Hopefully this can be as good as it was before it was deleted. If not better!

3991vhtes · Dec 3, 2007

Eh, I guess no one has anymore interest in the Socket A club

newtekie1 · Dec 3, 2007

I'll join the Socket A club. I still have socket A machines. 2 Athlon XP 2900+ and 2 Sempron 2600+ and an Athlon 3000+.

hat · Dec 3, 2007

My dad's machine is socket A.

Ketxxx · Dec 3, 2007

I owned me several 462 systems. This was my best one;

XP-M @ 2.55GHz
2x512MB PC3200
Abit AN7
SonicFury 5.1
9800Pro

I still miss it.

3991vhtes · Dec 3, 2007

What was the PR Rating on the XP-M?

I had my Athlon XP-M 2600+ Barton @ 3.19GHz on an Abit AN7. 266*12

Thermo accidently deleted it I guess....

I heard the basiq power supplys are junky..

panchoman · Dec 3, 2007

i think the basiq is one of those series from antec, (like the smartpower series) for antec, you want earthwatts, neohe, quattros

[I.R.A]_FBi · Dec 3, 2007

on a tight tight budget and i neded a psu, recommendations?

3991vhtes · Dec 3, 2007

I like the SmartPower Series. I've used a recalled version for months and it still works

(According to my friend who borrowed it and never returned it)

3991vhtes · Dec 3, 2007

Oh noes. I was just overclocking, and Set the VCore to 2.3volts, and the board doesn't POST anymore :cry:

I've tried clearing CMOS, but that doesn't do me any good...

Abit AN7
Athlon XP-M 2600+
256MB PC2700
SAPPHIRE Radeon 9600pro

panchoman · Dec 3, 2007

ouchy... open up the system and check the chip for obvious signs of it getting fried

newtekie1 · Dec 3, 2007

I've had mixed dealings with the Smartpower series. I was using an Antec case that came with the Smartpower 350w for my basic machine I would build for people, I have had a few fail, so I wouldn't recommend them, but I wouldn't completely avoid them if needed. I hear the Basiq series is even worse than the Smartpower series though.

For a cheap 350w power supply I would go with an FSP power supply.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817104901

That is not only cheaper, but has better Amps on the 12v rails. FSP/Fortron make very dependable power supplies.

panchoman · Dec 3, 2007

fsp makes great psu's, smart powers.. stay away from, if basiqs are like smartpowers, then STAY AWAY!!!

3991vhtes · Dec 3, 2007

Ok well this isn't a Power supply thread....

Plz change topic..

panchoman · Dec 3, 2007

haha true, transfer this either to the psu guide or to the other psu thread that i just came from lol

so sorry for the loss man

JrRacinFan · Dec 3, 2007

No thermal compound!!! Not good .....

3991vhtes · Dec 4, 2007

I'll have to see if the chip is still good. Good thing its a mobile CPU, so I can test it in a laptop later tonight

I was running Ceramique, but I changed heatsinks, and wiped it all off and I didn't have any laying around. :banghead:

panchoman · Dec 4, 2007

chances are, if your core changed color, its fried
oh btw:http://youtube.com/watch?v=NxNUK3U73SI
