going 939 crazy here.........
 
After bricking the bios on my Ultra-D I have been doing some shopping. I just bought an SLI-DR Expert with everything...it looks brand new. I bought an Ultra-D in the same condition last night, but for very cheap. I have an SLI-DR sitting at the PO right now which was also pretty cheap and shipped ultra fast.

:blush:I've also managed to somehow buy 3 other Ultra-Ds. I'll sell 2 of them to make back the money spent on the Expert.

Last night I found 4 x 256MB Geil PC4000 cas2 for $1.25 at the bay. They are very fast...handpicked samsung TCCD/ brainpower pcb.

My Opteron 154 which I hope is a top notch chip, will get here tomorrow.:)

Working on some other good stuff too. :cool3:

I figure with the 3 best overclocking 939 motherboards, a few good chips, a handful of pointers, and some determination, I should be able to break some records.

I'm not crazy, am I?:laughing: EDIT: maybe I should have said THIS doesn't make me crazy, does it?

Um, we don't use the "crazy" word, we'll just say you're "Certified" :P

You'll find that the Expert board has very limited modded bios choices and actually performs worse (quirkier) than a regular Ultra D. I'd sell that one for a premium. If you want better than the Ultra D you need to find a Venus board.
Good luck with your 939 adventures. I'm actually working 939's right now for the Dec. challange. Between myself and Opty, we're keeping CP at #1 for now in said challange. I hope to maintain that.

Thanks for the advice :thumbsup:.

Hopefully between myself, my new Opty that just got dropped off, the FX-55, and the SLI-DR with the Gold VX I can have some very nice results by the end of the day.

Temperatures are dropping.....time to have some fun.

I'm definitely down with classic platforms:).........but I'm OCA all the way, you guys took me in off the streets of cyberspace and make me feel right at home. I now have a purpose in life again. ;)

UPDATE#1: I'm pleased to announce that the SLI-DR works fine, and the FX-55 too. Time to go set that shit up outside where it's COLD. :cool3:

I'll be helping out as well in my own way. :blush:
Maybe I'll do alright but with the luck I've been having lately, I'm not assuming anything yet.

Sorry to hear the new RAM is crap NY but that's how it goes sometimes.
As long as it's not throwing errors, it's still good for something but if you really don't want it, I need a few spare sticks for everyday (Non-OC'ing) useage.
