overclocknewb Posted August 26, 2004 Posted August 26, 2004 Hey all. Name's Tyler. I've been a computer tech for a point-of-sale software compnay for the past 5 years but I'm still a newb to building arena. I just built my third computer but I haven't really done much as far as mods. That's where this site comes in. Here are my current specs: Antec SOHO Server tower 1040B (400W PSU) Windows XP Pro SP1 AMD 3200+ XP w/Barton core 400MHz FSB Vantec Aeroflow HSF ASUS A7N8X-E Deluxe mobo 1GB Crucial Ballistix PC3200 (512X2) Gainward Golden Sample Geforce 6800 128MB oc'd to 425MHz/800MHz Creative Labs Audigy X-Gamer 40GB Seagate Barracuda Lite-On OEM 52X32X52 CD-RW Pioneer Slot Load DVD-ROM 1 Liquid Cathode tube (blue) 2 80mm Antec blue LED case fans (exhaust) 2 80mm Antec case fans (intake) I know that I should be able to overclock my CPU quite a bit, even without a water cooling system, but I've always been nervous about messing with it. In fact, I only just overclocked my video card last night via a guide I got off another site. I've seen what some of you guys are capable of and it's pretty incredible stuff. I'd like to get more involved. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

overclocknewb Posted August 27, 2004 Posted August 27, 2004 When I made this topic, I was waiting for my Ballistix to arrive in the mail. I was using Crucial DDR400, but just the regular stuff. Since building my computer I'd been having random reboot problems and I was hoping it was the RAM that was causing it. Well, I got my Ballistix today and it's really awesome stuff! Before, whenever I'd try to play Farcry it would reboot after about 5 minutes. I've been playing it all day and not once have I suffered a crash. This is great! Anyway, glad to be a part of the forum. I'm looking forward to playing with my CPU and see what I can squeeze out of it (wow, if that didn't come off sounding all wrong....).
