jayvio Posted May 30, 2003 Posted May 30, 2003 (edited) It was just delivered today. i was going to try to install it myself. but it seems pritty difficult. so i am going to bring it to the guy that built it and have him do it. how far do u guys think i will be able to OC. this bad boy. Also, i have and asus a7v8x. and it unlocked my old cpu. do u think it will unlock this one, or will i have to do some wire trick crap. thanks, jay Edited May 30, 2003 by jayvio Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayvio Posted May 30, 2003 Posted May 30, 2003 in order to get to the cpu and take off the old heatsink i think i would need to remove the mobo. and doing that means tacking everything else out as well.. or maybe i can just try to do it with the mobo still in there . what do u think Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiph0pan0nym0usx Posted May 30, 2003 Posted May 30, 2003 well, if it looks like u have to take out the mobo, it would be best to let the pro handle it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiMcH33 Posted May 31, 2003 Posted May 31, 2003 its not difficult at all to install......i oced my 2500 barton to 2.26 right out of the box.......i think you'll get a decent overclock....and about the unlocking, yes it will unlock, and make sure you update bios Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayvio Posted May 31, 2003 Posted May 31, 2003 (edited) OK, I just had it installed. i am giong to the bios now to OC. it. I will let you know how it goes i have it clocked to 2183MHz. right now. but i have a question. when i was watching the guy put the heatsink on my cpu. after he put it on he lifted it up and moved it around a little before he could clip it on tight. i hope the the thermal grease didn't get screwed up. because it isn't running hot but hotter than before like 47C at full load. the old one ran at 40- 42. also i just ordered a volcano 10, with a thermal pad, to put on it. when i take the old heatsink off. what do i clean the old grease off of the cpu with. thanks for your help so far.
