I am looking to build a high end gamer pc running 2 8800 gtx's in SLI, 2 gb OCZ DDR2 PC2-6400 CL 4 FlexXLC Edition and a core 2 duo e6600 of 6700, what is the best motherboard for making this setup fly? Bad axe 2, and striker extreme are the two I have been looking at but I would like further...

I can only get everest and core temp to display my temperature and they both say that both more cores (core 2 duo, e6600 @ 2.7) are idling at 55-60 degrees, this cannot be right I have pretty good cooling I'd say. TAT gives me an error "error numerating on demand clock modulation support" I...

I'll try and keep it short and sweet; I'm building an e4300 rig but I'm having trouble finding the right motherboard. THIS is my first choice, from what I've seen/read it's a great board to OC. What worries me though is that I've also seen/heard that this board won't recognize the e4300 right...

I'm making a cheap rig with a pentium 6850, hd 6770, h61m/u3s3 mobo, 8gig ram. Is one rear fan enough, or would I need to bump the case up to the HAF 912 for two fans? NZXT one fan...

Is there a guide I can read for this overclocking business. I've built a new rig that has all the trimmings for a great overclocking system (apparently) but I've never overclocked before so I don't know what settings to change to achieve what effects etc. My system is as follows:- Intel Core...

Hi I have bought an ASUS P7P55D-E Premium motherboard and a core I7 875k cpu - I cant even start the Bios to have a look - only a red light on the motherboard telling me something is not right with the cpu. Everything else starts, fans, harddisks and so on, but not the bios. And the cpu seems...

I have a gigabyte 965P S3 with an c2d e6300 and 1GB DDR2 667 G.SKILL. Currently my c2d is running at 50 - 55 C and idling around 48 -50 C with the factory heatsink. I tried to do some mild OCing by using the auto voltage setting, setting the CPU multiplier to 7 (was originally set to 6), the cpu...
