Forum Game: What do you really know about video games?

[bulwark]

Probably air cooling. The 2.4C was an OC'ing king a few years back.

Yuppers...nothing but a stock CPU fan and some thermal paste stands between my CPU working and going ka-boom!

annd no I haven't played F.E.A.R lol. I'm not big on FPS...about the only time I play FPS is when the theme suits me.

[werty316]

What?!?! you haven't played F.E.A.R.? I guess if you don't like the genre you won't like the game but it is a great game. Everyone has their gaming favs.

[Johnie]

Yes I know that werty316 (about kings and castles...:D ), but I think that 3Ghz is the upper limit for those CPU's...at least on air...or maybe I am wrong?

And thats why I asked....cause I wanted to know what fans does he use and if the system is totally stable and so on...


EDIT : So you are on STOCK fan??? Just dont burn anything there ok? And please do try F.E.A.R....because it's totally true what werty316 said above....(wont repeat it but its 100% true)... )

[werty316]

... and its only better if you play in the dark

bulwark could probaby to to 3.2GHz or a bit more even.

[Kougar]

Yeah, 2.40c Northwoods were usually reaching 3 to 3.2ghz on air, without a major need for more exotic cooling.

Planning on giving mine another shot as I found a guide using a vanilla IS7, and they got a retail Northwood 2.66ghz to reach 3.7ghz, and a 3.0ghz retail Northwood to reach 3.8ghz. I thought those FSBs speeds were beyond the IS7's ability, but apparently not...

[Johnie]

Nice to hear that....but how about 2.4B Northwoods? B not C!? Probably not as good overclockers as C series...but still...with 2.4b CPU...probably some 3Ghz's would be possible too...or not?

Wow, it seems the last few posts are a bit off-topic. I thought I was in a wrong thread.

BTW confirmative dabone. Looks like you are the only one who played this great game?!

[Kougar]

Actually, 2.40Bs should overclock much better! That's because the "B" has a 533FSB, and the "C" has a 800mhz FSB... The lower FSB on the "B" chip means it also has a higher CPU multiplier. So not only do you have plenty of FSB headroom, but you have a higher multiplier to work with as well!

That is why the Pentium D 805 is everyone's favorite $125 dual core solution, it has the exact same setup. 533mhz FSB with a huge 20x multiplier, it can go right on up to 4ghz before things start getting out of hand... If Intel releases a Pentium D "905" to clear Presler inventory like they are doing with the 805 Smithfeilds now, you could expect to get beyond 4.5ghz still with better power/thermals. Intel already plans to phase out the Preslars, and they're currently suffering from a large oversupply but little demand, so it is possible.

Wow, it seems the last few posts are a bit off-topic. I thought I was in a wrong thread.

Sorry, I'd posted before yours showed up... I'll desist And I'd never seen that game before in my life...

[pym]

Guys, please, this is not the thread fot these discussions...

Tank gave us the riddle, Dabone answered correctly and it is his turn.
I will update the score board and we aill wait for Dabone's riddle.

[Tank]

Time's up Dabone!
Here's my new riddle:

[Johnie]

No idea...some 1990 game for sure...

[Tank]

Actually it's 1998 PC arcade game and I just found out it was ported to PSP and GBA too.
HINT: The main character is searching for his pet in alternate reality.

[dabone]

Is it Heart of Darkness?

[Tank]

Yes it is. Your turn!

[dabone]

What is the name of this game?
