Need Help Setting Up My New Graphic Card!


(MadJack) #21

Maddog, I"m not sure what you want as specs but I’ll give you a rundown of my setup.

Asus A7N8X-Deluxe
1 GB OCZ low latency PC2700 w/ Copper Heatsinks (2-3-3-5) running in Dual Channel mode
AMD XP 2500+ OC’ed at 2035 MHz (FSB @ 185 x 11)
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro (128 MB) Core and Memory running at 378 MHz (Not really OC’ed yet)
160 GB’s worth in 4 HDs
Swiftech 22600 series watercooler + chipset cooler + VGA cooler + CPU cooler http://www.swiftnets.com/

I haven’t OC’ed a lot because the CPU waterblock is BO and I’m waiting for it before I can really crank it up.

The video card is cool, chipset is almost cold :smiley: I’m really eager to see what the CPU will give as temperature. For now, it’s around 42-43 C with stock heatsink and fan (Volcano 9 broke last week :(). I suspect it’ll be around 30 and probably lower.

CPU OC’ing higher than 185 is dodgy at best. My PCB version is 1.4 and you can’t expect much with this version. I hear it’s much better with 2.0.

Don’t complain, I get 120 normally WITH DSL, 80 on a good one :frowning: :banghead:

Still trying to figure out why that is…
