Your model of CPU, the 2400s, is purposfully clocked 600mhz lower than the 2400, this is to generate less heat and be low powered. Have you build a gaming system around this CPU or is this a laptop your running. If this is a laptop then it pobably could not handle the extra heat of an overclock.

I have the same chip and an asus boad, I would leave your bus speed at auto, If your unhappy with the increased base clock you could clock your RAM lower. I have 1600mhz ram and my Base clock is 100mhz. When you say your cpu core speed increased, what did it go to? asus boards come with a...

So i Have a sapphire 7850 OC edition. I currently have it stable at 1100mhz core however I had to increase my voltage from 1.138 to 1.16v I notice on Sapphire Trixx (OC software) I have the option of VDDC and Board Power Limit. I have researched this and come to understand it is something to do...

I understand there is a risk, but as long as the odds are in my favour I'm good.

I have the sapphire 7850 OC edition, i can run it at 1050mhz core no problem on 1.138v I'm trying to get it running at 1100mhz using Sapphire Trixx. I can do 15 mmin burn in with furmark and my temps don't reach 60c, i can benchtest in 3d mark no problem but when I play BF3 I get BSOD...

As per my earlier post to which no-one offered any advice, I cannot enter bios. The background image of Uefi loads but there is no text. I have tried clearing CMOS. I can still enter windows ok. I have two options still to try. Asus "Bupdater Utility V1.30 for flash BIOS under DOS" Does under...

Please someone must know something about this issue. Should I upgrade my bios through windows utility? Should I just return my mobo?

Using Asus p8z77 v-lx Pc was working perfectly, opened case to tidy a few fan wires I missed in my build. Removed my wireless card and put back in. Went to start pc back up and was greeted with "enter setup to recover bios settings" "press f1 to enter setup", i press F1 and the background image...

I have not OC my CPU yet however was running Prime95 and my "core speed" was showing at 3800Mhz on CPU-Z. Does this mean my board it auto OCing my chip? I have heard my board's auto OC features are voltage heavy so would like to disabable them (I thought I had).

I've been running my i5 3570k at stock but I'm keeping at eye on temps and stuff, will probably overclock some day. I wa running prime95 for a few minutes and my temps hit 55c, ended prime and teps droped almost immediatly to about 32c. Is that normal? I'm only on air cooling using an artic...

The board I ordered was ASUS p8z77 v lx I'm going to be running a 7850 in my PCIE 3 slot at x16 Will using a pcie x1 lane for my wireless card drop the bandwith avaliable to my GPU? Just because I understand some lanes share bandwith when using two GPUs. Sorry if a stupid question. Just...

No SSD, budget streatched too faras is. My memory doesn't seem to be listed as supported, do you think that could be a problem.

I'm shopping for a case, what length are most graphics cards. The 7850 I'm looking at only has a length of 207mm, but I would like to know I'm not going to be stuck in future.
