Hi all, Just bought an Athlon 64 3200+ Processor in a Box. It came with the chip and a HSF but no mounting (retention frame) bracket. Is this correct? I checked AMDs site but couldn't find a list of contents? The directions in the box state to install a Retention Frame but don't say if it...

Hi, I have an emachines PC. P4 1.5ghz CPU and 256MB PC 133 mem. Mobo has jumper settings for 100mhz and 133mhz. It uses a socket 478 and an Intel 845 chipset. If I pull out the 1.5ghz P4 what do you guys think the Fastest P4 CPU this board would handle would be?

Strictly speaking not an overclocking query, but related. Just bought an old cheap P4 MB that apparently only supports 400MHz CPUs. However, most P4s in the stores are 533MHz or 800MHz. Can I plug one of these higher frequency CPUs into the MB and up the multiplier to compensate without any risk,...

Hello, I have a 'c' P4 2.4GHz cpu in an Asus P4C800-E board. In the bios I have the settings set to the 30% Performance Increase (giving me a 3.12GHz CPU). I know that there is no rocket science in doing that, but is there a more practical way of adjusting the settings for max...

I recently ordered a standard Dell Dimension 8300 desktop and have since received notification from the company that they are required to change the current desktop order due to a supply issue being faced. In their words, "the replacement processor will have the same clock speed but with less...

Hello all, Some of you might remember a few days ago I posted about my Celeron 1.3, I was running at 1.52ghz then. I've had another play, dropped a large case fan in to get rid on the hot air and am now using a Cooler Master Aero 7 Lite heatsink & fan, a very large bit of kit that only just fits...

Can anybody tell me if the following configuration for an Abit IC7G motherboard will work with a Pentium 4E (Prescott) processor and how far it might be able to over clock. Does the Pentium 4E come with a heat sink or do you have to buy one separately ? I've heard there are issues with the IC7G...

I've got an older computer with a Celeron 400mhz original clock. I'm using it as an HTPC and I'm trying to squeeze all the performance out of it that I can. Right now I've got it at 450mhz and it's running fine. Is there any way I could get it up to 500mhz? I'm not an really an experienced...

I cant overclock my P4 2.53Ghz more than 2.94Ghz as when I change the FSB to 156 and Run 3dMark03 it shuts down on the CPU test! I have already checked the temperature and it doesnt go beyond 56°C, so that's definitely NOT the cause. I have an ASUS P4B533-E and 512MB CORSAIR DDRAM 333Mhz (PC...

Hi. My GPU fan has just died. I have tried a Vantec Iceberq 4 coller but it is a bit loud (whining noise) for my liking. The card is a Hercules 9700 Pro 128MB. It is based on the reference design however it has its own custom heatsinks not only on the memory but also on the back of the GPU as...
