Blue Orb II & Asrock K8SLI-eSATA2 & a Turion

[CaDLoN]

Didnt have a clue as to weather the CPU would work in the board i bought or weather the monster of a heatsink would fit! but i bought it all anyway

i'm glad to say that it all fits & works together

The billy bonus bit is that because of where the RAM & northbridge are situated the ThermalTake Blue Orb II cools them at the same time too

The bad news is i dont think i can remove the RAM without taking the heatsink off (allthough you can't see it, it is under the top part of the heatsink)

Yea, i just kept on screwing until i could screw no further

It's an ML-30 so 1.6GHz stock and it runs nice and stable @ 265x8 (2.12GHz). temps are 28~29 idle and creep up to 35 full full load. 1M SuperPI run only gets it to 32c. With that monster heatsink the temps drop back super rapidy

I'm a bit of a newb to all this AMD OCing so getting my head around billions of RAM timings & HTT things im getting there slowly, but... the swiftech watercooling gear should be turning up monday more complications

unfortunatly the max multiplier is 8

but upto 270 now

bit of a daft question, but whats the easiest way to find out the HTT stuff in windows?

I'm ammasing a nice collection of heatsinks at the momen, gotta CAK38 (Old skool Skt A), Hyper 6, XP90 & blue orb II

It's quite Quiet

It constantly spins @ 1600~1650 rpm doesnt vary at all.
It's a pleasent soft air moving noise, not a delta whine

The cooler on my 7600GT drowns it out!

The HTT doent display! i get FSB instead, might be the same!
