Hi, I`m using a Gigabyte GA-7VA Mobo with the 7va9 bios. I can not alter the multiplier in the Bios settings. Does this mean that iv`e got to get a Unlocking Kit top exploit the extra multipliers from the CPU. If i do unlock this then i definatley want a water cooling setup.. Recommendations...

Greetings, I recently purchased a 2500+ Barton. My motherboard would not post so I tried my old AMD processor for verification on a bad motherboard. I was having trouble removing the heat sink so I had someone help me by using a small screwdriver to pull outward on the clip so it...

I'm in the process of upgrading my machine. I've started with an Asus A7N8X Deluxe mainboard, but I am now ready for the processor upgrade. I've got an XP 2000 at the moment and I wanted to know if I could get a good speed out of that without upgrading it. Alternatively, I've heard some stuff...

I have this board and an a barton 2500+ Processor. I have tested this chip to 2250mhz stable (prime95 for 24hours, 3dmark 2001SE looping Demo, memtest, etc) However, when I try to run it at 200mhz fsb, even if I drop the multiplier as low as 10.5 (2100mhz) it is completely unstable with errors...

I tried copper heatsinks - which all performed worse than similar sized (s/a) Aluminium sinks on CPU, VPU and NB. The worst case was that of my Radeon 9700 Pro, which would slow to ludicrously low frame-rates - even with an 80mm, 40CFM fan on it. Indeed it became untouchably hot - so I took it off...

Ok, i have an XP1600 with a volcano 7cu heatsink. I live in a VERY hot climate, so you blue people don't get alarmed cos my case temp is over 15 degrees C. My case temp is around 35-40 degrees C, which is normal here. However, my cpu is running at 50-55 degrees C at idle with vcool!! I have...

Was just wondering if anyone else has had this problem with their epox boards. I just got an 8RDA (not +) and xp2100+ which so far is working great after a few minor problems. Now I have another problem, Win2k won't use UDMA for my main hard drive, it will only use PIO mode. My second drive and...

Hello all, Thanks to everyone who responded to my question about thermal compound awhile back. I have a new question now. After building my new Amd box I find out I have a defective motherboard which I had to send back to newegg.com. My processor and heatsink have been sitting on my bench for...

Hi, looking at the Delta 60mm Focussed Flow Fans, but I'm not sure what the difference is between EHE and SHE? Thanks, Wayne ][

OK I know the thread's out of date but I've been away - I would suggest looking at something with the NForce2 chipset, it really is excellent, stable and has all the gadgets you could ask for. There's a new Ultra 400 version which is factory-rated for 200Mhz FSB (or 400 in marketing-speak), and I...
