    Whom is still rocking an Athlon / Phenom II (even X6), or a Core2Duo/Quad? X58 users too.

    Our favorite satirist says TSMC will give initial 20nm exclusively to Apple

    I hear AMD has been cutting back on it's advertising budget :p I wonder if this will lead to AMD and Nvidia changing Fabs, maybe they are waiting for Samsung to call them?

    Are you saying that buying a 750W for my dual core Athlon was over kill?

    Underclocking

    my cpu in my acer laptop was running at 90C too. I fixed this by replacing the thermal grease between the cpu and the heatsink. It now is at 70C and it runs faster as it no longer slows down the cpu.

    Flashing 9800gt to 8800gt to SLI

    Flashing 9800gt to 8800gt to SLI

    I have an XFX 8800GT that I want to SLI. However as the 8800GT is being phased out it is becoming harder to buy them. New 9800Gt's are cheaper than 8800GT's. So is it possible to flash this (http://www.playtech.co.nz/prod...on=showdetail&id=5763) with an 8800GT Bios? Thanks

    AMD 6400 overheating

    My Gpu stays cool so it is not that. Could the shut downs be caused because of the 500w psu?

    AMD 6400 overheating

    I cannot find the problem. I have an AMD 6400+ at 3.2ghz with a Xfx 8800GT Alphadog gpu and silverstone 500W psu. Lately when I play some games eg crysis my computer randomly turns off. I have noticed that my cpu temps reach around 63c under load which to my understanding is the max the cpu can...
