Currently, my friend is running an Intel E6550 overclocked to 3.4 GHZ on air with a temperature of 20 °C. The only thing stopping him from overclocking more is just a stability issue. When he plays crysis directX 9 with everything on max 1440X900 AA X16 he gets a little bit of lag. The video...

Hey, I recently bought a Dell dimension 531 for a good price, and I bought it with the intention of just upgrading the whole lot basically, it was just a base so that I could upgrade without having to buy a whole new computer at once. Anyway, so far the spec is as follows: AMD X2 5000+ 4GB...

So, I recently picked up an HD 4850.... It seems the average OC for this card is anywhere from 690/1050-725/1150 on stock cooling. I haven't been able to get even the smallest stable OC, even though I haven't seen temps reach even 60 Celsius, even under load.. I'm basically limited to...

I was hoping that AMD would some how get it's derailed train back on track with the supposed benchmarks that were to be released. Forever I have waited for a DX10 card from ATI, but nothing. AMD is quiet as a mouse about how it is going to compete in the CPU and Graphics market. Hector hasn't...

just tried to turn on a brand new Corsair HX520W, (with nothing connected), and... well... is it supposed to do something when it's like this? Fan whirling, buzzing... anything? Because it didn't. No activity whatsoever. Or at least nothing I could tell. Mildly stressed, since this is my first...

Does anyone know is there has been benchmarks for multiproc clusters ie 16 single cpu versus 8 dual cpu versus 4 quad cpu in a bang for the buck competition? The Pen is mightier than the Sword, but the Sword is better if you need back up.
