hi guys, just got my i5 760 installed today..heres my queries lol.. It come as 2.8ghz with turboboost hitting 3.3ghz, with 1333mhz ram running @ 667mhz, so basically everything is stock except the ram being "turbo" (can select extreme,but makes no difference imo), i can get a stable oc @...

ok sweet guys thanks for the info, went & tried it out on both systems...no difference that i could notice, i do like the idea of an i5..i really do, but i guess ya get what ya pay for these days, i got my amd in a combo with mobo, hs & ram was like £15 more than the i5 seperatly & i needed a...

Whats better guys...? AMD athlon ii x4 640 OC`d @ 3.3ghz-3.6ghz......or Intel i3 540 OC`d @ 4ghz?? ive read that the dual core will out perform the quad in some ways, so which would be better... for example... running a ps2 emu? both systems have same ram/ graphics card etc..so its just down to...

found out it has a startup option...mods remove please..i dont know how lol :)

if you go through all usual options, reseat & replace..blah blah.. & you still have the same issue, ill tell u what solved it for me....DO NOT use nvidia`s drivers...use the windows/MS version either from OS install disk or via device manager>DisplayAdapters>UpdateDriverSoftware....(or even the...

i can get a stable 3.3-3.4ghz OC, yet occassionally upon shutdown/restart, i get cmos bad error, so i have to reconfigure the OC in bios, then it works fine again..any ideas whats up??

i have a 1700, i currently use "nvidia inspector" to OC it, anyone know how i can make it autostart on boot/win7 startup/login? as the program only gives a shortcut on desktop or am i forever doomed to having to keep double clicking it after every boot...

I own a t180, ive put 8gb ram & got the athlon 64 x2 6000+ @3.1ghz & it servers its purpose very well..i was also wondering if there was a quad cpu for it, searching just comes up with am2+ not just am2 "/ & even most of them arent nowhere near my cpu speed...?!? Tbh if there is 1, its hard to...

Ok this was the results.... Solder hasnt melted, but the heat messed up the sensor...so now its just slotted between heatsink & cpu socket, well as close to the cpu as i could see & get to without removing them..& tbh, temps only differ between about 5c, close enough i guess, thats the led...

so does the plastic stay on?!? Im guna try a blob on 1side, slide the sensor wire in, but further in, then carefully mould another blob next to it, as long as the wire insulation doesnt melt right through, it should be ok i wrekon & itll just get a lil hot for a second or two & i doubt itll...

I get that, but would solder work, the pc is just guna sit there, not be moved or knocked, surely a lil slither of solder would be enough to hold it & not remelt?!?

My pc has wires for temperatures of cpu, hdd & system that need connecting up...instead of using thermal tape to attach the 'cpu' wire to the heatsink, could i solder it instead?
