Good Guide Writers Required.

[JN]

Guys,

I'm looking for some good guide writers, to write medium sized articles on the following things:

* Installing a Peltier. - 20 reps - In progress

* Installing your own water cooling system (could be joined with above). - 20 reps

* List of best motherboards for Socket A/478/775/754/939 - 10 reps

The guides need to be technically correct, look pretty, have pictures.

On completion of the guide, and acceptance by mods, you will be awarded the number of rep points displayed at the end of the articles above.

Remember: Rep points are not just a number by your name. There will soon be a competition up to win cash/hardware for the person with the highest number of rep points.

Please post what guide you would like to write. You will then be given 1 week to complete the guide before it is re-assigned to someone else.

Hmmm, I might be interested in the shopping list for the watercooling. As thats what I'm looking at for my system in the making, the AMD64 hehe. I dunno if I can do the H2O installation in the word count allowed. Are the images still set at 5? Is there any leverage here for a guide, I could make a cracking one with a little more room to move.

The images are still set to 5, but please see my thread in the 'News & Info' section about posting more than 5 images (of any size) on :anisx:

Its just as easy as uploading them here...honestly. It just saves us a bit of money which in turn allows us to spend it on better prizes for you lot

Yep ok, count me in I use photo bucket which is free also. But when I link to the images it still cans me at 5.

When i catch some time i will wirte tutorials about overclocking memory, overclocking AMD, guide thru SMP, networking and sharing computers, about dvd ram, and personally my favorite how to boot system from usb flash memory, but time is main problem for now with help of God i intent to write every week one sticky guide

Tightening memory timing has been removed.

Guide completed by me. Although, it would be nice to see if the guide can be used by AMD peeps.

Well if I ever get my system back up and running 100% then I'll be doing the OC'ing an Athlon XP guide. IF I EVER get my system up and running. I'm beginning to hate this MSI board - won't accept any memory that is DDR400, unless I underclock it to 166FSB. My CPU is fine, which is why I can't understand it.

Keep getting: IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL - damn BSOD

Thats not good. Can't u RMA it?

hmmm...I could do the XP overclocking, and I could do the best AMD mobos...but can I be arsed?

I'll kiss your ass......

That's the next step - very frustrating.

I tried sending the RAM back for testing but they stress tested it and played some games for over four hours and it was fine.

I think I'll get a via chipset cause I know that my old mobo with a via chipset worked fine.

Sorry to hijack...hey kempez815

Have you got the latest bios update for your mobo. I had a mates AMD system that was doing the same thing until I flashed the bios to the latest version. Just an idea!!

The board ships with the latest B40 BIOS for this motherboard.

I've fiddles around with timings, voltage and all sorts, trying to get the RAM to work properley. Been on MSI forums for advice but none of the settings seemed to work.

I only get the IRQ BSOD when I try to use some generic RAM with this board.

When I use my Crucial PC3200 DDR400 (2 x 512mb modules) with the board, it just doesn't like it at all. Windows boots up but gets various errors only when I play games like Farcry/HL2/CS:S

The most common one I get is "Program referenced memory at XXXX. System could not find memory at XXXX"

Damn pile of S**T!

 

[JN]

I've seen that error a few times in the past, but i think its a bit of a generic one.

Last time i saw it was when i tried to Oc to 4.6ghz on my chip...didnt like it much at all.

Is your processor known working good?

 

[PV5150]

One more thing before I go to bed...is that crucial ram on the compatability list for the board? The list can be found at the MSI site.

Used it in my old system with the old motherboard and it worked fine. I can use the RAM at 166Mhz FSB so its a bit weird.

I will RMA this board and try it again in the old one and see if that works. Mind you, that'll mean re-installing windows again and boy can I not be arsed to do that. :cussing:

 

[NickS]

I posted one of my nVidia guides over in nVidia Overclocking .

 

[FarFarAway]

I posted a guide to buying/installing a HSF for Athlon XP's over in normal cooling!
