I loved my first 4200. Managed 3GHz on air. Back when I was first learning how to OC better than my peers. Pushed for 3.1 and *crash* and would never go past 2.7ish after that. *sigh

This is what I am thinking. Perhaps it was just a quirk of the Tyan though I don't see how/why as even my SK8N will run old Sledgehammers is D.C.

IDK ny_driver but you seem fairly new to the game so perhaps it is simply user error on your part. Forgive me if I am being presumptuous.

LOL funny he put SLI in quotes.


Funnier still is pronouncing it. SLY. Which is old school speak for a manly man that "prefers the company of men" (EDIT: I originally put light in loafers, but that was totally wrong lol)

:blush: I damaged the IMC removing the IHS. Won't post on any board in DC configuration.

Will the smaller L2 of the 4200+ hurt me in benchmarks vs a 1MB L2 per core chip?

Mr.Scott 12-04-2010 04:32 AM

Probably. You're running a maimed chip is most definitely not going to help your cause.

I wish I could find a good Toledo for a decent price;).

I sold my Opty 180s...they weren't as good as the 170 though.

Should be able to find one of a decent model and stepping if you shop around. Opty's are more expensive on average but a higher model X2 can be expensive as well.

Check the "For Sale" sections of whatever forums you frequent and you'll probrably run across a good deal.

BTW, I'm Kryton. :thumbsup:

ny_driver 12-04-2010 03:15 PM

Yeah maybe I'll find one.

It's a real shame I damaged the 170s IMC because that thing cranks pretty good. Haven't even tried it on the Ultra yet.

Good to see you. :thumbsup:

Eh - Don't sweat it.

I'm sure you've done worse in your time. :D
