(Kirk to Scotty) "I need more power" (Scotty to Kirk) "Sir, I'm giving you all she's got!"
Hi ya all, just for grinns I completed the "dual power supply" thingie and guess what? I'm not quite sure why but I am now at 594, my CPU temps have dropped as have my BX chip set temps also!
I have been doing an 8 hour burn in at 594 and, believe it or not, I can boot up and access windows at 605! (not stable but before I couldn't even get this far!).
Humm, I just thought about this, my cpu fans and the mini-peltier are still running off the mobo, time to change that!
300 watt brand name PS to mobo (5 volt line went from 4.71 to 4.84+), cpu temps dropped about 5 to 10 Deg F.! and BX dropped at least 5 Deg F.! 450 watt no-name powering up 4 optical drives, 5 case fans, floppy and hard drives.
Of course, I'll keep all informed!
