Ola and gracias to all who helped me A) to put the build together and B) to OC it! I've learnt tons! And best of all, I had a blast doing it…I won't hesitate (am a bit disappointed it's done) to build another and am looking for family who want new comps at this time!
Special thanks to Nagasama who was super patient and helped out a bunch, you are the AMD guru! you ever need a place to crash in the Toronto area, give me a shout!
Here are the results of all the work, I finally cracked the 3.0 on the cpu @ 1.5V (temps below 50C @ load) and 10K on 3DMark:
CPU: Athlon 64 X2 3600+ @ 3.00Ghz
RAM: Crucial Ballistix 6400 2GB @ 846Mhz 4-4-4-12
Video: EVGA E-GEFORCE 8800GTS 320MB @ 670/1020
3DMark: Stock: 6845 – OC: 10050
Unless anyone sees any room for improvements??? I'm done for now….the RAM still has me a bit confused but ah well, it was when I tightened the timings that I finally cracked the 10k mark on 3DMark.
Quick question: you guys have been so much help I figured I'd join the folding team to return the favour as there isn't much I can do to help others with their questions. Is there any way to fold on two computers and have the scores combined to one user? For example mine and my wife's comp on my one account?
