Hello, I am setting up a home theater from my computer and I need to know what version of PowerDVD 8 I need. System: Processor: Conroe Core 2 Duo E6700 Graphx: Nvidia BFG Tech 8800 GTXOC Ram: 4 gigs OS: Windows Vista Premium 64bit Optical: LG Blu-ray/DH DVD rom Will the cheap...

I have a Conroe E6700 core 2 duo working with a Gigabyte GA-965P-S3 motherboard, and 4 gigs of Corsair dual channel TWIN2X2048-6400C4PRO (DDR2 800). My question is this: to achieve a faster machine, is it better to lower the CPU multiplier and raise the FSB? My quarry originates from the...

I am using coretemp to monitor the temperatures, so if it reads higher than the CPU temp, then I should be ok; however, both cores read at the same temperature most of the time. The fan I'm using is an older Coolmaster fan where it has brass vertical heatsinks topped by a fan, augmented by...

Hello, I have recently dabbled with overclocking my CPU and I want to check to make sure my temperatures are safe. I'm running a Core2Duo E6700 2.6ghz processor on a Gigabyte GA-965P-S3 ver. 1.1. I'm overclocking my CPU to 3.2ghz; FSB overvoltage - +.1v; MCH overvoltage - +.1v; CPU voltage...

Perfect! I'll do the testing. One last question; n00bishness again. Would you suggest that I remove the 1ghz slow ram (ddr2 667 2x512), or keep them in and see how it affects my stability? Here are my overvoltage controls which are tested not by me, but by...

What would you guys suggest? After tweaking a bit I realized that the max depended upon the multiplier; please excuse my n00bness. Would you suggest I run at a 350x10, or run a higher front side bus with a lower multiplier. Does it make any difference as long as I'm reaching the 3.5 ghz...

I removed the ddr2-667 ram, and discovered that I had to utilize the system memory multiplier, which i adjusted to 2. But I can still only get to about a 350 FSB. Therefore, if i had ddr2-1000 ram, I would be able to overclock at higher speeds while using the system memory multiplier?

I have done a good amount of research concerning stable overclocking rates for my GA-965p-S3. In fact this web site has an overclocking guide specifically for my motherboard. It seems to me that everyone who has overlooked this motherboard has been able to reach a stable FSB of 450. I on the...

How do you check out the ampage on the 12v power line? As far as hard drives and optical drives go: sata hard drive hard dirve floppy dvd rom 3 ram sticks equaling 1.5g ram network card sound card: audigy and obviously the video card. What kind of power supply would you recommend...

Ok, i know this problem has come up many times, but it seems that there is no solution to mine in particular. I recently built a new comp with pcie. The BFG tech Nvidia card i have is a pcie 6600 gtoc, and no there is no molex connector on the card itself, it is powered through the pcie slot. I...
