btw Shug, minimum P4 is 1.4 gig. maybe u have the power rig and aint saying...? lol.

[Shug]

I'm about dead sure this P4 is a 1.3 Ghz. When they were first offered by Dell (*background vomiting sounds*) the options were 1.3 / 1.4 / 1.5 - this was 3+ years ago but I remember it well.

Not to worry, I should have sufficient cash up in 5/6 months time to build my own rig worth about $1500 - which should be pretty crash hot.

By that time I'll certainly be needing it though :D

Seriously think we have to split this thread up so as to sort out the AMDs and the Intels

[[sm]Xponential]

Sony MDR-CD580 - from memory they were around $180. I've tried the Sennheiser HD500 and the Plantronics DSP500 since getting the Sony pair but they just don't compare. Great balance over low, mid and high tones, very comfortable but unfortunately they are HiFi headphones so I have to use a separate microphone - a Labtec Verse 504.

t3ch.asd, what cooling have you got on that?

[t3ch.asd]

hey man,

For the CPU, im running a TT volcano 9 july edition (you may remember that the TT 9's came in half copper half high grade plastic) but this was full copper, good for cooling spread :) - I have the standard 2 x 80mm fans at the rear of the case with 2 hard drive bay cooling 80mm fans at the front and a modded 80mm fan on the side panel cooling my video and PCI cards with a max rpm of almost 22000 :) but yeah, system temperature is up there as the FSB is going nuts complimenting the clock speed :S its around 34-36 degrees, but thats not too bad..the power supply has its own dedicated 2x80mm fans with pci fan controller...so with all the fans turned up to max rpm in the power supply, HDD and case fans, its air flow is pretty beaut

cheers

[PuGZ]

Get a TT Volcano 11+ :p

[t3ch.asd]

much better value for ur money when u go full copper tt 9 ;)

[[sm]Xponential]

First thing that came to my mind was how loud is your computer?

[t3ch.asd]

quiet as a mouse when i want it to be....the beauty of controlling your fan speeds :)

[PuGZ]

75dB. :p

[t3ch.asd]

haha yeah yeah whatever brudda

[Beefy]

75dB. :p
.... while it's turned off...

[t3ch.asd]

alright guys, LAN @ my place, then i can prove all you scammers wrong :)

[PuGZ]

I read a review saying that at the stock fan speed it is 60dB so I added the 15 just for good measure. :p

I know for sure it's something about 60dB though. ;)

PS: Where do ye live?

[t3ch.asd]

yeah u like blowing things WAYYYYY out of proportion dont ya !! !!

P.S. there is this awesome feature GS forums use (one of a kind) called private messaging :P

[PuGZ]

Isn't it when you add 10dB it doubles in volume? Logarithm-something-majiggy. :p

PS, I'm a lazy mofo. :p

[t3ch.asd]

sunshine coast, sunny queensland :)

[PuGZ]

Muddy, wet Melbourne. :p

[t3ch.asd]

oi pugz im coming down to melb the end of the year, and i hear that your gonna host a lan, good boy...ill take the first invite :nana:

[Beefy]

Isn't it when you add 10dB it doubles in volume? Logarithm-something-majiggy. :p

PS, I'm a lazy mofo. :p
Yeah. :) Everything you increase sound by 10dB, in effect it's twice as loud.

[PuGZ]

A whole GS-lan, sounds funkai. :p

[t3ch.asd]

i actually think that would be a mad idea..


uno, find a place that is central and hire it out, then all night lanning goodness

[PuGZ]

Who would be willing to pay. :p

[no gun]

my fan runs at 94.6 dB

[Beefy]

Why do I fail to believe that? The loudest I've seen / heard is about 47dB...

[PuGZ]

Why do I fail to believe that? The loudest I've seen / heard is about 47dB...
60dB for mine (http://www.digit-life.com/articles2/tt-socketa-volcano11/). ;)

[t3ch.asd]

i think that i love my computer :)

[Beefy]

60dB for mine (http://www.digit-life.com/articles2/tt-socketa-volcano11/). ;)
I don't know if that's something to be proud of or not.. :) Do you run it flat out though? Most people can get away with sub-50dB speeds..

