I have a Compaq Presario 4660, P2 300MHz, 256 Ram and an 8 GB HD. Can anyone tell me how I can SAFELY overclock this MOBO? Thanx, -Dean-

I think Vantec, the silver one with the 4 controlers. Any other ideas ? Just going to put all my fans on 7 Volts i mean 5 volts when not playing games. Thanks.

Using via p4mapro 533 but can only go as high as 2.6. Any faster boards out there for this chip? I'd like to reach 3 with it if possible. Thanks for any ideas...

I recently purchased a Sony GRT360ZG, but I do not like the performance, especially when running on batteries. I downloaded wcpuid, and similar from intel. It informs me that the data bus is over clocked when on batteries. What does this mean? How does this affect performance. It is suspos to...

I'm finally looking at upgrading my computer system, been a while. I have been pondering the idea of OC'ing an AMD XP2500 using an A7n8X Deluxe motherboard. I've seen others who have installed quite a few case fans in the boxes, two in the lower front section, a "blow hole" in the top and a few...

I took two of my four sticks of RAM out to try to enable SLI memory but when I do my overclock disappears on my Striker Extreme. Why? It does give options in the BIOS CPU OC 0, +1, +2 all the way up to OC MAX but does this mean it will overclock itself. How? Thanks Robin

Turn $6 Into $6000, Just read this and find out how... WANT TO EARN CASH?? NO SCAMS!! NO TRICKS!! Have you fell for the DON LAPRE/CARLTON SHEETS SCHEMES. You're not the only one! Although these programs do have some valuable info, they don't tell you anything that you can't find at your local...

Cool a small area of the motherboard at a time, and check for changes in the temperature readings. You should be able to quickly zero in on the location of the thermistor. There may be a printed lable on the motherboard at the thermistor location, something like 'TH 1'. There is a special...

hi, I've got a Pentium 3 Coppermine socket 370 600E (100 x 6.0) on a Tyan Trinity 400 S1854 chipset Apollo pro 133A. Multipliers can be set up by changing jumpers and the FSB can be changed via BIOS.....busses have already a correct setting..... FSB is the only bottle-neck..... But it seems to be...

Hello, I'm very new to this. I'm actually not trying to overclock, just trying to get stable. My system runs stable but after 1/2 or so of running a taxing video game my system crashes (I loose vid signal and have to turn the case off then back on, reset button won't work) I was suspect of my...

Hi Troops, Thanks to Wayne I just discovered that New Egg has the 2.8C for $183 and the 3.2C for $283. The sale ends today! I can probably find them for a few bucks cheaper but I'd prefer dealing with New Egg. I probably won't have all the pieces for my new box for another month so I'd like to...

I recently designed and assembled a prototype device which provides 4 x 3-pin fan headers and 4 x temperature sensor inputs plus an onboard temperature sensor. The device connects to the 5-pin SMBus header found on many motherboards, and is supported natively by Motherboard Monitor - allowing for...

this is off topic, but i wasnt exactly sure the right newsgroup for it. i have 2 sticks of 128 mb rdram in my RIMM 1 and RIMM 2 slots. i will be getting 2 additional sticks of 256 rdram. now is it better if i stick the new larger memory sticks into RIMM 1 and 2 or is it going to give...

Hi, I wonder how reliable overclocking is in terms of the life expectancy of the overclocked machine? for example pushing a 3gig machine to 4 gig isnt worthwhile if its only going to last 12 months, you might end up having to buy a new cpu and/or motherboard. Just wondering what sort of machine...

ordered from newegg an ECS 865PE-A and a retail 2.4c 800mhz, wondering if this board has any overclocking potential....been reading lately that it has no vcore adjustment in bios

I am experimenting with an Asus P2B-AE motherboard (OEM for Sony, similar to the P3B-1394) to see if I can get it to run a Tualatin processor. First problem was the original BIOS, which was thoroughly crippled - however the board runs fine using the last P3B-1394 BIOS (version 2004.001, dated...

I tried posting this before, but it doesn't look like my ISP posted it. So, if this is a repeat, I apologize in advance. I would like to maximize the performance of my system, which has an Epox 8Kha+ mobo. The Epox website states that the fastest CPU that will work with this mobo is an...
