The way we are moving fast to higher speeds. If the company's keep progressing the way they are, we will end up @ a speeds of encoding video that no hard drive can keep up with. It ends up that a bottleneck is already here, or almost. We have CPU's that can do GB's per Sec. But HDD only does do @...

My pentium4 2GHz runs without problems or crashes, even in benchmarks or games @ 2,2 GHz with some safety. When I make a torture test with Prime95 I have to reduce it to about 2,15 GHz or it says 1 error occured after some hours (rounding failure). So what do you suggest? Can I experience problems...

Hello, All! I have the A8V and Athlon64 3000+. Checking via EverestHome I find that this is a Rev 1.x board. I've read comments, without details, that this combo can not be overclocked. I've also seen comments that others 'thought' later bios revisions solved a locked multiplier problem. Those in...

Hi guys Get ready to laugh at my stupidity. I managed to fry my old Athlon 3200XP the other day and since replacing it my temperature readouts are always -58C in SmartFan and 198C in the BIOS. And conviniently, as 256 - 58 = 198 I'm thinking I've clearly ****** the thermometer too somehow.

Do you have the manual, or have you tried to download the manual from the GigaByte website? Three points; your CPU is a Celeron D CPU based on the same process as the Prescott Pentium 4 CPUs, and consequently uses a lot of power and will run hot - this may make overclocking more difficult (the CPU...

I just recently had to reformat my Athlon XP system because I tried to overclock my GPU (UGH!!!)!! I decided to try and tweak a few things today and I cut back the FSB clocking on my Athlon XP 2800+ and I played a few games that are graphics intensive. I noticed better performance in the...
