So I recently bought a used laptop (first mistake) and everything seemed at startup. However, once the laptop booted up the screen began to randomly flicker and distort. The guy I bought the laptop from said that instead of resetting the laptop he reinstalled a fresh copy of Windows. Thinking...

Hello all, I've been at newegg making up a wish list and noticed that they have reduced their prices on all of the P4c except the 2.4c The 2.6c(at $175US retail) is actually cheaper than the 2.4c(at $185US retail), can you believe that?????? Now I've been a reader here a long time before I...

http://www.anandtech.com/cpu/showdoc.html?i=1818 Hrm looks like the Opteron needs a bit more clock speed to dominate over the P4 3.0C,but i doubt people will use thier expensive workstation to encode home movies with, but on the other hand, it wins every gaming benchmark\ Also these...

Hey, So I want to water cool my CPU. :bounce: Corsair's H100 seems to be pretty good setup, and posts some of the lowest temps out any CPU cooler heatsync or water on the market. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835181017 It is however, not that pretty :), but that's...

This may be a very silly question but when I overclock the x6 1090T do I need to change the CPU VID? I dont understand what its for and what effect it has on overclocking.

Hi, I have an ASRock p55 Deluxe (1156) & am having cooler problems. First up the board contains both older skt 775 & standard 1156 mounting holes. However when trying any of my previous heatpipe coolers on the board in 775 configuration they don't fit. The Coolermaster Hyper 6+ just won't fit...

I dont have any isopropyl alcohol. Is it ok to remove the thermal paste from my heatsink and cpu with methylated spirits instead?
