i'm getting desperate now. the machine booted at the lowest setting of 100/100 FSB and i reset the bios to 143/143 as usual and mem timings to fast & latency to 2 instead of 2.5. the machine wouldnt reboot. tried usual reset bios with power lead off & nothing, wouldnt even spin the fans. * new...

Can some one post the url for the site which shows the correct pins for the wire trick. I have a xp2500 which hopefully can be oced a bit.

OK, I've just switched from a volcano 7+ (which was giving me cpu temp under load of 54+) to a Q tec (cheap and nasty) and my load temp is now 43 ???? I've o/c'd from a 2500+ to a 3200+ and the load temp is still only 51. The V7 was running at 4500 rpm while the q tec is at 2700. Now I would...

Trying to get the best out of this combo but not really winning Currently I have got it to 176 FSB and 12.5 X CPU for a speed of 2195. I,m sure I should be able to get the FSB higher but it wont stay stable above this, infact it wont even boot into the OS. Memory is Crucial 512 DDR 3200 and I have...

Just like to know. Dont need it so i might mount it in my case. Just on the side blowing air to my CPu i think, through a vent :) Right to the CPU, should get that cool air to the CPu that Little bit quicker. Thanks.

I am currently running an old Athlon Tbird 1.4 Ghz on an Asus A7V333. From what I understand this is an awfully hot cpu.( 50-55 C under load) I just bought a Barton XP2500+ that will go into a Asus A7N8X. Will I get better cooling out of my Volcano 7 or the stock AVC 112C86 that came with the...

Hi, I've just got me paws on an XP 1800+ (AXDA1800DLT3C blah JIUHB), bought specifically for a big-time over clock, but I wanted to know if anyone has had any experience of burning processors in by under clocking and over volting? Here is an interesting...

Looks like AMD is conceding the demand is too low at the moment for the A64: http://www.overclockers.com/articles819/ rms

I moved to my dorm today. Carefully set my computer in the car. When I move in and hook it up the pc is freezing up and having probs after a min or two. Took me 2-3 times to figure out the cpu fan stopped. It's majorly broke and doesnt run. I got a real slow cheapie to use, but the damage to the...

Hi, Recently, I purchased a new pc with a asus a7n8x deluxe and xp 2600+ (not overclocked yet). I have a 420 watt psu made by Raidmax with three other case fans. My cpu fan is stock. It worked silently for a week, then a few days ago, it started making this screeching sound. It is driving me...

how i can improve on this - http://tinyurl.com/mixm ? i'm sure i must be able to get it better somehow

Leaning towards and AMD 64. What ram would i need for an AMD 64 ??? Other alternatives ?? Just the fastest no limit on the cost, just want the fastest. Thanks.
