was a b-grade but new

worse thing is this chip is guaranteed to 3.9Ghz on air.

lol...caged conroe eh?

easyrider · 26 Jun 2006 at 19:15

maddness.

tired overclocking that conroe yet?
add me to msn too

gam3r · 26 Jun 2006 at 19:22

madness, look what i have found for you

Just solder 1K Vr to pin28 and pin31.
Lower resistance = higher vcore

maddness · 26 Jun 2006 at 19:26

lol thanks but a bit extreme for me, im not going to keep this board long,
i probably slip and solder the cpu on the board lol

HighlandeR · 26 Jun 2006 at 19:28

I'm going to wait till I come back from holiday at the end of August before I upgrade to Conroe, will there be more options then and will they be more available by then?

fenderbass86 · 26 Jun 2006 at 19:53

I think the reason people are pre-ordering conroe's now is because the supplies may be thin after release. There's great demand for these after all.

Of course, more motherboards will be around so its a wise thing to do. By then its price might have also dropped and the price on DDR2 mem

fenderbass86 · 26 Jun 2006 at 19:55

Or were you talking about motherboards?

maddness · 26 Jun 2006 at 20:19
