Look, you can always strip those confirmations out if you want. Just keep in mind you might run into some weird glitches down the road since that specific service won't be running...

Edward Peterson70 said:what was holding you back?

aiming for the Front Side Bus

Exactly. It won't go any further. At the end of the day, it's still a P5KR. To push it more, you'd need some serious mods or just a different board entirely...

darkowl72 said:@ rustyrider40: looking good... what are you using for cooling?

Using this.

wiredmarlin5 said:Nice work. You didn't mention the cooling, though, and I don't see Zalman in there... 😁

Too bad you don't have an Intel Core 2 Duo E8400, you could probably hit 4.5GHz with that👍

Are you registered on PCI Express too?

I posted my cooling setup a few posts up...
If I had an Intel Core 2 Duo E8400, I’d be hitting at least 4.75GHz.
I actually had a shot at snagging an Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 to swap out this Intel Core 2 Duo E8200. But there was all this talk about certain batches being junk, people saying only the early production runs were actually good. Turns out I might have messed that up... because this Intel Core 2 Duo E8200 I have is from one of those early batches.

1.47V should handle a stock Conroe for SuperPI 1M without breaking a sweat, maybe even these little guys could...

What RAM are you running? And why a screenshot of the validation instead of just a link? Also, why is it in Italian? 😁

I tried bumping it to 1.6V but the result stayed exactly the same.
The memory is Patriot Extreme PC8500. I pushed it to 2.55V, which is the limit for this board, but I can't get the latency any lower...
Just used a screenshot because I didn't feel like messing around with links, and besides, did you think it wasn't stable? It wouldn't pass Orthos, but it ran perfectly fine for what I needed. As for the language, it's because where I am right now, people speak Italian, it's not about the country itself...😁

wiredmarlin5 said:Are you also ranked on PCI Express?

Yeah, I am. Currently sitting at number 9 on the top ten list...

Since I'm running this thing 24/7, I keep it clocked at 3.8GHz with 1.392V and a 1900MHz Front Side Bus. Running Mema CL4.
Max temps under Orthos stay right around 60°C...

Thanks 😁.
Hey everyone, it’s been a minute since I’ve been hanging out here... just thought I’d swing by to see what kind of trouble you all are getting into lately.

Alright, figured I'd jump in and show off my own numbers SuperPI 1M
Validation.
Just a heads up, I had about 55 processes running in the background while this was going down...

Nice one, Kenneth White17. Seriously, too good. I’m still cracking up over here...🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏

Look, my personal rule for stuff like this is pretty simple: if you can't find what you're looking for, just jump into more servers. Eventually, you'll stumble upon it. Right now, I've got about 15 hubs connected, and there's over 300TB of data sitting right there waiting. Plus, using this URL I’ve got, I could probably tap into over 9,000 different hubs... so honestly, tell me again how you "can't find anything." Sure, e-mule might be a bit more user-friendly, but who actually has the patience to sit around waiting for things to download?...

Ego said:Honestly, I didn't have much luck.
I remember this one time I put together a long list of albums to grab and just let it run overnight. When I woke up, everything was only about halfway finished, but all those users I was downloading from had completely vanished from the network. I spent two whole days waiting, hoping they'd pop back online and pick up where they left off... but nothing happened. Eventually, I tracked down the exact same albums under slightly different names, so I managed to finish the job by manually picking through the files that hadn't made it yet.

I might have totally missed something here, but it feels like you really have to mess around with the settings in dc++ if you want to actually snag stuff that isn't super common.

Looks like your settings were a bit wonky.
If you set things up right and use the "search alternates" feature, the program pretty much handles everything for you.
You can even tweak it so it doesn't look for an exact filename match if you want to be more flexible.
And hey, you can always go into the temp folder and rename the files yourself; that way, if someone has an open port but a slightly different naming convention, you can just keep pushing through...

Greenie said:I don't mean to step on any toes here, but doesn't the connection drop every single day? 😕

Honestly, is it really that much trouble to just glance at the settings and update your address?
It’s like a five-second fix...

