need help with O/C 2600+ 256fsb
I was wondering is i could get some advice on squeezing the last little bit of juice out of my rig. Its on its final upgrade stage, and all moneys will be put towards a new one. So im looking for cheap power.
I put this rig together a day b4 the 2200+ chips debuted. I was pretty sore that my 2100+ was top of the line for exactly 9 1/2 hours. lol To my understanding, I have the largest cpu that can fit my mobo.
Asus a7v333 (rev 1.01) No raid and whatknot
2600+ w/ 256fsb
CoolerMaster Jet7 (HHC-001 on standby)
7200rpm Maxtor 60gig quietdrive
1g pc2700 (1 Kingston ValueRam/1 Samsung)
gf4 Ti4400
xp2000 Winfast PVR
430w Antec TruPower
Other prefs and lights, fans, etc.
How I abuse my cpu:
Im a gamer. My cpu goes days w/o a restart. Shutdowns are only for matinence. When im not gaming, Seti is always running in the background. My rig also moonlights as my 'Dorm Entertainment Center' TV/VCR/TiVo-esque/stereo/DVD/etc.
It likes this punishment, all the while staying @ 50C. Ambient temp 66F. Full Load.
I want to bump the speed up a bit. Just to say its OC'd. Also i want to learn. Whats do you guys think?
Also. Heat is an issue. I use AS3, and plenty of fans. I will probably have to swap to the HHC-001 in the summer. Jet7 looks cool and all, but there is about 2-3 deg C difference.
