i see that new CPUs have the multiplier within. But I recall that old board had a jumper for setting the multiplier. Am I then right in assuming that the old CPUs that went in those old boards had no multiplier of their own? where do they get the multipiler number from like 10.5 or 9. A signal the...

Hi, I have an XP2500 Barton core CPU and I would like to try and overclock it to 2200Mhz. I have done some initial tests and I can't seem to overclock the CPU at all. Increasing the FSB by only a few MHz causes windows to fail to boot. An attempt to clock the FSB to 200MHz results in windows...

I am trying to overclock my old K6 (NOT K6-2, as in no 3D-NOW) as much as possible to use it for an emu machine and to record TV shows w/ the TV tuner card. The stock speed is 300 MHz and it's one of the new (well, relatively) .25 micron K6 chips. First, would you recommend lapping the heat...

Does anyone have any experiences with either the Antec TPII 550EPS12V or the Cooler Master Real Power 550 power supplies? They both are rated at 550 watts, with ATX 12V 2.01 and EPS 12V 2.1. The Cooler Master has a power output meter and a blue fan, so I am kind of leaning towards it. any...

Hello all, I didn't get any replies last time, so I thought I'd try again. I know that this is being discussed in several threads, but I wanted to take it in a new direction. I am looking at switching to a water-cooling system for my computer. It is configured as follows: Intel P4 3.0GHz (stock...

I helped a friend build a computer today. He bought a tube of Arctic Silver III and had a lot left over .. gave it to me. A month ago or so I bought and installed a Zalmans 7000 cu. I didn't have any heat issues, just wanted to quiet things down. I love it .. it's on my P4 2.4 gig. and runs nice...

I own an old AOpen AX64 MoBo. I know a bios update can't give me a wider range of possible FSB that Bios offers because these are the only ones supported by the clock generator of my motherboard (ICWorks W144H). But, is the clock multiplier a bios issue or is it related to hardware as this is the...

AMD Stock is going down on the market, while Intel Stock is going up, slow for sure. But if AMD was so good, why is it that Intel Stock is on a slow rise, while AMD Stock is going down. Even in my area, where people have little $$ They put out more money in Intel chips then AMD's Chips. Even if...

I mentioned here a while back that I was going to upgrade my E4500 @ 3.32GHz/1.375V for an E7300 and that I was hoping to get 4GHz out of it. Sadly I was aiming a bit high. After much non-POSTing, not loading Windows, BSODs and Prime fails I found that it topped out at 3.6GHz but that it...

Has anyone in the newsgroup had this experience today (September 18)? I've received over 40 messages from Microsoft today, most with attachments warning of the importance of security. The messages are in html and the contents seem to be legitimate, and the 'smart' URL's are legitimate, BUT...

Most modern CPUs have the capability to report their temperature -- shows up in bios stats. Seems to me as measured by CPU self report, liquid cooling, which costs over two hundred dollars, does not get you anything markedly better than air cooling, which costs about forty dollars. Has anyone...

Is that server processors the cut the prices on or desktop or whatever? thanks, I saw on Digg they (Intel) were cutting there prices and I just can't stand it anymore, so what's the best bang/buck now? heh, I don't think AMD can beat this price if it's desktop cpu's there talking about, thanks...

My dad is using my old CPU, which is a single-core 3500+. He likes having numerous anti-spyware, anti-virus and other utilities running, despite my repeated warnings about them slowing the machine up. My question, therefore, is will the dual-core 3600+ X2 2GHz processor show an improvement over...

Hi, I got a Biostar M7NCD motherboard that says it can support 400Mhz FSB. I bought a new AMD 3200 XP+, 400FSB CPU and 512MB PC3200 Memory to go with it. I wanted to run it with FSB speed of 400Mhz. The default BIOS setup is for 200Mhz FSB and the BIOS menu does not let me change it to anything...

IT says here that Intel is cutting some prices (October 26): www.digitimes.com/NewsShow/Article3.asp?datePublish=2003/10/06&pages=A1&seq=2 ....although I can't imagine the 2.4 would cost the same as the 2.6 in the new pricing...

Hi, I haven't even tried overclocking this CPU yet as at stock standard settings it seems to be far too hot to start with. I am running a Prescott CPU on an ASUS P4P800 Deluxe motherboard using the latest BIOS 1016, CPU is a 2.80E, running at 2800Mhz, using the 800Mhz FSB with Dual 3200 DDR. The...

when assembling my system i used a thermaltake cooler with arctic silver ceramique. if i want to try out a new heatsink can it actually be removed...? the specs on ceramique say it can be cleaned off and doesn't mention adhesive properties... but i've tried and although it swivels a bit indicating...
