Combined with the amazing ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe motherboard, we found the Athlon 64 3800+ could reach quite incredible frequencies. Next in line for testing was the more affordable Athlon 64 3000+ that we are testing today. Without wasting too much time in dream land I fired up my web browser, headed over to a local supplier and quickly made the purchase, which worked out to be just $90. We say a 900MHz overclock out of stock cooling is not too shabby. Read on for more details as we experiment with the Athlon 64 3000+ Socket AM2.AMD Athlon 64 3000+ (AM2) Overclocking @ Tech Spot http://www.pureoverclock.com//story.php?id=893 The Asetek Vapochill Dress up kit is a nice addition to the original aluminum look, especially if you have a different colored case. The replacement panels also mean that you can get new ones in case you have damaged yours by accident. The anodized color on these panels is fairly thin, so be careful when your trying to mount them.Vapochill Lightspeed Dress-up Kit @ BoPC http://www.pureoverclock.com//story.php?id=892 It's the midrange that the most sales will be made in, and where we will focus our attention on today. Asus' latest release in this field is the EN7900GT TOP, based on the NVIDIA 7900GT GPU. As we alluded to earlier, the 7900GT is an updated version of the 7800GTX, formerly NVIDIA's high-end GPU but with a smaller die size and, as result, higher clock speeds. However, the architecture really hasn't changed otherwise. Are some higher speeds and an updated bundle worth a new purchase?

This is Foxconn's first go at the 975 chipset and I feel for the entry level enthusiast it is a solid choice, there's no doubt that future Foxconn boards based on this chipset will pick up where this one left off.

If you go onto EVGA's message boards, it is clear that they care about the customer. Lifetime Warranty, 24/7 Toll free technical support phone- line, and a 90-day Step-Up program add up to make EVGA the choice for NVIDIA products. That and being the fastest SLI setup available can go a long way. A set of overclocked 7900GTX cards by EVGA is about as fast as it can get for out of the box performance.EVGA e-GeForce 7900GTX 512MB @ Motherboards http://www.pureoverclock.com//story.php?id=881 Snip: I’m generally of the opinion that you get what you pay for. I’ve seen too many budget products that are supposed to be “as good as the big brands” but very rarely are. This is never more true than in the television market – how can that TV stuck on the end of an aisle at Tesco be so cheap? Because it’s not very good, that’s how. So when I decided to round up a few budget 32in high definition televisions, I wasn’t holding out much hope as far as quality goes. One thing’s for sure though, this Evesham is head and shoulders above the other two TVs in this feature.Budget HDTV Roundup @ Trusted Reviews http://www.pureoverclock.com//story.php?id=880 Snip: If you're in the market for one of the best DDR2 memory kits that money can currently buy, you should put this Corsair Twin2X2048-8500C5 on your short list.

The M2N32-SLI Deluxe was fantastically stable, a great overclocker and is generally well laid out, too. Both the Foxconn and ASUS boards were superb for tweakers and novices alike due to the layered nature of the BIOS. However, the ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe was a much better overclocker than the Foxconn C51XEM2AAAsus M2N32-SLI Deluxe Wifi @ Bit-tech http://www.pureoverclock.com//story.php?id=878 Snip: Back in the day, Abit made arguably the best enthusiast-oriented motherboards around. Abit boards were sought after for their extra onboard peripherals and overclocking-friendly BIOSes. Performance wasn't too shabby either, but the competition adapted quickly. Soon others were offering mobos with similar features and overclocking options, although continued innovation allowed Abit to retain its BIOS crown.Then, just a couple of years ago, Abit became embroiled in financial difficulties that would drag on and eventually see the company purchased by USI. Abit lost a lot of ground during that time, but with USI's backing, the company is now focusing almost exclusively on motherboards in an attempt to regain its former glory.Looking back, the timeline of Abit's decline nearly matches the rise of DFI. For years, DFI was best known for OEM and industrial products, but recently it's built a series of exceptional enthusiast-oriented LANParty boards. Those boards have offered unique designs, plenty of BIOS options, and a penchant for running at higher-than-stock speeds that's made them particularly popular among overclockers.With some calling DFI the new Abit, we thought it only fitting to pit these two companies' latest Athlon 64 motherboards against each other head to head. Can the LANParty UT CFX3200-DR continue DFI's streak of killer Athlon 64 mobos, or will Abit's AT8 32X rise like a Phoenix to retake the enthusiast motherboard crown? Read on to find out.

Rated in a dual channel configuration at 667 MHz with default timings of 3-3-3-12, the memory comes in a kit of two 1024MB modules.

In fact, five different mounting hole styles are supported! Unlike the ZM80D-HP which used heatpipes and front and rear mounted aluminum cooling fins, the Zalman VF900-Cu occupies space on the front of the videocard only. Measuring about 96mm in diameter, the VF900-Cu is entirely constructed of copper components, with two 5mm diameter heatpipes looping around the outside of its many thin cooling fins.Zalman VF900-Cu Videocard Heatsink @ FrostyTech http://www.pureoverclock.com//story.php?id=872 Snip: HotHardware evaluate the performance of Kingston’s HyperX DDR2-800 2GB Memory Kit.  They test this memory on both AMD and Intel platforms, and assess its overclockability as well.  Head on over and take a look…Kingston HyperX DDR2-800 2GB Memory Kit @ HotHardware http://www.pureoverclock.com//story.php?id=871 Snip: Much of my time over the past month has been spent testing the new AM2 Athlon64 and Sempron processors from AMD. During this time I have not only tested these new processors, but also the supporting motherboards and chipsets. Initial testing was done on an nForce 570 Ultra motherboard using DDR2-800 memory and the results were somewhat disappointing. Although the processor performance did seem quite good, the gaming results were far from impressive as all the tests favored the older 939-pin platform. It was not until I tested the much more expensive nForce 590 SLI chipset that I began to see the AM2 platform shine. The nForce 590 SLI delivered everything the nForce 570 Ultra was lacking and that was mostly performance! The nForce 570 Ultra feature set was most impressive and thankfully the nForce 590 SLI only gets better. Through testing I also discovered that the nForce 590 SLI seems to be a much better overclocker than the nForce 570 Ultra which is surprising. Today we will be reviewing the ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe mainboard that features the nForce 590 SLI chipset, which is designed for the "enthusiast" segment. As you would expect from the world's most recognized motherboard manufacturer, the M2N32-SLI Deluxe is already making a name for itself as the best AM2 motherboard available thus far, and yes, it features many of the successful design elements of the widely regarded ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe.ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe motherboard @ Tech Spot
