I was actually thinking about that specific photo over on the other forum... 😉

Why don't you just grab it from the web instead?😁 😁 😁 😁 😁 😁 😁 😛

You really ought to include a proper image in the THUMBNAIL

I'm honestly not quite sure why nothing is showing up under your memory tab, though you might want to try downloading a different version of CPU-Z just to see if that clears things up...

To get everything validated properly, you actually need to go through the registration process within the CPU-Z app itself...

EDIT: You should probably shrink the image down a bit 🙂

So, here’s my dilemma: why on earth is there absolutely nothing showing up under the "Memory" tab in CPU-Z???😕
And how am I supposed to get my validation confirmed if that's happening???
Is it even possible to run the validation on a different PC instead...??

Man, you're moving way faster than I am! I managed to hit a best of 16.4 myself... I think I might have to download you tomorrow, northerncrane33... 🙂

You really ought to keep an eye on those temps while running Orthos... a 1.6 reading is really just the absolute ceiling for testing purposes... I wouldn't push it any further than that because things could get pretty unpredictable... 😁

So, if we're talking strictly theoretical limits, he could probably push it up to 3700MHz... maybe even hit about 1.7V if he's running a solid water cooling setup 🙂🙂

Personally, I managed to get my Curio running at 1.67V just using an air cooler😲

You could probably even bump him up to 1.55V—so does that mean he isn't hitting the 325 FSB limit after all?! 🙂

Bryan Wood49 said:Well, I just couldn't help myself... I finally decided to run the Super Pi—just like Steve suggested I do using Pi 1m—and I clocked in at 12.348 seconds... I'll be posting a screenshot of the results a bit later!
Regarding those temperature issues, though... it turns out it isn't actually an issue with the case itself... my desk is just way too cramped for proper airflow... anyway... I've gotta run now... catch you later...

That is absolutely fantastic!!!!!!! Such a killer score👍

Does he really need a side panel that much? I mean, there are plenty of other coolers out there that take up way less space and actually perform better... but hey, to each his own, I guess...

I mean, I definitely know what that is 🙂 but I’m just dying to know why on earth he picked that specific one... honestly, for that kind of money, he could have easily grabbed an actual Typhoon 🙂

I am genuinely curious to see where things land... what kind of timing are we actually looking at here? 🙂

By the way, Mike, I have to ask—where on earth did you manage to track down a Typhoon in the first place? It’s quite the mystery!

So you're running an AMD build, right? To be honest, I’ve always been a bit more of a Team Blue kind of guy myself, so I don't have quite as much hands-on experience with their stuff... but listen, you really don't need to sweat the ratio between your RAM and your processor... just let that part go because, frankly, that kind of metric only really matters when you're staring at synthetic benchmarks.

If you actually went ahead with what you were suggesting, you'd find that the CPU frequency would end up being exactly the same anyway...

Here, I'll drop a link for you so you can dig into the details a bit more, since overclocking AMD hardware can get a little bit more finicky and complicated than other setups...

And what exactly have you actually achieved with all that case modding, besides just staring at it for hours on end? 🙂

I was just sitting here wondering, though, what's the deal with this board when it comes to voltage regulation? Because if the voltages aren't adjustable, you're basically hitting a wall where you won't be able to push any serious overclocking at all...

Kyle Sanchez4 said:What's the max Intel speed for the GA 8i945P-S3?

I can't say for certain because that board isn't really built for any serious overclocking enthusiasts, but I'd guess you could probably push the Intel up to somewhere around 270 - 290MHz 🙂 (though maybe even a tiny bit higher if you get lucky)
...

There isn't much room here for overclocking... honestly, just pray that it runs smoothly and call it a day 🙂 (no offense intended)

Oh, come on now, what kind of nonsense is that... since we're looking at a 10x multiplier, honestly, almost any decent motherboard capable of handling a 450MHz Intel should be more than enough to push it to 4.5 GHz... 🙂

So, what’s your take on this?

Oh yeah, cooling it down with a massive Cyclone... I’m telling you, I'll definitely be cranking that thing up to 4.5 GHz

With a real liquid cooling setup, I could probably push the Intel Core 2 Duo E6700 past 5GHz...🙏

Bryan Wood49 says: So, I can definitely confirm that the Intel Core 2 Duo E6700 hits 4.0 GHz (actually 4.02 GHz) without any trouble at all using just the stock cooler...😉

Which basically means that if that processor ends up in the right hands—specifically my hands, 🙂 —it’s actually capable of pushing past 4.5 GHz 👍

Bryan, man, you've gotta sell it to me! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🙂

Bryan Wood49 said:So, here is my two cents on the whole situation, my friend!
A computer isn't going to fail just because you decide to do some PC Modding to suit your own style...it’s certainly not going to suddenly become a work of art...but what do you actually gain from that? At the end of the day, it’s all about the guts of the machine...you know, the CPU, the motherboard, the GPU, the RAM, and all that good stuff...all those flashy neon lights, acrylic panels, and various other bits of nonsense are just extra baggage...😉
The case is nothing more than a case...it's really just a basic hunk of plastic...Anyway, there's my take on things...and since this was your topic to begin with, I'll make sure to give it a wide berth next time...so yeah, that's about it...cheers...😉

I am right there with you on this one, honestly...as far as I'm concerned, I just want a big enough chassis with solid airflow, and that should be plenty...those little blinking lights are basically just toys for kids, much like any other senseless gadget designed solely for looks 😁

You can grab it right here

And honestly, I wouldn't touch the overclocking settings just yet, because you won't really gain much from it right now... Once you finally get your hands on that shiny new rig and have some time to actually settle in and get comfortable with how everything runs... then, and only then, should you start pushing those speeds as high as your heart desires...
