Here my system today
3000 939 @ 2.2ghz
MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum
1GB Micron ddr 400
80x2 Segate cuda SATA
BFG 6800
Antec 550W PSU
52x Aopen Cdrom
52X Samsung CDRW
all In a Mercury cabinet with 2x Case fans.
I went a step down with the Arosck board, turned it into a board with a 2800 754. It was good but, I was really-really unhappy with the layout.
NEO2 rocks 
whereād ya get the ram and card from ? prefer tccd though 
mine is priming at 2.5-3-3-7 @ 280 mhz with 2.7v
Got it from the US, I been using them for a while on the old rig
Those mem timings are sweet.. Wish I had some ultra high performance ram too 
You got a 3000+. Whats the temp like? Mine is idling at 38C.. Is this right? (at stock ) at 1.36V. :huh:
dont ask.. getting some horrible temps . recently switched to a neo2 as well.
your temps look good. was getting about the same on my a8v.
cool! Join the club, 
What about the VOL? 1.36V? Is this right or should it be 1.4?
If it is 1.36, leave it as it is. Donāt change it unless you want to overclock the hell out of your system. 3200+ at stock is 1.4xx. I forget what it actually is as I have been running it at 1.5 for such a long time!!!
Thanks nikhilb2008.
I did set it at 1.475 @ 2.2ghz for overclocking
BTW, Do you have Kingston Value Ram? How is the memory bandthwidth score in Sandra 2005?
First of allā¦call me Nikhil. Plain and simple!!!
And my Kingston Value Ram SUCKS BIG TIME!!! Am thinking of changing it. And I have not been able to download Sandra 2005. Am looking for it. If you have any link for it, please give me.
I knpow that my mobo is not the best for overclocking, but still, I think my RAM is holding back whatever remaining potential is there. I could touch 2.5GHz and while the computer was stable over a period of 2 days, including HEAVY gaming of CS, HL2, NFS UG2, Prime 95 would not run for more than a minute or 2 if I was lucky 
But usually, if my comp is unstable, I wiould get an error message while playing HL2 or CS. But this did not happen at 2.5GHz. This shows that my comp is stable but unstable
i dont think! theres need to go for more than 2.4 on your stock, oc is activity which should only be pertained to be if needed. you know you void your warranty.
All you guys with A8Vās rather than A8N-SLIās ,donāt you feel a bit guilty?
I would because i would feel that my system is not future proof.Why didn;t you people opt for the A8Nās???
nikhilesh
A8n sli is PCI E only.
So for people who have a really good agp card a8v or neo2 is the best option.
Not at allā¦ Why cause i have an AGP 6800GT which costed me for Rs 18500ā¦ If i would have gone for a PCIx based version of the same card it would have osted me about RS 27500ā¦ Same cards see the price differenceā¦ Also if i would have bought the NF4 Ultra rather than VIA than the price difference between the two chipsetsā¦ And if NF4 SLI than the price difference could have extended to RS 5000+ā¦ So in all (27500-18500)9000+5000=14000ā¦ Should i have spent that much for future proofingā¦ I think you would have done the same as i didā¦
My Current Configā¦
My Rig
Athlon 64 3200
Asus A8V Deluxe
1GB Trascend DDR 400 512x2

Now you decide how unfuture proof is this rigā¦ BTW no offences meantā¦
nice rigā¦ btw, when did u get that MS ccombo? howmuch did they cost?
hehehe heres my peice of crap that i use for my gaming
amd 1700+ 
gigabyte ga72mmh motherboard
512mb sdr septek ram
40gb samsung hdd 7200rpm
lg 32x cd writer
sony dvd rom
club 3d 9800pro 
400wats psu zebronics
Creative Adugiy1 sound card hacked to audigy2 
creative inspire 4.1
hacked to audigy2 is that possible
Heās using audigy 2 zs drivers. That is very much possible. However the output will still be limited to 16bit as the original audigy (other than the LS) canāt do 24 bit.
Mainly because I had a 6800 GT AGP. That was why I went for an A8V. I actually wanted a Neo2 plat(still want it), but it was not available and where it was available, that bleep bleep was asking 15K for the mobo. So, I told him to get lost and went for A8V.
And how is A8N more future proof??? Just because it has PCIe?? I donāt think so. There is no performance difference between AGP and PCIe. And some people say that the coming graphics cards will not be released in AGP and only in PCIe. If that is the case, I am still future proof as a 6800GT is more than enough for 3 years. By which time I will be changing my comp again!!!
OC is not needed!!! It is just the thrill of pushing your system to the limits. If you didnāt have an Intel original mobo and experimented with Ocāing, then you would have got hooked on to it. Ask all the ocāers. And I guess everyone knows that their warranty is void if they OC.
Yea, the trill of ocing, pushing ur sys to the max is great (and the fact that ur rig is the best among others )
am too stuck with a damn Intel mobo, yea, sabilitywise, it rox but no ocing so
regarding warranty, its very difficult to find out if the piece has been oced unless thechip completly conks and burns
Why overclock? Because I can .