For noise comparisons, check the chart on this page (http://ccrma-www.stanford.edu/~jos/r320/DB_SPL.html).

[PuGZ]

Well, that's at stock speed. Mine runs at at the max speed. :p

[cleeoo]

Lol...you should see my computer sometimes when playing CSS with background applications...W00t for freezing every 5 seconds...Normal for when I have nothing on in the background in huge fights is about 30-40, when running around by myself it's about 60-70 and at the start, it takes about a few seconds to get into the buy menu but then I'm fine after that...With things on in the background, in huge fights or heaps of people around me such as the beginning when everyone's running from spawn, I usually freeze up..so yeh :P All settings low btw :P

hey man,

cheers
Hmmm

Don't know about you guys, but i see a few issues with this "Story"

1. I have never seen or heard of a fan that runs at 22,000 rpm on a case - that would sound like a boeing jet - typo, or you don't know what your talking about?? Most case fans will run at what, around 3 - 6k

2. You said in your first post your temp was 29 degrees, then you say here - "system temp is up there at 34 degrees" - Once again, i think this is wrong or a typo. My pc and all i have owned even with arctic silver and tt cpu fans sit around 39 - 49.
34 is no where near "Up there" it's actually well below a standard idle temp - and 29, well you will only get that with liquid cooling, if that's even possible.

3. You have oc'd it by almost 1 gig?? why?

[cleeoo]

Possibly the accidental extra 0 on the 2200...Maybe he's got some weird ass cooling or he lives in a fridge for teh second response. For the third response, he may just be a crazy psycho like others out there who love to destroy their CPUs ^_^

[PuGZ]

My PC hovers around 30 - 32 (34 while gaming), but at a huge price. Volcano 11+ here. Am switching to one of those silent fans soon, I've been driven insane!

[PieSub]

When talking about CPU temperature you should really relate it to the case temperature. Because if I said my CPU was running at 15 degrees and didnt tell you I lived in Russia or something you would think I was lying.

[OutKast]

mine runs at 32 while gaming...and around 29-31 when not *Case Temp*

[PuGZ]

hehe the url to the site does represent AU area code...

just had another check im running at 32 d's :thumbsad:

[PieSub]

What I was trying to say is that you should say that your CPU runs what ever degrees above the case temperature. For example my CPU runs 15 degrees above case temp under load and about 10 idle.

I live in NSW out in the country... people might try and hunt me down or something if I give my location away...

At one point, before I melted a hole in my case window with a soldering iron and put a fan there, I tried many ways to get my case temp down. One was putting a desktop fan pointed at the open side of my case, worked well but dust was a problem. Then I thought I can fit two 80mm fans into the front, but dust again was a problem so...

PWAOR MALUS.. You should be running an Athlon64 FX-57 with that setup mate..

I assume that system is built for gaming which leads me to ask: what made you choose the Athlon64 x2 ?

woah malus erm bank robbery for sure

dvd reader cd brner combo
erm xp ( erm service pack 0 i guess.. dodgy windoze) sif im paying for that... nah lost my cdkey :'( my gay motherboard wont let me install usb2 without sp1 aswell
averagae like 30-60 fps on css nowadays 1024bywhatever and all low... its getting worse every update

[mr-thermaltake©]

i have a dead harddrive

or not

i dont evenn know

[Malus]

The X2 only cost $800 and i do allot on DVD encoding so the dual core processor helps because i can play some CSS (@220+fps) and still encode the dvd with ZERO drope in frame rate.
The system cost me around the $6K mark i lost count after $4k the cards where $730 wholesale. I love having the right friends :)

[cleeoo]

Damn Malus....that is one bloody nice system..Dual Core is better for multitasking...If only I had that much to spend on a computer *sigh*

Anyone remember the crippled MX-SE series? Twice the memory (usually) half the memory bandwidth (always)... Nice job by the Nvidia marketing guys cheap, good looking specs, half the raw performance of a normal MX series card... Ouch...

Half the performance of a MX card!?

Is that measurable by modern-day devices?

