    MACH2GT problem with temperature probe

    I realised that my Mach2GT display, when my computer is off, is showing lower than normal ambient temperature. It used to be 9 deg C ambient a month ago, no it shows 5 deg C. I'm pretty sure my room is much warmer than that :). My worry is that when turned on, the temperature starts to lower...

    Poor 7800GTX SLI overclock: what can I do?

    It seems like everyone bu me got their 7800GTX core overclocked far beyond 500MHz. I'm currently stuck at 498Mhz (and 1379 for the memory which I am happy with). I have both the cards properly watercooled so what am I doing wrong? I got the Galaxy ones btw and Rivatuner. Will the XFX bios flash...

    Metallic backplate for AMD64 Kit

    Well, yesterday my DFI NF4 SLI blew up along with my brand new enermax 600W PSU. My mach2 GT is fine but I'm not sure about my AMD64 X2 and my two 7800GTX. But when I switched my PSU on, I heard a big BANG at the ATX connector level and the led on the MB went dead. I tried the PSU on another...

    What Mobo for a A64 X2?

    Hi What mobo would you guys recommend for a A64 X2 + Mach2 GT set up? I'm not very keen on changing my 6800 Ultra AGP to a PCIe or to bin my DDR 1Gb OCZ PC4400 for DDR2. Because of the Mach2, the position of the 939 Socket must not be too 'exotic'. Thanks for your advices.

    FX57 or AMD64 X2?

    The FX57 is coming next month, as well as the new AMD dual core. I'm thinking of upgrading my rig, but what would you guys recommend? I know it's a bit early to ask as there's not a lot of tests published on the web yet, but maybe yous got some info I don't? Will the socket of those dual core be...

    A64 4000+ / FX55, good overclockers?

    The first test I read about those two seems to indicate that you can get really poor o/c on air. Obviously, AMD, just like Intel, seems to hit a technological wall with their latest babies. But I am wondering if it would be possible to get something nicer with a prommy/vapo, considering how...

    Insulation: Is it OK if...

    As I found of this forum, following condensation pb with my P4C800E, I'm planning to insulate my mobo with DC4 grease and conformant coating. I know that the seal string should not be in contact with the DC4 grease, but I want to still have an insulation for the components that will be close to...

    Unplugging the GT

    I thought this morning that it is a waste to let my GT plugged all the time although my PC is not on. So I unplugged it this morning and got the scary experience to see my PC starting to boot :eek: on its own... Just had time to switch off the PSU and apparently nothing burned. Why on earth does...

    Should I give up?

    OK, after 5 mountings, double checking the proper contact of the evap against the CPU, starting the PC from the GT without the evap mounted, starting the GT with a screw driver, nothing works. Same old message: Bad BIOS checksum. Impossible to boot. Reflashed a dozen times, nothing. But as...

    HELP! Is my mobo or my CPU dead?

    Fired up my first GT rig tonight. Connect everything, switched on PSU, got the green light on the P4C800 Dlx. Pushed the ON button, got the GT went from standby to running. Temperature went down nicely. At -50C, it switched on the computer. All peripherals went on, fans running, watercooling...

    INTEGRATION OF A MACH2 GT WITH A PC71 (lots of pics!)

    Up until a couple of week ago, I was the happy owner of a full watercooled system running rock stable at 3.5Ghz, which was looking like that: But, then I decided to go for a phase change. I finally received what was probably the last GT available in the UK. After some hesitations, I decided...

    Recommended Thermal paste for a GT

    I was wondering if those thermal paste are really suitable for such low temperatures. What are you using? What's the best? AS3/AS Ceramique/ AS5 ? Others? Ceramique is a lot more thick than AS3 which is almost liquid. Don't know for AS5. Thanks for the feedback.
