This is another value for money graphic card. It was able to perform almost on par with the 8800GT(G92) 512MB graphic cards which have better features. By tweaking the graphic card abit it was able to perform as good as some high end card. Even though there it looks like it is manufactured by Manli but it still the nVIDIA 9600GT reference card. So it is still the nVIDIA OEM build. Overall i was able to overclock this graphic cards to Core:760mhz, Shader:1900mhz, Memory:1120mhz and with this configuration it runs smoothly.

This is the ram i’ve selected. OCZ provides warranty even you overclock the ram but only till 2.3v vDimm. This ram will preform faster when you paired it with the SLI mobo. I still haven’t try it cause i was still waiting for other stuff to arrive. This is a value for money performance ram. It cost cheaper then rival Crucial Ballistix and perform almost on par with it.

As stated in the title, i will be using this Abit mobo to pair it with my AMD X2 6400+ Black Edition. This mobo is built with nVIDIA 590SLi MCP. There is two version of this motherboard one is the ordinary AN9 32X SLI and another one is the AN9 32X SLI Fatality. I will be using the AN9 32X SLI since there were no diffrences between this 2 mobo. The only different is the PCB color and bundle with 2 40mm fan. Below is the picture of the mobo
Features:
CPU
- Supports Socket AM2 Processor with 2GHz system bus using Hyper Transportâ„¢ Technology
- Supports AMD CPU Cool ‘n’ Quiet Technology
Chipset
- NVIDIA nForce SPP 190/nForce 590 SLI MCP
Memory
- 4 X 240-pin DIMM sockets support max. memory capacity 8GB
- Supports Dual channel DDR2 800/667/533 Un-buffered ECC / Non-ECC memory
Graphics

Expansion Slots
- 2 x PCI-E X16, 2 x PCI-E X1, 1 x PCI
Internal I/O
- 1 x Floppy Port supports up to 2.88MB
- 1 x Ultra DMA 133/100/66/33 IDE Connector
- 3 x USB2.0 header (support 6 ports)
- 2 x IEEE1394 header
- 7 x SATA 3Gb/s connector
- 1 x AudioMAXâ„¢ slot
Back Panel I/O

abit Engineered
- abit Guru Technology
- abit Silent OTESâ„¢ Technology (Patent No. M273189)
- Low ESR and high ripple conductive polymer aluminum solid capacitor
- 100% Japanese Capacitors
As we can see that this mobo is build with a heat pipe which Abit called it as the Silent Otes. There is one problem with this mobo which is the PWM always overheat when the processor draw too much power. To overcome this problem, i have removed the thermal pad which is placed below the all the heat sink and replaced it with Tuniq TX-2 Thermal Compound and place 1x Evercool 40mm fan and 1x Evercool 60mm fan to cool it down. Overall this board is still the choice of mine and it has a socal “High Profile Motherboard”

Ok… today i m goin to write an overclocking attemp by me. Using AMD Athlon X2 6400+ Black Edition. The stock clock speed for this processor is 3.2GHz. This processor is built with 90nm SOI technology with 125w power rating and it’s a Windsor core with F3 stepping and it’s a Socket AM2 processor. My target goal to clock isn’t much as we can see this processor clock speed is already at the limit of the Windsor technology. As this is the limitation my target is clock the processor to 3.6GHz with air cooled. As all we overclockers know that overclocking the AM2 processor is far more challenging comparing to those intel overclocking. And overclocking need a very nice and good design motherboard and some good RAM which we can always clock on higher speed and pump more vDimm on to it. Below i state the hardware which i will be using to run the system. I have choose several hardware which have reputation on overclocking. First of all we are goin to look into this motherboard. The motherboard is quite important to supply good clean power to the processor but overclocking an AMD processor is different thing cause the memory controller is built inside the processor. I have choose the Abit AN9 32X SLi motherboard which the motherboard is built with the nVIDIA 590SLi MCP which is very overclockable, OCZ SLI Ready RAM which i can pump in more vDimm to overclock, nVIDIA 9600GT which i will be overclocking on it with software, and not to forget the most important thing of all which is the PSU that i need to power up the system and supply enough juices for the overclocking purposes, and there will be an after market cooler by Cooler Master which is the Cooler Master GeminII. Other stuff like DVD-ROM, Hard Disk Drives are standard. Up next i will be explaining the hardware which i choose.

Wow… So fast it’s already year 2008… can’t blief it.. It was new year eve and we went to The Curve to celebrate… We arrive there at about 9 pm and i haven’t take my dinner… And we went shopping 4 awhile… Then my gf bought 2 pair of shoes from Vincci… After shopping I was so hungry and was looking for food… Almost all the place are full of people… Been looking and booking places all around The Curve and Ikano…. After almost half an hour of food hunting finally we found a place @ T.G.I Friday… I get a new year 3 course meal over that place… I was very pack inside there… Well my gf never took any of the food cause she was still full with the dinner she ate.. After eating before we leave T.G.I… We get 2 party pack from them… It was quite nice… 
This is one of the things inside the party pack… We took few pics.. This is the best and cute.. hahaha… We waited along at the Ikano drop off place… there were full of people… everyone is waiting for the countdown
 Pack was all over the place… We can’t even get a nice spot to see the fireworks… It was almost 12 and suddenly we heard some fireworks sound…. But there were nothing in the sky… Everyone is so dissapointed, scolding and cursing, saying dat the curve never fire the fireworks at the place which all of us can see…. After few minutes, the first fireworks is fired… the previous sound is a decoy… 
 The first shot…. Isn’t it nice… Everyone was so shock and happy, on the other side which is the main road everyone is spraying the foam at each other… We are busy capturing pictures and videos….
 And happy new year to my dear… and not to forget all my friends… I felt so hot that night cause i dunno y… heheh :P… The fireworks last for about 15 to 20 minutes… After the fireworks end we went back straight away… But we were caught in the parking jam for almost an hour plus… Kinda tired but we are having fun…

