Hello,

I have just been looking at the bundles in the OCUK shop

This one caught my eye.

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Online_Catalogue_Athlon_64___X2_Bundles_432.html

ID: BU-047-OK

Is it good value for money ?
Also does the CPU come with a heatsink/fan and the fitting to attach the heatsink/fan to the board ?

Thanks for the help in advance.

Does this motherboard need an extra 4pin power lead? If so, is that plugged in?

yeh its in, i get to boot up normal or safe. then no matter wch i choose it reboots

v2^ · 7 Jun 2006 at 21:54

Unsure but its only been running for 30 secs before the reboot, the only screen i can get up when trying to get in bios is where to boot from floppy or hdd

v2^ · 7 Jun 2006 at 22:00

Might sound dumb but i thought the key to get in bios was delete or f5 but delete does nothing and f5 just gives me the option of schoosing the hdd or floppy

Hmm delete usually is the key to get into the BIOS but I think it might be F2 with asrocks, try that

Thanks it was f2.

The cpu is holding steady at 33oc

Could it be my ram only running at 333mh and not 400 ?

v2^ · 7 Jun 2006 at 22:17

On the VCORE reading im seeing

3.30 = 3.435
5.00 = 5.295
12.00 = 12.655

Is this normal ?

v2^ · 7 Jun 2006 at 22:25

Yeh sorry vcore is at 1.451

I will try the cmos now

v2^ · 7 Jun 2006 at 22:30

Nope does the same after i clear the cmos

Hmm this is very odd. Will it stay put in the BIOS for 1 min or so?

v2^ · 7 Jun 2006 at 22:39

In bios it shows Athlon 64 3000+ = Processor Speed 1800mhz this aint correct is it ?
