      That's a nice system. (I'm a socket-462 fan)

      And the 503+ is a classic board.
      I still have one with a K6-3+ 450 in my possession.

        Socket's 462/A Rocks!

        I'm also a 462 fan!

        And by far this is the only system I play with since ages. There's nothing going on dual's, quad's, extremes etc that gives you half of the excitement as running a nF2 in 2631Mhz at 250 FSB x 10.5 stable using 2222t and CPC on!

        This is my nF2 hobby system:
        DFI LanParty NF2 Ultra-B *Taiwan* + lots of heatsinks
        TT Xaser V Case_Bios Suzuna sx3.8b6
        IQYHA 0351 Stepping
        AXP-M 2600+@2631mhz 1.800vc 10.5*250 sPI 36s
        Aerocool HT-102 / NB+SB ZM Cooled + Fans
        2x512MB Mushkin Redline PC4000 3.20v - Fan+Pencil Mod 11-2-2-2-2-13-15 -
        WD Raptors_SATA Striping 2x 80GB
        Lite-On 20Ha DVD-RW
        ATI Radeon X850XT Vmods@600Mhz_core/1200Mhz
        OCZPowerStream520W Adjustable SLI
        Fortíssimo IV 7.1 Soundcard


        2631Mhz 250*10,5 Stable!

        X850XT Voltmoded A3 result

        And to get passed the 2631Mhz barrier at 250Mhz FSB I recently had my DFI Lanparty recap with Rubycon's and I am also upgrading the system to Liquid Cooling. I plan to get this baby running soon above 2700Mhz.

        Upgrades Inc:
        - ATI X1950XT Agp;
        - Asetek Waterchill Kit KT12-L30;
        - Recaped to Rubycon's.

        Started to work with the case:
        120mm Dual Rad's 1
        120mm Dual Rads 2

        My other "normal" systems are so boring that doesn't even worth mentioning...

          Wow Jor3llBR, all respect to you

          That is an awsome overclock you have there!

          I never got more than 2.3ghz or so from my mobile CPU

            Re: Post your system.......

            Thanks mate!

            It was fun to get that nF2 to run that on AIRCOOLING! That was the limit, I never wanted to push further then 1.8v in air.

            But now with Liquid Cooling and new Caps I plan to get things even higher.

            Do you remember your Mobile Stepping? And whats your Socket A mobo?

                Are those zip ties holding the fan on that heatsink? That's bad ass how they just latched right in there.

                Here's a few more additions to mention since my last post...
                I got my hands on 3 freebies a few months ago, (2) Micron PCs w/Intel 1.1GHz Celery Tualatins on Intel 815 motherboards, 512 MB of PC133 CAS2 Micron SDRAM; and a Compaq AMD 1.1GHz Thunderbird on a FIC/Compaq Uwave VIA KT133 based motherboard, 256 MB of SDRAM.
                They were all dirty as hell! The following pics are the fruits of my tinkering.

                BEFORE:



                AFTER:
                One of them retained the motherboard/cpu combo. But the TGR psu was swapped with a ACBEL/FortronSource 235W whisper quiet unit.
                The HSF was swapped with a Thermaltake Volcano 6 with a 80mm fan grafted to it. Original 92mm case fan swapped for a quieter one out of a Dell workstation.

                Intel 1.1 GHz Tualatin Celeron.
                Intel D815EFV mATX motherboard.
                512 MB PC133 CAS2 Micron SDRAM (maxed-out unfortunately)
                Nvidia Geforce4 MX440 64 MB 8x AGP DVI card.
                Samsung DVD-ROM.
                IDE UDMA-100 HDD slide-out chassis.
                VIA chipset USB 2.0 PCI card.
                Airnet 11b/g Wifi PCI card.
                Win XP sp2.




                AFTER part deux:

                The 2nd got the intel motherboard pulled and the recapped DFI ATX Socket-A motherboard took up residence. I still have some finishing touches before it's operational. (re-attach northbridge heatsink, solder jumpers to case wire harness) Eventually, a recapped Powerman 250W psu will replace the F-yu capped TGR psu.
                I plan to try out Astaro Security Gateway with it.

                DFI AK74-SC VIA KT133 ATX Socket-A.
                AMD 1.0 GHz Thunderbird.
                Thermaltake Volcano 6cu with 80mm fan grafted on.
                340 MB PC133 CAS2 SDRAM.
                Nvidia 16 MB AGP VGA card (unknown).
                20 MB Maxtor.
                Memorex CDR-W, Hitachi DVD-ROM.
                (1) 3Com PCI NIC
                (2) Netgear PCI NIC.




