So in my signature you might see the 1.8GHz O/Ced to 2.28. The RAM is O/Ced as well since it is a software overclock. Since this is a Dell motherboard BIOS overclock is not a option. I've ran OCCT on large data sets for 2 hours, and Prime 95 for 12+ hours. Should I be worried and disable the...

I have a Q9550 thats running at 3.2 GHZ right now (8.5 x 376). I wanted to bring it up to 3.6 GHZ cause i heard that my processor has a good overclocking potential. The problem is that when i raise it from 376 FSB to 400 FSB (to get it to 3.4) it doesnt load up into Vista. I can change the FSB...

My system had been running without a hitch until Thursday night when I had to reboot. Long story short, I went from UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME blue screens to eventually seeing no files on the drive using an XP CD's recovery console. Hooking the drive up to a friend's computer to check it out...

After about 4 hours, everything still runs fine but the sound slows down then dies? Didnt happen with my 7750, what should i do or could i try to solve this?

I'm thinking about buying a notebook but I've never had one, and I'm very confused with so many options and models to buy... First, I live in Brazil, so even a cheap notebook in other countries is a little expensive here. I'll keep the notebook here at home and take it to the university when I...

I'm looking for a new laptop, around the AUD$1500 mark. The dv5 1134 has: P8600 2.4GHz cpu (3MB L2 cache), 4GB of DDR2 RAM (2 slots), a 320GB HDD (only 5400rpm though), a GeForce 9600M GT card (512MB) 4 USB 2.0 ports (one shared?) I'm going to be using it as a mobile workstation (normal apps...

I know it has improved with HD Audio support etc... over the years, but seriously, who on earth builds a PC with an Extreme Edition CPU & £300 graphics card and then uses onboard sound? I think that any motherboard over £200 (and possibly lower) should not have any onboard sound. If this was...

I have two used HDDs - a Seagate 80GB Barracuda SATA and a Western Digital Caviar 200GB SATA. Both have problems. The Seagate won't format at all, and the Caviar has bad sectors. Is there any service available for these or are they expensive paperweights? Thanks!

I am going to order a new Asus A8N-SLI board because I can no longer stand my freebie ECS board (bad temp sensors and the LAN has issues). I figured that while I'm at it I could set up a RAID 0. I'd like to use my current Hitachi 7k80 7200RPM 2MB PATA drive and buy a matching drive to pair...

Hello, I am working on a new build for home with moderate gaming (I mainly play MMOs/D3/Sim City/and maybe Skyrim eventually) but enough functionality to work with Adobe Creative Suite. Just a quick overview of my experience: I haven't built a PC for a few years and an overview of my last build...

Well, I have an aging system with an IBM 40Gb Ultra ATA 100 and a Western Digital 80Gb Ultra ATA 100 HDD. I don't need more space, as I already have 65Gb of free space. However, I am tired of load times. (With McAfee Shield enabled at startup, it takes like two minutes from pressing the power...

My stock E4500 (i didnt OC it) has an idle temp of core 0 55C / 130F core 1 52C / 125F The cooling is pretty beefy (i'll post a pic later) I used CPUID hardware under load its core 0 66C core 1 63C

I looked through Thermalright's site at all of their online vendors and none of them have one in stock :roll: Anyone know somewhere that does? This us getting a bit frustrating, I just want a damn CPU cooler!!

I've had my 6600 since December, and have chosen to keep it at a relatively mild 20% OC (from 2400Mhz to 2880Mhz). I never downloaded any utility to monitor core temp because, frankly, I wasn't concerned about it. (I know, I know... give me a break.) My reasoning was -- I have a great cooler in...

Hi guys, I'm looking for some help. I've been trying to work out the cause of very wild temperature fluctuations between idle and load, and between Tcore and Tjunction. I've read and believe I understand CompuTronix's guide. My system: Asus P5B Deluxe WIFI (BIOS 1004) E6300 C2D Corsair...

Hey, i'm buying a new system, and i have heard that the Intel Core 2 Duo is a great chip to overclock. Since money is an issue i have tried to gather some rather "cheap" components. I am a gamer and i use my computer for editing video. Intel Core 2 Duo / E6400 / 2MB / 2,13GHz / 1066FSB OCZ...

Hi to everyone!! I am struggling lately to decide which one of the two coolers i should buy in order to cool my AMD64 4600+ X2 cause with the factory coller either in idle or load mode the temps are high enough as you know :( and i really see some performance decrease while working or playing of...
