    External Data Loss.. lost at how to recover

    Hi guys Last night my flat mate plugged a device into the same wall plug used by me 1tb Transcent Storejet. The light that is also plugged into that socket flickered twice, and the external enclosure rapidly powered up and down twice simoultaneously as it lost and regained power. The drive now...

    Intel Q4 Numbers, Net Income Up 875 Percent

    back_by_demandThe only ground that is lost is to the high-end entheusiast. Anyone with half a brain knows they can pick up a 2 year old card for $65 that has more pixel pumping power than any console. Don't forget that the Xbox 360 is 5 years old, it may have had technological and price...

    Intel Q4 Numbers, Net Income Up 875 Percent

    and while on this topic I sincerely hope that Fermi can be affordable, green and give the 5 series AMD cards a run for their money, for if not, we will be facing the same situation to get affordable and decent pixel pushers. If we have to fork out heavily for CPU's and GPU's, PC gaming will lose...

    Intel Q4 Numbers, Net Income Up 875 Percent

    guys... as someone with an intel proc, albeit an e5200 oc'd, I feel that if we dont support AMD, intel will drive AMD's CPU manufacturing business into the ground. I do realise that in the past the two companies have traded blows but I also feel that AMD is at a distinct disadvantage atm. (that...

    Guide: Overclocking AMD And Intel CPUs On A Budget

    Surely people on a budget (like me) would prefer their e5200 to last longer than a 'few months or hopefully a yr to 3?' i know i will upgrade prob in a year or so, so a yr would be fine, but a few months? Pfffft. my proc vid is 1.225 and for 3.33ghz i need a vcore of 1.385 in bios which at idle...

    Overclock monitoring in sidebar

    Hi all. May be a silly question as google has literally thousands of returns on this but i am looking for a sidebar gadget which can display nb, sb temps as well as cpu usage, ram usage, gpu temps the whole shebang. I have found a number of individual gadgets, but i prefer to use just one...

    E5200 + Gigabyte GA-G31M-ES2L A match made in heaven?

    Very impressive bro. My board is a ga-eg31m-s2 (mATX) and i need 1.3875 in bios for a prime stable 3.33 (266x12.5) so that is phenomenal!

    Vcore question

    Hi all 1) The vid range for 45nm processors tops out at 1.3625 and max safe (safe being 24/7 to me) vcore is 1.44. Is this correct? 2) if i were to set to for example 1.46vcore in bios and AFTER get vdrop/droop in windows get 1.44 is THIS the 1.44 max ppl refer to? or 1.44 max in BIOS? Thanks...
