Hello. I had a C2D E4300 with a Abit QuadGT Motherboard. I installed it with the stock heatsink using Arctic Silver thermal paste (very sparingly). It didn't work. So I unplugged everything to send motherboard back but I noticed the heatsink contact surface which is circular seems to have hardly...

Cher Didier, Bon ben le chat n'est pas si malade que ça, d'après le véto. Donc je vais bien en France et ne serai pas présent mercredi. Amitiés fraternelles, à toi et à tous les Frères. Michel C.

I just got an AMD Athlon 64 3500+ (manchester core) and a msi K8T Neo2 v2.0 mobo bundle. I though it was a good deal before i realised it was 64bit!There was no fan with the bundle so the store threw in an akasa lo-noise cooler which had thermal grease pre-applied.Idle my processor runs at 26/27c...

Ho la scheda madre in oggetto con dissipatore Artic Freezer 7 montati in un case Xaser2 thermaltake. Il problema è il seguente. Se disabilito tutti i controlli automatici di velocità la ventola sta 2600/2700 giri fissa raffreddando alla perfezione infatti la cpu sta a temperature inutilmente...

Using Patriot PDC22G8500ELK DDR2-667/PC8500 1 GByte modules overclocked to DDR2-1200 (FSB 1200 MHz, Memory Clock : CPU Clock ratio = 2:1) Room Ambient Temperatu 28 C Memory Heatsink temperature ~ 45 - 50 C CPU cooling: Stock Intel boxed, retail heatsink/fan This overclock is stable with...

I've been reading this group for a while now, and have learned a lot about OC'ing, temperature management, and much more. I now have my system at a very stable point with noticeable performance improvements, and acceptable cooling performance. I thought my setup description might prove useful to...

Hi! As topic suggests, what would be the fastest option for a boot system? a 10Krpm sata 1 drive or a 7.2Krpm sata2 drive, would the higher rpm make up for the lower bandwidth of sata 1 or would sata2 rule over the higher rpm? (this for the drive that would hold OS and games and to give best...

Me: C2D E4300, Abit QuadGT, Zalman 9700 Cousin: C2D E6600, Asus Commando, Tuniq Tower Basically, I'm trying to settle an arguement. My cousin has a C2D E6600, he messed up the BIOS flash and sent off the motherboard for replacement (Asus Commando). In the meantime, I bought an E4300, mobo,...

Hi all , i have a wireless router at home , and i would like to know , the wireless connection between notebook and router is half- duplex or full-duplex ? thanks a lot Oleg

Hi all. I'm currently looking into buying some new RAM for my Notebook (Core2 Duo at 133x(6-12) Mhz, Intel i945PM-Chipset). There are two SO-DIMM-Slots, one of them currently holds a module of 1 GiB, 533Mhz DDR2 RAM. The plan is to buy another module of the same size and speed, and take advantage...

Hi! Tried this in the asus.mainboard first but got no reply, so hoping some of you cooling gurus might help (After all, overclocking is much about cooling the cpu). I'm looking for suggestions of good cooling solution for the Striker Extreme board (with the heatpipe setup space is limited as I...

According to my motherboards' software overclocking utilty(Superstep) the 12V line doesn't look good.All the others(3,3v,5v) etc. are stable.This is at idle. Mobo is Winfast NF4UKAA-8EKRS w/2gb ddr.Power supply is Ultra X-finity 500W SLI.Video card is Nvidia 7900GS. I have 24 pin to motherboard...

I head that the EVGA 680i boards are eally great overclockers, but I was wondering if there were any others out there that had 2 IDE ports. I love the EVGA boards, but they only have 1 IDE and I have a couple of old harddrives that I want to use and need more than 1. I was looking at the MSI...

I'm still playing with my ASUS P5N-E SLI E6600, with an eVGA 8800 GTS video card and 2GB Corsair 6400 memory system running Vista Ultimate. I had a stable setup at 3.0GHz, memory at 400 MHz, 4,4,4,12,2T, running well. I then tried several video OC'ers, and settled on the ATITool as working...

I have the Asus P5B-Plus and a C2D 6420. First Intel since my Pentium 166. Thought I knew the steps, but I must be missing something. 2 Gig GSkill DDR2 800 set to run at 533 (Lots of headroom, right?) AI Overclocking set to manual. RAM voltage to 2.1v Tried upping the FSB from 266 to 300. No...

Greetings. I have a 3 general questions. If I understand my readings so far, the FSB (Front Side Bus) is the speed at which the CPU delivers / accepts data outside of itself. The processing speed of the CPU is rated by the FSB multiplied by a number set by the manufacturer, which seems to be...

I have just installed Asus Probe II and it gives all voltages and MB/CPU temps only. Voltages given are Vcore, +3.3, +5,+12, 1.2VHT, SB Core, CPU VTT (had alarm on this because default voltage was 1.38v...had to lower to 1.25v to get rid of alarm), DDR2 Term, NB Core, Memory, CPU Temp, MB Temp...

Hi, all concerned: I've been grieving over the FSX slide show from the XP3000+, 2G PC3200, and 7600 SLR g machine . . . actually got it tweaked to low-teens of grainy sliders-left wallpaper. You know, turn everything off with enditall & autoruns, and so on and on and on with latency, ratio,...

I just spotted an offer of an Intel 6600 CPU, Asrock 945 G Micro ATX mobo and 4GB of DDr2 667 Ram all for £249 + p&p. Is this worth it or should I look elsewhere. Current system = AMD Opteron 144 (2.6GHz) Giga byte TritonK8N Sli mobo 2GB DDR ram. TIA Robin
