Good day. So I've overclocked my 6700K to 4.5GHz; this required 1.3V base and with LLC=6 it goes up to 1.360V in extreme situations, and this is where I am wondering if I screwed-up the heat-sink/termal-paste somehow. What temps are you guys seeing when you run Prime95's Small FFT (Maximum...

Any one have opinions on which works better as a overclocking operating system. And does it make a difference if you have AMD or Intel?

What does PC1066 mean, and and what advantage does a 1:1 ratio confer? I consider the question definitively setteled. The CPU clock : memory clock ratio is identical to the FSB : memory bus ratio. The nomenclature is murky, but DDR2 PC1066 memory is qualified to run with a memory bus of...

Hi all, I'm back again. I'm now ready to look for an aftermarket CPU heatsink. Looking at the online reviews, I've found reference to 3RSystems' Iceage 120 HS. It has the unique feature of direct heatpipe contact to the CPU integral heat spreader. It seems to me that this will allow much faster...

Hi all, My computer is an Acer M5500 without any possibilities to overclock with the BIOS. Does anyone know wich PLL is used on the motherboard, so i can use clockgen to overclock? ( i don't want to open up the case, its sealed ) Perhaps somebody has also other hints for me to overclock this...

Hi all, I'm building a PC for a mate who doesn't play many games at the moment, but wants to have the option of upgrading his system to accommodate a decent video card in the future should he get into games or video apps. He's after decent bang for buck in a low-mid range system. Accordingly, I'm...

What's so magic about 4GHz? Is nobody able to get beyond this value. Is there some fundamental architecture issue here? -- Grumps

I keep reading how the nforce chipsets unlock the bartons already so you dont need to connect the tracers, but nothing has worked for me yet, unless of course im doing something wrong. Heres what i did: I go into BIOS and set the CPU Config to manual and adjusted the Multiplier first to 11.5,...

I'm trying to build a system featuring the following: Asus P4P800 Deluxe P4 2.8C 400+ W Enermax or Antec PSU I also plan on buying a well ventilated case (probably 4 or 5 80mm+ case fans) and possibly putting a new heatsink on the chip. I'd like to overclock this thing, but I'd like to avoid...

My Specs Are Soyo KT400 MOBO 512 DDR333 Athlone XP 2600+ When I try to OC, most of the time I go a little high, the computer wont give power to monitor, mouse and keyboard so I have to reset CMOS. Any recommendations as to what i should set FSB, Voltage, Ram prefs, Multiplier, and anything else?...

My Athlon XP 2500+ is running at these temperatures as reported in BIOS: CPU: 50C idle, 59C full load Motherboard : 36C idle, 38C full load Room Temp: around 25C to 27C I think Here's my setup: Athlon XP 2500+ Barton (overclocked as 3000+) 186 FSB x 11.5, CPU core raised to 1.86V

My CPU has been runner hotter recently, so I figured it's time to reapply the thermal grease. I already have Arctic Silver III on it, and will replace with Arctic Silver 5. Do I need to clean the old stuff off first, or should I just put it right over the top? Ewan

I have a Diamond Viper 330 PCI graphics card. I believe there was software for overclocking it. Does anyone know where I can find this? Thanks Paul

Is there a centrifugal exhaust fan that mounts in a 5.25" external bay? It would blow air out the front through an otherwise unused drive bay. I found an item having a similar purpose at: http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduct.asp?description=35-888-104 but apparently it's not too durable.