I think that's about it

[thatotherguy]

The 518 is basically identical to thee 510... Why would you splash out on a new mouse?

[cleeoo]

I would agree with that other guy....I mean I went from a MX700, to a crappy old Microsoft Intellimouse or something from 4 years ago because I didn't like the MX700 anymore...Then I bought a MX518...To be honest, besides the feel of the mouse being better, I really hate the high sensitivities of the MX518...but I haven't played FPS's with high sensitivity for years... I'd keep the MX510

Prelim test with no overclocking with 3DMark 05 was 6128 which isn't spectacular but then i haven't oc'ed it and there's no water cooling which is another option i am considering.
It just takes money.

Just modded my motherboard and removed the OTES (Abit IC7-MAX3).

Much quiter now- I'm also ordering a new CPU and video card cooler.

[Boomer]

That doesn't sound right, you should be getting 7500+ 3dmarks at stock clocks with that card. yeah you were right. Had a play around and got 7982 on the last test i did which is a bit more like it. Just ran the demo test, not the full thing.

Should get off my butt and purchase the thing but i can't justify it really.

After some more tweaking i got up to:

3D Mark 05 8266
3D Mark 03 16632

This can be obsessive once you start getting into it lol.

[The Penguin]

Ordered my new CPU cooler, Northbridge cooler and video card cooler. I got it all from www.pccasegear.com. Can't wait to get it- my rig should be pretty quiet!

[Boomer]

What are you getting camper?

[CoRoNa]

Using PC3200 ram will only limit you - i.e. no overclocking. Also, the AMD systems strive on low latency ram, the Gskill PC3200 and OCZ3200 Gold series are the best ram for low latency and are by far better in performance to corsair.

Boomer. If you are interested in overclocking, i'd reccomend getting the pc4400 gskill ram TCCD/TCC5. If you can bump up the voltage on your ddr, get the OCZ Gold VX series. At around the same price range, the PC4400 will yield better performance as the CorsairXL at stock voltage and still leave you heaps of room to overclock if you wish to do so in the future. (Stock DDR ram for PC3200 = 200MHZ - gskill overclockable to 300MHZ at the same latency as the Corsair ram).

Gskill - http://www.pccasegear.com.au/prod2568.htm
Review - http://www.madshrimps.be/?action=getarticle&articID=350

I have been doing a lot of research lately to purchase some good overclocking ram.

NB: gskill and ocz also make 2X1gb ddr sticks as well.

[thatotherguy]

Is overclocking really worth it anymore? It doesn't give you all that much of aa performance boost and it's not like most modern PCs are really stretched for power... I mean sure it's kind of fun as a hobby, but if I got 2 computers with exactly the same hardware and optimised the CAS latency, pumped up the FSB a little and overclocked the video card what are the odds anyone could tell the difference without a synthetic benchmark or frame counter?

[The Penguin]

I'm getting an Arctic Cooling Super Silent Ultra, a Zalman Northbridge cooler and an Arctiv VGA Silencer REV2. I also ordered a SilenX fan. Should all be very quiet.

Running a P4E 3.2 ghz at 4.1 with memory overclocked 40% is a huge difference. Stock prescott fan - air cooled. 1gb OCZ PC3200 platinum edition rev2 (200mhz stock oc'd to 260mhz - can go to 280). I can only imagine what the A64's can do.

Here is a review on the best memory for those who are interested.
http://www.anandtech.com/memory/showdoc.aspx?i=2145&p=20

[thatotherguy]

The A64s are not as memory bound due to their shorter pipelines so I don't think the performance gain is as noteable...

[Slasher]

Ok here is my systems:

SERVER 1

CPU: *Pentium 2 400mhz

I have about six other computers. But they are for sale.

[Beefy]

Question - why three lower-spec servers?

[thatotherguy]

Yeah ditto that... I can see if they had a stack of HDD space or something, but what, pray tell, are those dinosaurs serving?


Cheap 1.2GB hard Drive.


Um as opposed to those really expensive ones you get these days... :P
Can anything more than free truely be cheap for a 1.2GB HDD? That much space is worth about 90c in hard drives and about 8c in optical media...


