its between a 9800 pro and xt its literally a 9800xt with 128mb of mem. should be able to hit xt clocks. ditch the stock cooler if you want it to survive. this cooler does a poor job a cooling one of the worst in my opinion.

What about the x3230? Shouldnt be as hot by a littlr bit should work as per my link in the last page. Best bet probably e5800 bsel to 1066 is the best setup for the board in my opinion as per the memory weakness. Just the 2gbs of ram max turns me off to running a 3850. Would like to use it in early …

Technically it should allow to increase voltage, but not on every board. Some boards will completely ignore any voltage from SPD and I believe ASUS boards are in that category. I actually ended up doing a VDIMM mod instead of messing with the SPD! Unfortunately it didn't help that much. Voltage was …

Wait is that a 3 slot 820 board? Apparently those were supposed to be very buggy? Do you mean i820 MTH bug? That problem comes with i820 board using SDRAM,like asus P3C-2000 or Intel CC820 P3C-D is a single channel RDRAM board,so 3 memory slot is acceptable, unlike i840 chipset features dual …
