The New AMD Building Thread

Take it bake? Lol, I shouldn't criticise people's spelling but that one made me laugh...

 

Now wait a minute!! It was spelled correctly but way out of context. Oh and you might check that spelling on criticize.

UK spelling, perfectly acceptible

 

Yeh I knew that... ROFL. But you have to admit when it comes up on a "English" dictionary as NOT the main spelling (in the states that is) it's quite humorous. Of course the UK spells theatre and centre and all that wrong too... hehehe.

L@@KS like some fun going on with these NEW AMD builds around here. I think my parents NEED a new computer... Just talked to the old man and he said he might consider that as his 5+ year old Dell is not like it used to be. I've even added memory and "cleaned" it out to make it more user friendly.

I'd love to have a go, but right now I can't afford even to keep my own system running, let alone build experiment machines...

ChrisC586,
I think something went wrong with your Image Shack Images. I use the thumbnails, the second one down and it seems to work OK. Yours are too small to read! Here's mine since I wiped everything clean.

CPU


Motherboard


Memory


I think this is what yours is at at the moment. I stopped testing last night at 3.0GHz, and I'm going to continue today, now that I have a completely fresh install on the Seagate, so it's now much quieter than with the DeathStar. Sandra now works, but I can't get AMD Overdrive to see the CPU?? It's a work in progress! LOL!!
I had a bad data cable to my ODDs that caused all sorts of problems. It seems one of my Round IDE cables bit the dust!

Stay Tuned,
Russ

 

A little advice to those still using imageshack. When you copy an imageshack link it contains more than just a link to the image, it also contains a redirect to imageshacks site. YOu remove the redirect by removing everything before the and it will link. Ergo! Drop the URL tags.

 

Sophocles,
It does that on mine because I want the click to open feature, so I save it as a thumbnail and use less real estate on the thread. It also keeps the screen from blowing up with a larger pic!

Russ

 

A redirect to imageshack saves nothing in terms of processes and the redirect is more annoying than the image. What we get when we click on your thumbnail is a redirect to imageshack and a plain jane background. All of imageshack's image links contain tags of some sort. I personally find it annoying to click on an image to see it full sized only to be redirected to another site such as imageshack. It's just a form of ad ware.

 

Sophocles is there a way to show a thumbnail without it. I know I can use the direct link, but the thumbnail saves problems with the pic being too large!

Russ

 

Apologize first time using image shack and I can't even read them. I'll figure it out and repost.Chris

 

Chris,
For a picture that size, just use the Direct link at the bottom, sixth one down. It posts highlighted text to a direct link and the pic opens when you click the link!

Hi All!. I am new to this thread. Apparently there is a whole section of AD I have been oblivious to - my favorite topic - computers! I was wondering if anyone has the Phenom II 940? I am getting one this week and am curious as to the OC potential and settings people are using. Thanks.

 

Could use a little HELP!!
I've got a dual IDE Controler card ( ULTRA 100TV2 ) my DVD Drives continue to lock up my Computer through this card.
So I need another Card W/2 IDE Outlets, any suggestions

 

I've used these before, and they seem to do the job with a minimum of fuss!

Want To Know What AMD Is Up To? They now have 5 Quad Phenom IIs and 2 Triple Phenom IIs. 5 are AM3s!

It appears that AM3 is officially here! They have both memory controllers on chip so they also work in AM2+ with DDR2 Memory!

 

me myself...I got a few laying around...I usally go to micro center to pick up mine like this one below for $12.79 + taxs they even come in the PCI Express 2.0 x16 types also to fit in that slot