                Here's what I did with the Compaq...
                Stripped it bare of parts and tossed the fugly minitower case, and utilized a spare old In-win mATX case. Combined it with parts from my defunct DFI-AMD media PC in previous post. It's now running as my current media PC in my living room, and double-duty as internet gateway/router.

                Compaq Uwave/FIC VIA KT133 mATX motherboard.
                250W Delta psu.

                512 MB PC133 CAS2 Micron SDRAM.
                30 GB Maxtor (slim-line), 40 GB WD.
                Compaq/Samsung DVD-ROM, and Philips CDR-W.

                  Re: Post your system.......

                  Yes, zip ties. The fins of these 60x80mm heatsinks were spaced just perfectly to retain the ends when slid in place. I placed 4 through the fan screw holes and suspended the fan above the heatsink. Once zipped, the tension held it in place while the bending of the ties pushed against the housing. Very secure.
                  An aside, I discovered the ties isolated fan vibration very well, they act like springs.

                  I installed an 80mm fan similarly to cool my Seagate 400 MB HDD. That fan was a cheap sleeve bearing fan that vibrated when horizontal. But vibrations don't transfer to the case.

                  Zip ties are great!

                    Recap ROCKS!

                    Just received my nF2 system from Topcat the mobo was fine but had a lot of Teapos and OST's that was holding the overclock back.

                    This 'old' nF2 system was running stable at 10,5x250 (2630Mhz) but I knew I could brake the 250Mhz barrier if I had the courage to send a perfectly working motherboard for a complete class A recap (Rubycons mcz).

                    Of course I couldn't do it myself so I sent the mobo to Topcat and as soon as I received this old platform is amazing me so far (look at the ss's I took today the memory bench timings are running close to a Intel Core 2 Duo e6700!!!!!!!)

                    Also after the recap my mobo is running 10oC cooler! On air cooling it used to be at full load 59oC and now it barely reaches 50oC.

                    So Recap mobos DOES indeed worth the buck!

                    Same system posted above is now running at 2666Mhz amazing 10x266Mhz with 2-2-2-2-2t-9 and cpc ON (cmd1)!!! Impressive to run at those tight timings(at least for me that couldn't get passed 250Mhz):

                    2666Mhz 1:1 266x10
                    LOOK AT THE e6700 with DDR2 - I'm almost getting ya!

                    Memtest 2666Mhz

                    New Rubycon's by Topcat


                    My goal now is to keep pushing this above 266Mhz and et it stable at 270Mhz.

                      You have a good stepping I think the ony thing you need is a good modded bios for that NF-7 to get it running @ 2500Mhz.

                      I used to use Tictac's BIOS on my NF-7.

                                  OK, let's BUMP the thread!

                                  Keri's current system:
                                  Mac Pro 1.1
                                  Dual 2.66ghz Dual-core XEON (Core architecture) 1.33ghz bus speed
                                  8GB ECC DDR2-667 in Quad Channel configuration
                                  ATI Radeon HD2600
                                  Apple EFI-based Server board populated with UCC
                                  4 internal SATA2 drives, 2 in RAID config. (MacOS on WD BlackCaviar 1TB)
                                  1 Pioneer DVD-RW DVR111D DVD burner
                                  Delta 980w proprietary Apple PSU crammed full of UCC and a few Taicons
                                  Bluetooth
                                  Firewire 400, 800
                                  50 lbs of solidly constructed Aluminum Case that puts Lian-Li to shame.

                                  Keri's previous system (retired)
                                  e6750 Core2Duo
                                  8GB in Dual-Channel configuration

                                  HighPoint RocketRaid 3120 Hardware RAID card
                                  4 internal SATA2 drives, Vista HP on RAID0
                                  2 Plextor 716SA DVD burners

                                  Lian-Li V1000BW Plus2 aluminum case- (high-quality knockoff of the MacPro/PowerMac G5 case)

                                  Maybe someday I'll put an i7 system in the Lian-Li.
                                  Or get that new 8-core MacPro.
                                  Decisions, decisions...

                                  Have Fun!

                                  Answer- Non-Linear Video Editing! It's practically impossible to buy a "normal" system that can handle NLE properly.
                                  Also, it's fun to shop for all the pieces.

                                          There is a fifth dimension, beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the Twilight Zone.
