    Overclockers & Mikewarrior2: o/cing + Prime95 round off errors + temperatures question. Help appreciated!

    Mikewarrior2: yup, it's maxed out at 1.85v - that's as far as my mobo can go without getting dirty with voltage mods. Just a thought, but from your experience, does a SUDDEN rise in ambient temps of 4-5c in 5 minutes (i.e. crank up the heater) cause the CPU to be unstable?

    Overclockers & Mikewarrior2: o/cing + Prime95 round off errors + temperatures question. Help appreciated!

    Hey guys, Previously, while running @ 954MHz (9x106), I noticed that round off errors in Prime95 start popping out once my temperatures (as measured by mobo) hit 55c (ambient temp of 24c). After installing the WBK38 HSF + ASII, I upped the speed to 1007 (9.5x106) and get temps of 37c idle and...

    What's the correlation between cpu/gpu performance & temperatures?

    I was surfing around and came accross this article: http://www.2cooltek.com/geforce3.html It claims that the gfx card performed 50% better in 3dMark2001 after using a particular cooler WITHOUT o/cing. Coming from a reputable retailer, i'm just curious, but assuming the same MHz, would a cpu/gpu...

    needed: gaming machine option 1: T-Bird 800Mhz @ 800Mhz on KT133 mobo option 2: Duron 800Mhz @ 800Mhz on KT133A mobo note: well the t-bird certainly has more cache but the kt133a chipset has better memory scores on average i heard... so which choice yields better performance? it's either-or...

    quick one: what's the maximum agp/pci bus speed without frying nic & sound card on a kt133 mobo?

    so does that mean chances are, i won't fry any pci/agp cards on a kt133 mobo then? out of curiosity, what then is the max agp/pci bus speed for a nic/sound card/gfx card for any given mobo (ie kt133a)?
