Preventer Posted December 12, 2003 Posted December 12, 2003 (edited) Yep I have jumped the fence and built me a peeee 4. Being a long time AMD fan I decided it was time to bail. Stay tuned for some very interesting benchies compared to my AMD rig.

Beer Posted December 12, 2003 Posted December 12, 2003 So was my ASUS advice spot on???? :) Brew and I will never buy another ABIT. Cheers Beer
Preventer Posted December 12, 2003 Author Posted December 12, 2003 (edited) Abit is good.. I have NEVER had problems with them. You know me though, I never have problems ;) Edited December 12, 2003 by Preventer
BUFF Posted December 12, 2003 Posted December 12, 2003 (edited) Hi Beer, Well, I've just bought my 2nd NF7-S V2.0! Hopefully this 1 will be as good as the other is. 1st time that I will be running 2 of the same board at once. Edited December 12, 2003 by BUFF
Beer Posted December 13, 2003 Posted December 13, 2003 hehe well it must be my ABIT luck then... I sent my machine to Preventer (he is the ships SubSea Engineer :)) and it worked great for him, he OC'ed it, then he sent it back to me, well my gaming envirionment is as you know is a loft in a garage, the temps from "greenhouse effect" easily get 80° F- 100°F, when in the loft I run a window unit A/C but the temps only come down to 85-90. I was experiencing lock ups and unannounced reboots. Naturally the only difference since it the same machine and software is the room temps... So I run ASUS now and they seem to tolerate these room temps fine (currently have in the garage a A7N8X Pro, A7V8X, and a A7V8X-X). I swapped preventer my ABIT NF-7 rev 1.2 board for a Linksys 4 Port router :), he is happy (and its running fine for him) and so am I. LOL of course this time of year I bet that ABIT would be purring away in my 20 °F garage. Say Buff have ya thought about joining the Biohaz folding team :). Cheers Beer
Preventer Posted December 18, 2003 Author Posted December 18, 2003 (edited) Now its time for some 3DMARK :) no clockin... card and cpu at stock using Cat. 3.10's Edited December 20, 2003 by Preventer
BUFF Posted December 22, 2003 Posted December 22, 2003 (edited) Hey Beer, Just to let you know that NF7-S V2.0 no.2 came up even easier than no.1 (familiarity, I guess) :D Next step is to strip down no.1, slap in the XP2500+ & overclock that sucker! Hoping for some good results. B) This is no.1 XP1700+@200x11, 9700 non-Pro at 325/310 Omega 3.10's Edited December 22, 2003 by BUFF
Preventer Posted December 22, 2003 Author Posted December 22, 2003 Did a little clocking on this one 2.8c stock = 14 * 200 this run = 14 * 219 ATI Radeon 9700 pro cat 3.10's 360/340
NH2112 Posted January 4, 2004 Posted January 4, 2004 About 2 months ago I finally got a new PC built, w/3.0GHz P4, ASUS P4P800, 512MB, & GeForce 5200 128MB. I overclocked it 20% in BIOS the other day, ran it at 3.6GHz and 100% CPU usage with Folding@Home for almost a full day and the highest temp showing in my log file was 57C. Average for the 8-hour monitoring period was 53C. To really give it a workout I had F@H running 100%, plus was doing a drive-to-drive burn and playing mah-jongg at the same time. There was a slight stutter with the mah-jongg cursor, but other than that there are absolutely no problems at all. I had a friend with a cable modem DL 3DMark for me but the CD she put it on was bad so I'll have to get another one. and give it a shot. Sure beats the hell out of the 7+ year old P133 I was using up till then! (And still have as my Falcon 3.0, Tornado, Su27, Longbow, and X-Wing machine LOL)
