Help and handling of the AMD Socket 939 and Socket 754 CPU Pinmod guide

Assistance to the interactive AMD Socket AM2, Socket 939 and S 754 CPU Pinmod guides The introduction … In order to obtain a good CPU overclock result, usually an increase of the Vcore (CPU voltage) is necessary. One should naturally always watch the CPU temperature and improve the cooling if necessary. Since the Vcore cannot be changed however with all Motherboards, or often only very slightly, there’s now the new Pinmod guide for current AMD Socket 939 and Socket 754 … Continue reading Help and handling of the AMD Socket 939 and Socket 754 CPU Pinmod guide →

Interactive AMD Athlon 64 Socket 754 CPU Pinmod guide – the wire trick

After the recently published AMD Socket 939 CPU Pinmod guide, here’s the often requested interactive Pinmod guidance for AMD Socket 754 processors. The interactive guide offers in the version 1.0 the possibility to increase the Vcore (CPU voltage) and can be used both with AMD Athlon 64 and AMD Sempron CPUs. Overclocking of the inexpensive AMD Sempron processors is now possible even if the Motherboard comes without or with small options for the voltage adjustment. Here’s the handling of the … Continue reading Interactive AMD Athlon 64 Socket 754 CPU Pinmod guide – the wire trick →

Foxconn MCP61SM2MA-ERS2H PCIe AMD Socket AM2 mATX Motherboard Review

MicroATX motherboards are unfortunately often less overclockable than ATX boards and are partially a nightmare regarding the overclock options. The Test of the current Foxconn WinFast MCP61SM2MA-ERS2H motherboard will clarify, whether this inexpensive board is an exception. Moreover the Review shows, whether the integrated GF6100 onBoard graphics solution is fast enough for current 3D games and if the board also has enough features to satisfy power users.

Interactive AMD T-Bred and AMD Barton painting guide

Today there’s finally again a new interactive T-Bred and Barton painting guide, with which it’s possible to ‘help’ the processor to another FSB. Mainboards gets the default FSB and the divisor for e.g. AGP, pci, etc. devices by detecting the FSB ID of the CPU. This FSB ID is considered in the new T-Bred and Barton painting guide version 2.3 to fool the mainboard another FSB. This can be partially very important if you like to overclock your system and … Continue reading Interactive AMD T-Bred and AMD Barton painting guide →

Albatron K8X800 Pro (AMD Athlon 64 Socket 754) motherboard Review

The Albatron K8X800 pro has at present a price of approx. of 70 euro (02/2005) and is thereby appropriate in the good centre of the 754 Mainboards. However the equipment and the overclock features aren’t in the centre zone, because large variety at different voltage adjustments are found neither on one of the reviewed SocketA Mainboards, nor on the so far tested Socket 754 Mainboards.
