GmAz Posted June 23, 2004 Posted June 23, 2004 Ok, I haven't been looking on the forums lately due to new and crappy work schedule. But...which Athlon 64 chip OCs well and on what mobo? I got a nice watercooling setup that keeps my 2500 barton at 2.4Ghz under 40C during the summer (and it is freaking hot here). I was looking at the 3400 64bit chip. I know, I could have searched the fourms and read like a hundred posts, but like I said about my schedule, it stinks now. I also know that all chips and mobos OC different so please dont' link me to the rules of OCing. Oh hey, since I shall be gettin a x800XT PE (as long as things pan out as planned), do they offer them in PCI Express and what mobos offer that and what procs do those mobos sport? Sorry if this is a repeat question, no time to search, just enough to type this and off to work. Late!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Goonie Posted June 23, 2004 Posted June 23, 2004 Built a new Athlon 64 3000+ desktop for my neighbor. Got his up to 2.34Ghz no problem. running PC3200 Memory at default timings. That chip hates anything other than "auto" in the memory section of the bios. I threw down an Asus K8V Delux motherboard for him. Running 4 months now...like a champ. Only thing is...it likes to roll back the video card drivers on its own. So if you ever have a problem during reboot..its those darned drivers by Nvidia. Stick with Omega Drivers!

r_g Posted June 23, 2004 Posted June 23, 2004 well the only pci express mobos out right now are for the new pentiums. But i dont think any graphics cards are out yet. What i would sugest if u are going to be going a64 iand sck 754 is get a nforce 250/via k8t800PRO chipset. They have the working pci/agp lock for stable cos with fsb. I think the best ones out right now are probably msi k8t platinum(nforce250) and the abit k8t800Pro(VIAK8TPRO) ones around 130 and abit is 105. Im about to get the abit one for myself and get to 2.4 ghz because i got to 2.35 and then my video got a error and rebooted. So i need that lock bad.
