dunklerengel Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 in my case it´s not easy to pgrade the cooler because i´m in El Salavador and here all the advanced components are expensive or not present in the merch Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/17328-a-41-ghz-dual-core-at-130-can-it-be-true/page/2/#findComment-115647 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kernalzero Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 I strapped a ZALMAN CNPS7700 with arctic silver onto a P4 630HT on my Asus P5LD2-VM and got virtually no change in temps (with load ~47*c, 44*c idle). As for my experience with water cooling...the cost is high like mentioned but DangerDen is the company to go with. a cooling rig from them including water blocks for CPU, northbridge and GPU will run you in the $300 range and it comes with non-conducting liquid so if you get a leak it won't short your board.

bofors Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Hmm... it looks like the P5LD2-V is not offered in North America. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/17328-a-41-ghz-dual-core-at-130-can-it-be-true/page/2/#findComment-116136 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proteo Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 dunklerengel: Is not really like that. What processor is better for what? For raw power/gaming an AMD64 might be better. For other tasks or computing needs, a double-core CPU can make a difference in performance. I just switched from AMD to Intel since the Intel platform has more similarities to original Macs, and I must say I don't regreat. Everything works great in OS X, and since I won't ever use Windows again, it's perfect for me. But again, it may be different for your needs.

blackmix Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 I buy an Pentium D 805 yesterday and an asus P5P800 SE mobo. Really cheap and works really fine @ 3.2 Ghz using the included fan. I use alot of audio soft and this cpu really speed up the process of render and stuff like that.

PointAndClick Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 About the problems with the P5LD2-VM, I found this tid bit on a review at newegg, thought I would share. "Cons: Overclocking past 10% hidden due to BIOS bug. Updating BIOS is past most maistream users ability. BIOS update not guaranteed to work correctly even if you do it right!!... More » Other Thoughts: In BIOS lock PCIE freq. at 33.3. Move PCI clock to 110,115,or higher while also bumping your FSB speed. My P4630 runs stable @258FSB.(3.87Ghz from 3.0Ghz) Makes tweaking the BIOS fun now!!" I saw this a couple weeks ago and thought it would be a good upgrade to my Sempron, but I prolly wouln't be able to do it untill after July so by that time I don't know if it'd be worth it. For now I guess i'll go with a macbook. BTW dunklerengel, i'm an AMD guy, but I'd say even if you were doing gaming the 805 would prolly be better depending on how high you can get it. If you read the whole article, @ 4GHz, this chip is pretty much on par with the Athlon FX 60. Unless you have the balls to overclock one of those.

osxgus Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 EDIT the issue below was fixed, the bsod was caused because the dvd-rom was plugged into the wrong ide port.. ==================================================================== A friend of mine has recently (yesterday) undertaken a project to setup a box with the 805, an asus P5WD2 Premium, an MSI RX1600XT, a samsung spinpoint 300gb sata2, and OCZ DDR2-800 (2x512mb), for OC'ing. He also bought a Zalman fan.. (the one with the blue led). We first tried to run this with the standard BIOS settings, but the PC would hang after the first winXP setup screen (where it detects SCSI devices etc) and the BSOD pops up and asks to have recent installed harddisks removed etc.. We changed the DRAM settings to 180 for dual 3,6ghz (from 133) and set the memory setting to DDR2-800 (i think) and the same thing happens. Is someone familiar with type of setup? I think the OCZ rams are bugging it up. If anyone knows what should be done to have the rams underclocked or how to correctly set it up for 3,6ghz oc.. any hints are welcome.. maybe just trying it with ubuntu live first will help.. (no probably not.. ;-) )?? When we finally get xp on there; partition magic and 10.4.6/7 are next.. ;-D Cheers! osxG Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/17328-a-41-ghz-dual-core-at-130-can-it-be-true/page/2/#findComment-139411 Share on other sites More sharing options...
