Ok finally got round to trying Everest and Abit uGuru (couldn't find abitEQ). Everest looks like it's displaying the correct voltage (it's fluxuating between 1.112 and 1.120 when idle and sticks to 1.176 at load rather than just saying 1.225 all the time), but when I change the setting in the...

C1E and EIST are both disabled. I'm also using the latest BIOS. Actually RMA'ed a board because it was turning itself on and off before I realised that the board wasn't officially compatible with the 45nm processors :roll:. Had to nick an E4300 from work so I could flash the BIOS. I'll try...

No such luck :( I found one in CPU Features called Thermal Control and disabled that but it doesn't seem to have made any difference. Can't really see anything else in the BIOS that resembles these.

Oops, wrong category sorry. Can one of the admins move it please?

Hey guys, I'm trying to overclock my new computer and have managed up to 370MHz at 1:1 which is stable. I want to push it further but when I increase the VCore in the BIOS the change isn't being reported on CPUZ - it still shows as 1.225v. I've tried increasing it all the way to 1.5v but I'm...

Very true. Good advice, thanks man. Had a little look on overclockers and even if I buy a 1TB F1 drive I still save about £20! Might even be able to juggle it around and get myself a 9800GTX. Will have to read a few more reviews and find out where I can maximise the performance.

Really? I've always thought that there would be advantages in running two drives speed-wise. I heard once somewhere that if you stick the page file on a different drive to the OS then it would speed things up. I suppose it wouldn't make much real-world difference though come to think of it.

Hello chaps, I'm just about to buy a new system for gaming/surfing/blu-ray/dvd/music. Looking to spend no more than £900 (obviously, even cheaper would be better) and was wondering if you can offer any insights/suggestions Here's my current component selection... Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Abit...

Does anyone own, or have any information on this remote for Windows Vista? Seems like it's pretty new so I can't find any proper reviews anywhere but it's definately something that I'd be interested in buying when I get Vista.
