What's your memory assessment speed?

I had no intention of overclocking (I know you didn't say I said I did). I know the dangers of it, which is why I haven't really done it.

Lol to the DDR1 @ 200Mhz

Also, I saw something very similar to the thing you last fiddled with, in a fish tank, with de-mineralized water, on Creigslist for about $1.2k.

No one bought it. =P

the reason i mention not to o.c. laptops is cos i have had alot of friends that got me to install o/s's they preferred and all the laptops i have used when sitting on my lap without blocking the exhaust and intake vents still get really warm, one amd laptop i had to keep moving as it was almost burning my leg. lol. so you could imagine if people with laptops like that were to overclock them, you could just about fry an egg on the exhaust vents. just a word of warning IMO, but if you want to try it show us the results, and if it doesnt have the settings in the bios i will be interested in how you can actually alter the fsb and mem speeds with some sort of software so i could experiment with an older laptop i have.

yeh the 200mhz is a real blast to work with, especially when your used to using ddr3 quad core setup and that was a rebuild for a friends work machine that purely just controlls a digital camera and you have to install XP and all the software and only have 1 monitor at the time.

$1.2k! i never thought it would be so expensive? i have seen heaps of the vids on Utube with the water and even special grade oil, the actually showed the system running then they just add the oil to the tank. i find that really interesting, so naturally i wanna try it out. lol but what i was thinking is the motherboard will be completly bare, no heatsincs anywhere justy strait de-min water contact and a radiator with fan cooling and a few fans and pumps to allow flow and cooling to some point, just like a cars cooling system.

Yes well, unless I can overclock my Intel GMA 4500MHD to get better video/gaming performance, I have little interest in overclocking. :)

Yes I thought it was high priced too, apparently the mineral stuff is very very expensive, or was at the time I don't know it was around xmas 2008.

I guess mine is average!

Are these speeds good or bad?

i used to have those DDR2 corsair kits, they are great value for money and are a good performer, think i got mine around 940mhz range.

hey nice rig, is that 3.65 the stock clock or is that overclocked? i dont know the specs on amd's. nice scores to, the i7's get around 20k when overclocked so thats pretty close.

oh and welcome to the Seven forums, i noticed your running 7100? im on that build now and am downloading 7260 to see what its like. i couldnt be bothered keeping up with all the other builds.

3.2ghz is the stock clock on Phenom II 955 BE

well here is the difference with the 790i Ultra (XFX) and the 790i (digital PWM EVGA).
the advantage with the EVGA 790i digital PWM is it has almost no VDroop (around .008 difference opposed to .058 with the Ultra) and a mere 100mbp/s bandwidth difference. not noticeable at all. Aparently EVGA had to recall the 790i Digi PWM's for a faulty conexant chip? there was a world wide shortage, i dont know what that conexant chip is but thats why i had to wait so long for my RMA to come back, i suppose it was worth the wait then?

On the LEFT is the 790i EVGA Digital PWM, to the RIGHT we have the 790i Ultra XFX
both overclocked @ 1800FSB and 1680MHz RAM with the same timings and voltages.


personal best is my 2x2gb Super Talent Project X 1800 9/9/9/24/2T @2001MHz 9/8/7/18/2T on the xfx 790i Ultra. 8830mb/s
