The 1700 jiuhb runs stock at 133 so right now it is under oced...if you want to oc it you just have to raise yoru fsb higher then 133 but thats a dif story...but you should atleast be running your fsb at 133.

Your FSB should be set at 133 with a multi of 11 for that chip.

By the way, I like your AOpen HX08. What are you planning to do with it?

no plans yet for it, i know im redoing the front bezel but thats about it.

but are the temps ok that is using the mobo sensor. and how hot is ok to run that cpu, so say i raise it to 133 and the temps spike to 50*C and i heard that the mobo sensor can be way off.

and yes that is a 9500 in there its a connect3d 128 meg, its got the L shaped ram and a red pcb like you guys told me to get. and only 138 dollars. so im cool with it.

The temp wont jump to 50 C...Max temp on amd chips I believe is around 60*C so will be just fine.

Well, I know if I ever need a place to stay, that I can always move inside your case, because it is frickin' huge! Make the upper half a beer fridge, that way you get tasty beverages and low CPU temps

It's an AOpen case. Been around the scene forever. Beautiful case for modding ventures or for a second home.

the grafics card is gettin so fricken hot, god the whole case is warmer just because of it, defenently putting a side intake over it when i cut up the door.

also im sure most of you will love my nice speaker system i just instaled after i blew my altecs. and its mono.

sorry for bringing this one from the grave but i didnt want to start a new one. so anyways, i have a plan for the side window tell me what you think. the green is about the color i want to paint it and the black is where its going to be cut with green ccs.

and a question about overclocking, ive never done it and am intrerested to try. could i do it with my sk-7 and smartfan, the temps are around 36-38c. what would i want to stay under? and how would i go about it? i have an epox 8rda+, i want to set the settings for expert and then start to bump up the fsb until what happens? it dosent boot? and when it doesnt boot what do i do reset the cmos and try again? and cant i curropt my bios like that or is that only under a really high oc? ive been reading all the threads about this so i kinda have an idea on what to do but help a noob out please. thnkx

also the post code stays at ff after its done loading, is that ok?

and btw heres the window pic

Nice design...take you time and it'll turn out schweet...

As for overclocking, all you need to do is bump up your FSB...little by little...you can do that through the BIOS on your motherboard. Some Mobo's have windows utilities that can do that too (i.e. MSI) but I like to stick with the BIOS (old skool I guess... )

If your multiplier is unlocked, then there's a whole host of other overclocking options too.

ya i already experimented with ocing a bit, i got it to boot into windowz at 2.01 ghz but it crashed after i was in ps for a couple hours. btw the mobo unlocked the mult. and i orderd some as3 yesterday so i can stop using this cheap silicone crap. temps stay around 34-36*C under load (folding)
