Wondering if anyone has an idea here. S2KCTL is a great CPU software cooler for AMD CPU's that works by issuing a HALT command when the CPU is idling. It worked great, reduced my temps by 10 to 15 degrees C, but now, all of a sudden, it doesn't. I monitored the CPU and it is idling. The only...

Hi there! I have a problem that seems to be serious: I have a Fujitsu Siemens A1630 notebook with a AMD Athlon 64 3700+ that works at the frequency of 2400MHz. The problem is: every operating system recognizes it running at 800MHz, no differences between Vista or Ubuntu, they simply show only...

I have an Athlon XP 2600 and FIC KT400A mother board, 1GB ram. I was looking at upgrading to something faster as the Athlon 64's have dropped in price. I can get an Athlon 64 3700+ and Gigabyte GA-K8NF9 mother board for $125 I see 2 versions of the Athlon 64 one is Athlon 64 3700+ 90nm Rev E...

I saw on ebay somebody selling some K6 CPUs. One caught my eye due to the price: US 239.99 ! It is a K6-3+ 550 MHz Were these very rare or what? The going price for a slower K6-3 or K6-2+ seems to be $20.

Looking to upgrade on my A8n-Premium board. Prices can be pretty close.....is there a comparison on the web?

How well can I o/c this cpu on msi k8mm3? Thanks.

Howdy All; This is my first AMD based board. I look at the bios and I am not quite sure the steps to overclocking an AMD board. Most Intel boardS are the speed and a multiplier. What steps must I do to do the overclocking right? Thanks in advance. JAS

Could anyone tell me if a Sempron 3000 is a worthwhile upgrade over an Athlon XP 2500? My mother board is socket 462 and will only handle a 333 FSB. There is bios support for up to a sempron 3000 or an Athlon XP 3000. Which would be my best buy off eBay if I wanted to upgrade? Also does...

Hi: I have an Opty running at 2.8 GHz with 4 GBs of dual channel RAM. I saw some boards like Gigabyte and Epox support up to 16 GBs of RAM. However, finding a stick of 4 GB of DDR2 seems to be a bit difficult. I was curious to see if anybody has exceeded 4 GBs on their systems and has any...

Hi Folks, My Athlon Thunderbird socket A is running at around 1GHz on an A7V266. I'd like to get a new heatsink and quiet cpu fan for it (the old one is gummed up and noisy as hell). Anyone have any suggestions? Don't want to spend a mint, of course. Thanks a ton. Best, Allie

Is there any advantage to using matched memory modules with a Turion x2 TL-52? Currently have two PC2-5300 512MB sticks, and would like to replace one with a 1GB PC2-5300 (plan to replace the other one later). Will mismatched modules like this impact speed negatively? Thanks! NSS

Hi all, I just built a new AMD Athlon 64 4000 rig with a geforce 7600gt video card, asus a8n mobo with Antec True Power Trio TP3-430 ATX12V 430W . I got it all together but when I power it up nothing happens. All the fans come on in the case, cpu, and video card. But nothing else happens, now...

First time using DDR2 Can I use DDR2 800 in a motherboard that specs for 533/667? I don't expect it to run at 800, but can I at least use it? TIA, Amir

I am looking to upgrade from an Athlon XP 2500+ to an Athlon 64 X2 4200. I have looked at so many motherboards but most don't support my older stuff. I have several parallel port printers that won't work with USB adapter cables and 2 new IDE hard drives. I also see there is a lack of PCI slots in...

currently running an older system based on this board with an Athlon 950. wondering what is the fastest processor i could upgrade it to? would updating BIOS or overclocking make a difference? Thanks J

I upgraded my kt7 mb a few years ago with an amd xp 2100+ cpu and it has been working like a champ. I would now like to upgrade a kt7a (v1.3) mb but 2100+ cpus are hard to find. Would anyone know if either of these cpus will work without modding? The price difference between them is only $10. ...
