Good going Ace

Can you check something for me please

I was playing around today putting the fans back on my pwm & noticed an odd thing.

There appears to be a blank socket on the bottom of the pic, just above the circular earth point. Am I a chip missing or is yours the same

The pic is from when i took the heatpipes off when I 1st got the board so i'm raesonably sure i've not knocked it off .

luck

thanks, Luck...it is a nice board and i was lucky to get a good CPU and ram.

here is your answer, i hope, on that picture.

Cheers ace that's arelief :Loll: it's just one of those things, I'd not particularly noticed till today. It's soldered rather than blank, which threw me .

you are not coming down with the flu bug; are you?..kidding aside, i am doing much better but my wife caught the flu from me...she wants to kick my butt

for giving it to her....i told her she needs to kick our son's butt for giving it to us...he underplayed his fever and conditions so we went ahead and drove up for my birthday...we really wanted to see the grandkids...i told my son i would send him some home made cookies with get even germs on it

i cranked the RPM down

on my E8500 to 500 FSB...but...i tighten up the memory timings that had to be loose to get to 520@8.5= 4420 Mhz...as you saw, i was able to do over 2 hours of Prime 95 but the timings had to be relaxed for that and to run the video benches...with tighter timings, i am very close to those video benches at 4420 mhz.

i am going to put in my 9800 GTX in a little while and boot the baby up and run the four video benches to see what the PCIe2.0 bus specs will do...of course, the card has 512 mb versus 320 mb on the 800GTS...the memory speed is higher on the 9800 so it should make a difference...how much?..don't know!

Ace-a-Rue · #**198** 09-05-2008, 05:57

looks good but the card has beefed up specs compared to the 8800GTS....except for AQ3, the scores increased 3-5K...AQ3 went up about 20K:

more likely it's about the E8500

I'm lucky have had the flu shot the last few years & it seems to work now.

germ warfare is outlawed

, but know where your coming from , still you had a good time

Finally got to 520x8.5 wil post that next took a bit of tweaking

Great looking clocks again, will run my gfx scores soon , but will be a bit behind your 9800 GTX i think.
