This is probably the last set of benchmarks. Overclocking any higher will result in a post but bluescreens during any heavy CPU usage.

Yes this stupid thread is back. Why? Well this stupid man made a stupid purchase. I got a Celeron D 450 for $5.00 cash on kijiji. Going to play around with it a bit tonight and post some overclocking and benchmarks in a bit. Not going to bother with anything except the GTX770 that's already in the …

This dodgy Aureal AU8810 with suspiciously few caps. There is no other card like this on google photo. (until this post) Manufactured 0246, almost 2003 and still a Vortex 1? I'm curios if it works... That is weird all the ones on google images have all those empty spots populated with capacitors.

I've been looking for a local InWin A500 for years now and finally someone messaged me saying they have one. However, I don't believe this is an InWin case, but rather a clone of it? InWin Clone.jpg I'll buy it regardless, but.. Confirmation would be nice.. I handled a lot of A500 cases back in the …

I told him I'll pay extra and he told me I'm good. Well I'm NOT FUCKING GOOD! I have to lie down and get away from all this for a while. I'm done. …

there might be a way masking cpu pins :) Yeah I did some quick googling and it seems you can bridge a few pads to get 1.4V pretty easily with a conductive ink pen. I don't have one and the cheapest one I can find is about $15.00 online, which is more than the 420 CPU cost. lol This entire thing was …

So just for fun I put the Celeron 1.6 in my MSI G31 board to see what would happen. There are some basic overclocking options so I'll see what it can do over the next couple of hours. First I am doing the same benchmark runs with the GTX770 to see how it compares to the P35 board. GTX770 - Celeron D …

as I said you most likely fried clockgen with P4 :o, or it got so hot somehow one of the pins responsible for serial communication (54 55) disconnected from the track It certainly seems that way. This motherboard isn’t anything I care about though so I’m not going to attempt any kind of repair on …

So I've tried going back to an older bios version, F11 instead of F13 and no change when it comes to overclocking. CPU still remains at stock clock speed regardless of anything I do in the bios. Also I've tried Systool and it reports "your motherboard was not found in the detection list" at first, …

Force lowest DRAM frequncy and boot with it, BEFORE you try to test "1600" under FSB. Of that doesn't help reflash the BIOS to older version or switch to moded one. Also Does Ctrl+F1 BIOS unlock change anything ? This whole time I've always made sure the memory is at it's rated speed or lower but …
