I bought everything in my computer 2 years ago, and at the time the 8800gt was the best bang for the buck for 22" at 1680x1050. Recently I have upgraded my monitor to a 23" at 1920x1080 and the 8800gt doesn't want to keep up with the resolution. Currently thinking about upgrading to ATI's...

Just prime95, the cores are now 57C and 50C. And the VID is 1.2250v Is this normal?

I just bought the HyperTX2, so I'll be able to redo the CPU and heatsink to make sure that there is good contact between them. Going to prime95 it when I get home. Thanks for the help.

Recently I bought a GA-EP45-DS3L and intel E7300, hooked everything up and is working. What bugs me is that the cores are not similar at all, as one core at idle is 44C and the second core is 32C. Is this suppose to be normal?

So for the past few days I have been trying to overclock the CPU to 3.33GHz, which failed even though voltage is at 1.25V. Next step: overclock to 3.00GHz with 300Mhz at 1.2V, failed. Maybe I'm doing this wrong by just upping only the voltage of the CPU vCore and frequency of it. Here are the...

If you really want to know about graphics cards, here is a link on it. http://www.notebookcheck.net/Mobile-Graphics-Cards-Benchmark-List.844.0.html Just choose the one that you will probably need for the longest time and the actual need for it. I mean I'm pretty fine with integrated since my...

I have a similar laptop like you do (Presario F756NR), and I also feel the lag when it comes to playing Warcraft III. From what I read about the 7000m, it is not meant to play many games, even the old ones. I don't know if it is because it is a manufacturer's version or not. But rather than...

You know, if you go with the 780G, and your aunt doesn't play games, then don't get a new GPU. http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2008/03/04/amd_780g_integrated_graphics_chipset/11 The integrated graphics for the 780G is really good by itself, so save the money for everything else, especially...

I will probably crank it in the summer. Right now in college though, 18 hours is killing me.

Well, I just now figured out I can use SpeedStep along with it being overclocked to 3.0Ghz The Vcore is 1.25V before and after, nothing changed. I'm guessing it is also factory stamp. Tested SmallFFTs using prime95 for 16-17 hours, no errors and max temps at 60C. Oh, and the temps kind of...

From my rig, I have a DS3L and Q6600, and I have just overclocked it. FBS: 333 Multi: 9 Voltage change: None Temp Idle: 0: 37 1: 31 2: 31 3: 39 VID: 1.25 volts RAM: 800 (PC6400) Downed to 667 with 4-5-5-13 FBS:DRAM : 1:1 Main question, Is it normal for me NOT to change the voltage?

Right now I have OCZ Gold 2GB PC6400 (800) 5-5-5-15. And my cooler is the HyperTX2. Revision: G0 VID: 1.2500v TJMax: 100C Core0: 36C Core1: 37C Core2: 30C Core3: 30C I'll probably attempt over 3.0Ghz later on when I need it. For now I just need a small boost for a program.

Hey guys, I'm about to try something out with my rig and need some opinions about it. Its just a small overclock, but I'm not sure which one will be better. Multiplier: 8x, FSB: 333 = 2.66 Multiplier: 9x, FSB: 300 = 2.7 I'm pretty sure I won't need to change anything (voltages) except the FSB...
