    Moving from E4300 to q6600, some OC questions

    Pretty much every single MP4 encoder supports multiple processors. A 2 hour video takes about 3.5 hours using a single core. I set it to 4 cores, 2 physical each of them with that Intel "hyperthreaded' cpu, down to about an hour and fifteen. With a 4 core, or 8 virtual cores, I should be...

    Moving from E4300 to q6600, some OC questions

    I have a E4300 running at 3.2ghz no problem since April. I'm doing a lot more video encoding and the software supports multithreading. I was going to switch to a Q6600. If I can run the 4300 at 3.2 should I be able to run the 6600 at near the same speed? This is on a Gigabyte DS3 board...

    Stumped - Random reboots and failure reloading XP

    I've been away for a few days but I tried out the Ultimate Boot CD, its a Linux distro with a bunch of nice low level hardware diags. Boot it up and run CPUtest and the computer will not respond to CONTROL-C but will respond to CNTRL-ALT-DEL. Ran Memtest, it locks up within 3 seconds and...

    *** Official Gigabyte P965-DS3 Thread ***

    Short lived excitement :) Booted up, loaded the Nvidia drivers, all was well. The video issues went away but it still insists on being at a 1.0 for video performance. Downloaded the Adrianne demo, so slow and sound break up constantly. I had this on the Foxconn board and then it went...

    *** Official Gigabyte P965-DS3 Thread ***

    Glenn, Thanks for the link. That fixed it right up! Runs great so far. Running a E4300 at 2.4ghz right now and will go farther once I play around with it a bit more. Only 2 minor problems. When swapping to the admin permission screen it gets jumbled instead of going dark. Also the...

    Glenn, Thanks I'll be searching. I fixed the drive issue...don't know how exactly, just went back through the entire procedure again. I'm back to the BSOD and lock up on CRCDISK.SYS.

    *** Official Gigabyte P965-DS3 Thread ***

    Help! I had a Foxconn P965 board that I liked but the OC options were nil. I decided to swap out to a DS3 and moved over my hardware. This stuff is less than 2 weeks old so I know none of the carry over equipment is defective. I had the old system running RAID 0 off of the ICH8R...

    OC Cheat Sheet

    I haven't overclocked a CPU since I bought a Celeron 300 and got it to 450mhz. I never really saw the need for it since the cost of ram and other equipment outweighed the price difference of the chip. Plus I never wanted the fastest, just stable. I do a lot of side work and...
