Thats it. its fired up. and its working fine! (yeah!) (well in a temporary case)
's are on me!!!!
Its not sooo bad as everybody says.ive done some tests with sandra and it seems to be between a pII-400 and a 500 in just about every, which is lower than what you guys expected, but i did some research and found the same results from other pople. Besides, that's more than enough for a music/film/classic games rig.
The o/c'ing options arnt great - but they do allow some steps in the overclocking (133,138,142 ect). ram timing is also adjustable (allthough i havnt played with it yet).
Right now the highest i can get is 150mhz cpu,150mhz ram,
that is giving me a cpu speed of 1.05ghz which isnt too shabby.
I can get 160/120 out of it, which gives me 1.12ghz, but the ram is set back to to 120mhz, which i dont really like.
The board has a 160/160. but it doesnt post - it must be the ram because it works fine at 160hmz cpu/120mhz ram.
Anyone know a quality, cheap sd-ram i can get? lol
I never realised just how LOUD my 235 Sparkle PSU was lol. the rig is so, so quiet its un belieavable!
I think im gonna 7v mod that psu fan since the psu is dead cold anyway, to see how quiet i can safely run it.
BTW, at 1.05ghz and no systems fans whatsoever, it seems to idle at 42c and load is about 45-46c. i really am liking this rig!