Laser Mouse


Wouldn't that be litterally worth more than any other part of the PC?

[shadowhawk]

hehe im on intel centrino 1700 with x600 gfx card. ddr2 memory of some type 60 gig and wireless network.
plus a big mofo screen thats widescreen probably 17inchish gets good fps when power is plugged in but without it.. think power save options screw me.. but it is pewrty to look at..

Think Print servers and Picture Servers.

[Zendude]

and FTP servers, and Unix or Solaris or Linux servers, and Win98 machines loaded up with all the old classic games that won't run on XP, firewall machines, linux clusters, testbed machines for experimenting software and hardware setups, for black boxes, white boxes, blue boxes, honeypots, home web servers, multihomed routers, automated downloading clients. This list can go on but there are heaps of uses for Pentium boxes I can think of. In fact I own a Dual Pentium 200 machine with a 1gig SCSI drive and 128meg of 72pin EDO ram. Why? Because it's dual processor - that's why.

Crossfire does not give you, as good performance as SLI. And the design is inferior to SLI. It resembles the old Voodoo 2 cards in SLI mode.

why don't you go get an athlon FX-57 or an FX-60?

Possibly because one could get a duel core opteron, overclock it up to the same speed and save yourself about $1000...

Bleeding edge hardware is never worth the money...

[Slasher]

I agree with thatotherguy. Remember those Celeron 300A proccessors years ago they had great overclock ability.

Theres lots more but i don't want to give you guys a heart attack with how much it costs.
heres a hint it costs more than $7000 just got these parts some time last week. the CPU by itself costs $2000 AUD

Is that the x2 fx?

[thatotherguy]

The FX-60 is the duel core FX yeah.

[Saltydog]

Wow, so turns out I'm slightly embarassed to put my computer up here, and have decided instead just to comment on the size of Turd's E-Wang, Feel like a pokemon next to this godzilla,

FWIW,

I am currently setting up an unusual gaming system...VERY good performance (IMHO) for price AUS$2500

Opteron "toledo" 165@2655mhz @1.538v with OEM HSF @ 37 degrees celcius (peak)
OCZ plat EL pc3200 ram 295mhz (2/3 divider) @ 2.87v 2x1024mb 2-2-2-5
DFI lanparty UT NF4 SLI-DR expert mobo 885mhz FSB (1770mt HTT)
Pixelview 7900GT overclocked to 550mhz core/2x750mhz mem @ 5.16v
(video card water cooled with thermaltake bigwater)
2 x WD Caviar 250gb sata 2 HDD in raid 0
1 x WD Rapter 37gb sata 2 HDD
Silverstone zeus 650w PSU
Thermaltake armour case

Prime95 stable for 12hrs;
While its still in the testing process, the results look promising..

3dmark2001 - 31,642
3dmark2003 - 17,208
3dmark2005 - 9,227
3dmark2006 - 5,439

These results are still provisional......as I expect them to rise by around 5% with a bit of fine tuning.

I am sure people with more aggressive settings will be able to O/C the same set-up to at least 3000mhz ( approx 5400+ using the P4 comparison measure ) which will add approx 10% to all scores.

In back to back testing against my old O/Ced P4
2800mhz (3385mhz) Heatpipe heatsink with dual fan
ATI radeon 9600 XT O/C to its limit
3 x 512mb legend pc3200 ram 4-4-4-8
D865PEARL mobo 800FSB
1 x WD rapter 37gb HDD sata 2
1 x seagate 40gb HDD ide 166mhz
thermaltake 480w PSU
with same settings:
Not even worth posting results but I wil....:

3dmark2001 - 13,331
3dmark2003 - 5,488
3dmark2005 - 1,764
3dmark2006 - unable to run

IMHO...
The opteron should be the best choice for ALL gamers on a buget (provided you dont mind spending a week or 2 setting up the system.....easy, but time consuming)

BTW,
at the risk of starting a spamming war....:D
For REALLY easy overclocking and safe results try a DFI expert....not perfect....but damn close:)

For a link to Lennins OverClocking analasys ( tell him your specs and he will give you rthe best stable O/C BIOS settings.....he is both clever and generous.....:D
