    Which Benchmarking software?

    I was curious as to what benchmarking tool rates my entire build, not just my gpu/cpu that 3dmark06 does. Was looking at Everest or PCmark vantage. Any other suggestions or likes for the 2 I just spoke of?

    ATI driver 9.10 or Catalyst Driver 9.10?

    What is the difference between the 2? I have a XFX HD 5870 card and recently went to windows 7 ultimate 64bit. Looked for the latest drivers and there is a Windows 7 64bit ATI driver 9.10 and a Windows 7 64bit Catalyst Driver 9.10. I'm a noob in need of help!

    Crosshair III Formula BIOS question

    AMD phenom II x4 965 BE

    your kinda getting what I'm saying, but in bios I set the cpu voltage to 1.4250, so it wont go over that I believe. 3.7ghz at 200fsb 18.5x multiplier and 1.4250v's is stable for over an hour in prime95 small FFT's. I know I'm kinda back tracking a little but I believe when I first did it I was...

    Phenom II x4 965 black edition overclocking

    I have a very similer build to what jbakerlent is posting. I have the 965 instead of the 955, a xfx 5870 instead of a 5850, and same hdd's(3 to be exact, 2 for raid0 1 for backup). Atm I have my 965 oc'd to 3.6ghz atm just by increasing the multipliers. Ran prime 95 for 15mins and no errors. If...

    AMD phenom II x4 965 BE

    ok so can you tell me if my thinking is correct? Atm all stock except for the multiplier which is at 18x putting each core to 3.6ghz. I'm watching the voltage readings on the cpu and stock settings are at 1.4250v's, but running prime95 atm the cpu is only pulling 1.37-1.38v's. So if my thinking...

    Breaking an X3 720 by clocking it too high?

    From what I have been reading when you start messing with voltages, depending on how high you go can permanantly dmg your cpu, of course in your case it doesnt sound trashed cause your still using it.