Alot of people were gathering at the place between The Curve walk and Cinelesiure… They were waiting for the countdown… Sharp at 12… They were spraying foam at each other… It was like so crazy… We get as far as we can to avoid getting sprayed…. After dat we went to several shop to have some drinks and food but then none of the shop we went, is either full or the food ain’t good…. After they decide… We finally stop at a italian food shop which i forgot the name which is beside The Apartment… We did chatting at dat place till almost 2… And before we go back we took a pic….

Wake up today at about 6am… Kinda sleepy but still i need to wake up… I went to have a morning shower and dress up… Feel like kinda sleepy thou… Then i get ready and pack up some of my stuff and head to my dad’s car to warm up the engine… After waiting for my parents, my cousin and my sis, we start the journey at about 7.33am.. I drove today as my dad rest, and we headed to the first destination which is Ipoh, Perak… We stop by there to get our breakfast at the famous Dim Sum place name Foh San which is located in the city of Ipoh.. We don’t actually enjoy the meal since we “tap toi”(tumpang meja)… We feel uncomfortable while having our Dim Sum… After eating.. We went to buy the famous salted chicken in Ipoh.. Â
This is the picture of the shop.. I think you can see the telephone number of the shop.. So you can call them to order b4 u go to that place.. After that we continue our journey to Penang Island.. About 1 o’clock at the evening we reach Penang Island.. The first place we head to is the our main purpose which is the Mahadrama Buddha Temple… Many people went to to pray for their studies and some went there for blessing… I saw some people drove their new car there for blesssing by the monk.. I went there anually, but skipped last year cause i went to Aussie for my sis convo…
People pray the Buddha with milk.. And most of them call the Buddha as “Gu Lin Put” in Hokkien which means Buddha of Milk… After praying we headed to Kek Lok Si… Penang most famous temple with the big Guan Yin Buddha statue… Before headed up to the temple, we stop by the pasar near Kek Lok Si temple.. At the pasar, there were alot of food, mostly is those Penang cuisine.. I had an Assam Laksa.. Which is the most famous food in Penang…
 After finnishing our lunch, we went up to Kek Lok Si temple. We went straight to the top of the temple which the large Guan Yin Buddha statue is located… At that place we can have a nice view at the Penang Island, not all but partially.. Anyway it was a nice view from there…
As you guys can see that the pace is very cloudy and we are enjoying the cool weather… On the other hand, i saw a drastic change on the Guan Yin statue, which is the statue is going to be covered by a gigantic roof… I and i think this project cost millions… Few years back, people of the temple have already collecting funds from donator, they ask people to buy some small piece of roof and write your name on it and it cost RM30 which is not too expensive… And this picture i took shows that ther construction is still going on and it’s kinda scary
After we went to Kek Lok Si, we head to buy some Tambun biscuit, which is also famous in Penang Island… And before that we go and have some delicious chendol which located at some lorong in the City..
In the picture, you can see that the famous PCK have also visited this Chendol store… Wow.. This is gorgeous… Hehehe… We ordered 4 as my sis don’t want and waited us in the car… Last time when we were here, we need to stand while eating, but now, he bought a house near by to let their customer to eat comfortably.. The chendol is so delicious as you will ask for more… But i can’t eat cause i just have my lunch…
Isn’t it nice… Hehehe… After that we round around the city before we headed to the place which we want to buy the Tambun Biscuit, cause that place have alot of nice food too… Dats y we need to buy some time to digest our food… Hehehe.. After almost an hour round, we reach the place… Although there were some store is not open but we able to buy the food which we like… Sadly, i didn’t take some picture to share… I bought a “siu yok fan”(roasted pork rice), fried oyster and my mom bought 2 of their favourite porridge with some pork organ i think.. After eating we went to the shop and buy the biscuit then we head to the ferry jetty to get to Seberang Prai.. At that time it was raining heavily, we can even see whats around the sea…
I can only see the yellow thingy floating which is called boye, i think.. Sorry if my spelling are wrong… After reaching Seberang Prai we head back to Klang… We reach Klang about at 10 o’clock… The journey is quite tiring buy we enjoyed it…

Hie guys,
It’s been awhile since i used this simple blog system… Ok.. Let me introduce you guys to my old blog system… The blog system name is called Simple PHP Blog.. It uses plain text to store the post and other link and stuff rather than using database system… As time passes, i felt that this blog system is getting slow when people are trying to access.. So i planned to migrate to other blog system.. I’ve been trying wordpress few months ago.. I was trying to get use to the system till i migrate.. Scare i might dunno how to use the system since this Simple PHP Blog is kinda easy to maintain.. After few months of trial and error, i made up my mind to change the system and migrate to the new system.. Here it goes, yesterday night i was looking for nice theme for my blog then i found one and i like it.. I installed the theme and started to do some settings on it.. I didn’t really setup everything when i was trying the system.. After installing the theme, i migrate all my previous post, not all, since some of them are quite lame a not complete.. So after i migrate everything i tried to setup some of the stuff such as the widget and about me… But, about me is not done yet and this is my new blog.. Tada….!!!!
Ok, hope you guys will enjoy my lame blog..
C ya.. And stay tuned,there is more to come……
