Ok, I'm about to build a new pooter and I haven't been keeping up with the latest and greatest. My current computer is a XP 1800+ on an Abit KR7A mobo with a gig of ram. Anyway, it looks like the XP 2800+ 333 Mhz. is the best chip for the money on Pricewatch.com. @ $115 so I was wondering if any...

LS, I am overclocking my XP2400+ (2200 MHz) and want to get a better heatsink to get more out of it, or at least drop the temps a bit. What is the best heatsink? Alu with copper core or full copper? I am about to buy the Thermalright SK7. I believe that is a good choice for the money.

For the first time I have been actually looking in my BIOS and I found this CPU Speed setting. Currently it is at 100mhz/100 or something like that. But I can change it all the way up to 133mhz/133 I belive. Should I change this setting? Just asking because I'm not familiar with BIOS settings...

I've been running my XP2500 at 2.2GHz on an Asus A7N8X Standard (rev 1.6) mobo for almost a year now. I recently bought an Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe mobo, and installed everything, and continued to overclock successfully. It was running BIOS 1.007 when I got it, so I decided to try out some new...

Can you guys point me to some useful sites that describe how to unlock the multiplier on a 2700+ or similar thanks

Hi all Just put the new machine together.. specs are NF7-S v2.0 Barton 2500 1GB Crucial 3200 1x samsung 160GB HD 8mb cache 1x IBM 120GB HD 2mb cache

Hi folks, I understand that the CPU will 'fry' within a few seconds if the PC is switched on without the heatsink and fan fitted. What is the situation if the heatsink and fan are fitted but say the fan stops and only the heatsink is left to dissipate the heat. How long before the CPU 'dies'...

My daughter's computer uses an ASUS A8V motherboard and W2K SP4. It was using a Venice 3000, but this morhing I finally got around to installing the 3800X2. The motherboard detected the new CPU OK. The O/S didn't seem to notice any difference. Everything is working. System Properties...

Hi, I recently put the heatsink on my Athlon 2400+ Thoroughbred B by accident, and now it doesn't POST. I think the thing is fried, but from what I've read, you usually see visible damage if it is, and I don't. Has anyone fried a CPU to the point where their computer doesn't even POST without...

Here's what started the whole thing. My invoice from the guy who put my system together lists the processor as follows: AMD ATHLON XP 2600CPU (2.13 GHZ) You can understand my confusion and rising frustration to find that the Ghz rating is not accurate. Through the gracious help of individuals...

Just read somewhere that they don't make the ram, just buy it and rebrand it, anyone know who they buy it from ? Thanks. Does anyone make their ram ?, Corsair, ect ? Thanks again.

If i set the RAM to run at 1066 mhz in the bios, the computer won't boot. It defaults to 800 mhz, and when I set it back, it works fine. The mainboard is a Gigabyte GA-M750SLI-DS4, with a Quad AMD Phenom Black Edition 9950 2600 MHz and 8 gb of OCZ Fatal1ty OCZ2F10662G. I know about the problem...

Hello all! In the manual of the MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum Mainboard (Socket 939, nForce 3 Ultra chipset) it says that if you fill up all banks using four double-sided DDR400 modules, that the Mainboard can only operate in DDR333 in dual channel mode. I read the same in many reviews of the board and...