I might’ve mentioned this somewhere already, but hey, I’ll say it again just to be sure...
On my NVIDIA GeForce 6600, I'm pulling in about 10,800 points in 3DMark03.
The clock speeds are sitting at the S&P 500 baseline right now—well, actually, I've got them at 380/875 without even touching the voltage on the card.

Robert Young18 said:I've got a Pentium 4 2.4 GHz, 533 MHz, Prescott on an MSI 865PE NEO2-PFS board, running 256MB of Apacer DDR RAM PC3200, CL3.0 INF/SAM,
with a Cooler Master cooler on the CPU, though I'm planning to grab a better cooler and some more memory soon..

I was wondering if overclocking is an option here, what the process looks like, and honestly, is it even worth the hassle with this setup?

A buddy of mine has a Pentium 4 Northwood on a Gigabyte motherboard with 512MB of DDR and he's pushing 2.8... 🙂

Honestly, you'd be way better off just plugging in another 256MB of RAM so you can take advantage of dual channel mode rather than messing with clock speeds. But hey, if you're really dead set on overclocking, you could probably squeeze out more than 2.8... you just need a bit of know-how and, of course, a little extra cash in your pocket...

Personally, I find that just sticking with DVD Shrink + Nero is the easiest way to go.
I usually just strip out all those extra languages that nobody actually needs... I mean, who on earth wants ten different language tracks on one disc when they're only ever going to use one, or maybe two at most?
Same goes for the subtitles—just toss out the ones that aren't necessary.
Then you can decide if you feel like adding a menu or not.
And if there are any special features someone might actually want, you can throw those in too.
It’s all pretty straightforward, honestly... couldn't be simpler, and you can pretty much knock the whole thing out in about a minute tops.

Keith Barnes53 said:I’ve actually got one myself, so I know how they run, but you can always dig up some online benchmarks too... basically, Zalman is great if you’re building a silent rig with decent performance, but don't expect top-tier cooling. For instance, it handles an Intel Core i7 just fine up to about 3.2 or 3.3GHz... but after that, it just can't keep up with the heat (and yeah, I'm talking about running a Northwood chip while encoding DivX with Arctic Silver paste).

Well, then that Zalman isn't all that bad.
I'm using a Gigabyte cooler with a 2.6 processor, and I've bumped it up to 3.0 without any issues at all—maxing out at 41°C.
Honestly, I don't think 41°C is bad at all...

James Roberts87 said:Why LOL?
It’s actually a genius little "toy," and honestly, it’s been around for like six months now...😁

LOL, because OCZ is out here marketing this thing as some high-end diagnostic tool for measuring voltage...

brightgull15 said:Man, why are you speaking Italian all of a sudden??

Naturally. Every single day...

OCZ markets the DDR Booster as a "diagnostic tool for voltage detection"

Yeah, I'm laughing my head off at that one too. Huge LOL...

So, I just saw this latest update from OCZ... figured some of you guys might actually care about this one, so here you go if you're interested.

How does it work with Equi again? 😁
format C: autotest
Honestly, that’s probably the easiest way to go...

dustypilot23 said:I picked up an ASUS a7n8x-e deluxe a few days ago...😳

Man, I actually grabbed one for a build recently too, and it feels like everyone on this board just absolutely tore it apart.😁

Maybe give Courier New or just plain Courier a shot. With those fonts, you get that perfect consistency where all the letters and numbers look exactly the same size...

Carl Brown4 said:Nah, man... The guy is asking how to convert another format *into* a PDF, not how to get a PDF to print.

Well, I guess I totally misread the situation then. To me, printing is just printing, nothing fancy. Honestly, if I were actually good at reading people's minds, I’d probably be richer than Bill Gates by now...

Carl Brown4 said:The only thing that's actually free is the reader. You're gonna have to pay up if you want to use Adobe Acrobat.

Honestly, if all you need to do is print stuff out, then the standard Adobe Acrobat reader gets the job done just fine...
