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 Quote
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 Quote
+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 Quote
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 Quote
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 Quote
+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 Quote
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 Quote
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) Quote
