I had the misfortune to be sold one of these processors, purporting to be a "genuine" 'OEM Product'. The chip failed to clock properly and overheated causing my motherboard to shutdown. AMD Europe confirmed it as a "Fake" from my digital picture. I purchased the "FAKE" at 'Overclockers UK' -...

I'm wondering if there is a quick way to work out the Wattage on my PSU on my home PC (not back home for a few days). I want to know as I'm considering upgrading from a GeForce 4 Ti to a ATI Radeon 9600 XT graphics card. Can someone work out from the voltages below what my Power Supply is without...

For ventilation purposes, that is. I'm planning to do some overclocking so I figure every little bit helps. 6"? 8"? Or does it not matter as long as you have some good fans?

Hi, Some advice if you don't mind?? I have this motherboard and some decent 3200 memory and I have the chance of getting a cheap XP2500. I know that this particular CPU is capable of great things in a 400 meg FSB motherboard, like 3200 or 3400, but what would be realistic out of the A7V333???

Vantec Aeroflow VA4-C7040 http://www.compuplus.com/insidepage.php3?sid=+gtq19lyy6ixmj89&id=1000771 Well, it's true. I figured, "What the heck. It's only $15." Got it today. a week after I ordered it, and Christmas was in the middle there. Total price including Ground UPS---$13.20. You heard me...

Hey All, According to the manual, DIMM Slot 1 is the one closest to the CPU, correct? The manual says to use the memory slots from 3-1 in that order and suggests that when using two DDR PC3200 modules that you should put the memory in slots 3 and 2. But when I do this, the machine will not...

Wanted older dead hard drives, any size. my son is looking for the magnets from these drives for a school wind generator project, if anyone has any dead drives laying around and willing to donate them, please let me know. thank's. remove NOSPAM to reply

I just bought a new computer. I ran Sandra and found out that it is running slower than I expected. Here are the results. Notice that it says the prcessor speed is 1.4 Ghz. That should be 2.17 Ghz, correct? Is the computer set up improperly? Thanks in advance for any help. SiSoftware...

Just built a new PC with an Athlon XP 3000+ and a Syntax K7S746FX motherboard (SiS northbridge/southbridge, I believe). Initially it was mis-identifying the CPU as an Athlon XP 2200+, but I found the setting (changed CPU frequency from 133 to 166) that sorted that out. I'm still not sure...

Hi, I've got a week 34 (if i read the sticker right and my eyes weren't lying to me!) and on the 8RDA i can't change the multipiler, I thought it was after week 39 they "super locked" them. Is this board c**p for overlocking or did AMD lock chips this early? I can't complain cos i'm running @...

I think the work-around amounts to converting the AthlonXP to an AthlonMP and adjusting the multiplier in windows .... This work-around takes advantage of AMD's PowerNow! feature. Here is another article: http://www.cpuheat.wz.cz/html/AXP_multiplier/AXP_Multiplier.htm "Ed" ...

I have a GA-7VAX with a Barton 2500, 512 PC2700, working fine @ 1827mhz and smooth performance. I want to bump up performance a little but aren't sure exactly what to do. In the BIOS for freq/volt control when I change the FSB freq I get a box that says 'key in a DEC number, min 166 max 250' is...

I was going to go for a 2500+ and try and find a pre-week 39. Just a quick Q but are teh 2600+ locked too after week 39? Thanks Mick

Hi guys. I just ordered a msi kt6delta mobo, a barton 2800+, and a stick of elixer pc3200. I wish would have checked here first because it seems 2500 have the better multiplier and it was about 50$ cheaper. I read that that amd only suppors 400mhz memory. could I have used pc3500 for more head...

Hi, AMD XP 2600 (200x11.5), MSI K7N2-L delta, kingston 3200 1 gig Ive been using MBM 5 for a while...and usually my cpu idles at 50c which seems high since im using volcano 9...wut is the correct winbond setting 1, 2, or 3??

Quick question, hope it's not dumb, but I'm confused about a couple of things in my quest to buy a new mobo and memory, which I will probably o/c. Looking around, I'm thinking nForce2 and some sort of barton core. Here are the questions: Latency. Looked around, and didn't see any good...
