    Just bought a 1 gig TBird hoping to overclock to [edited](1.4), which heatsink should I get?

    Plenty of 1.0s hit 1.5. Any higher end heatsink can do it, just gotta get the right chip. 1.4-1.5 was entirely possible from many of the AXIA and AVIA batch, but not all of em for sure. I had a 1.0 that was pretested i gotta add, it did 1.485 stable and 1.507 somewhat stable with a shafty...

    Should i take my chances with a 1.33gig from newegg, or buy a Pretested 1gig@1.5-1.6?

    with a good P/S any AYHJA 1.33 should hit 1.6+ otherwise 1.5 is an average point for the 1.33 of any batch. I think you'd have better luck with the 1.33.

    Overclocking KT7A 900 T-Bird... newbie Questions

    you might be able to 9x133 (1197), but in the odd chance you cant you will have to unlock the cpu to lower the multiplier

    Abit KT7A raid bus speed limit???

    I just got my kt7a and was running my tbird 750 @ 7x150 and it was perfectly stable, until you went to 3d games....my UT crashed randomly and Deus Ex had a whole bunch of artifacts and stability issues. It has to do with the pci/agp speed i believe, but it doesnt really matter, im quite...

    Power problems on KT7

    Hi folks, I am having an annoying problem with my graphics card, which is obviously caused by a lack of power to the agp slot, and causes the computer to lock up, and fail to post video until it is reset at least once. Mostly it only occurs in games, (Unreal Tournament rarely, Midtown Madness 2...

    Desktop Security

    LOL I guess i should have been specific....a program that will bypass the atx power switch...i know if someone really wanted to shut it off they could just unplug it, but thats not what im talking about. In case of brief electrical outage i have a UPS, but the main thing i had to worry about...

    Desktop Security

    Hi folks, I am wondering if there is a program out there that will not only lock out my computer when im not there, but also prevent it from being shut off. The method I was using before to lock out my computer was to have a boot up pw, and a SS pw. It locked out the computer totally, but didnt...

    little green lines

    Hi, I have a Kt7 and i have had those crashes with the green lines.....its not the KT7 at all....if you have an nvidia based video card running detonator 3 drivers, you need to disable fastwrites and agp 4x....I was using agp 4x for the longest time with the detonator 3 drivers, but was getting...

    Intel or AMD ( :confused; )?

    notice how the AMD guys give nice long rational advice and state the reasons for their opinions. The intel guys simply say : 'intel' cause thats all intel is....its not superior technology, its just a brand name that ppl refuse to admit is not the best any more...seeing as how you can buy a...

    The Overclockerz store is SUCK!!!!

    I dont have any issue with the quality of OCZ products, and I think that buying pretested chips is a great way to do things. the problem with the overclockerz store is that they hire idiots, and take forever to ship things. I ordered a tbird 700@900 slotA for 210.99. they charge my CC 4 days...

    Is that possible to O/C Celeron 433 to 1000+?

    that seems like a load of #%$@#^ to me... celeron 433s are based on the old .25 process that could barely hit 600, maybe 700 tops with watercooling/peltiers. the 533 and 566 celerons can sometimes hit 1g+, but you gotta have some extreme cooling, and top notch components before you even think...
