    OC problem with x2 4200+

    Like I said, I can't downgrade my BIOS because the older version doesn't support dual core CPUs (leading to numerous, random crashes).

    OC problem with x2 4200+

    Okay I found the Hyper Transport Multiplier and that is not what I changed to x11. I changed the CPU Multiplier to x11, exactly as the review implied. The voltage also wasn't too high, so I don't believe what I was doing was threatening my CPU at all. Additionally, while I found "Load Default...

    OC problem with x2 4200+

    If the HTT multiplier is at 3x, then that means my clock will be at 240x3=720mhz, right? Or is the HTT multiplier different from the "11" in 240x11? EDIT: I tried 400x6.5 at auto vcore and at 1.625 vcore, as well as 240x11 at 1.625 vcore (I can't go higher than 400mhz and so if I still want...

    OC problem with x2 4200+

    I set the mhz to 240 and the multiplier to 11, just like the AnandTech guide suggested (here). That's the only change I made and it worked perfectly from AIBooster, though never from the BIOS. VCore was set to automatically change I believe.

    AMD or Intel? From a gaming perspective.

    AMD>Intel any day. Read benchmarks and reviews to find out why.

    OC problem with x2 4200+

    For a few months after I bought my computer, I used AIBooster (a program that came with my motherboard - an ASUS A8N-E) to overclock to 240x11 at the recommendation of the AnandTech review. Everything was fine for a few months until I updated my BIOS and AIBooster decided to un-overclock my...

    Intake/Exhaust Setup

    The two different fan size setups are for two different cases, two different computers, and two different people. The 3x 120mm is for me and the new case with the 1x 120mm and 2x 80mm is for my friend. For my friends case, the front fan is obviously intake and the rear is exhaust. The front...

    Intake/Exhaust Setup

    Well I am trying it...the first setup with the 3x 120mm is already in use. I just want to know if a different setup is better. As for the second one, the case was just ordered. Plus, it takes only a minute or two for someone to type up a response but a lot longer to reverse the fans and test the...

    Intake/Exhaust Setup

    I recently got a new computer with 3x 120mm fans and I'm wonder what the setup should be. I have one fan in front, one on the side, and one in back. Currently, I have the front as intake and the others as exhaust and my temps are quite low (30/45-ish for my CPU). What is the most ideal setup...

    blank screen on boot up

    My friend is building a new computer. When we boot up the computer, nothing shows on the monitor and there are no bios beeps. I tested the CPU, PSU, and RAM (not all at once) on another computer and everything worked fine. The motherboard being used is a refurbished ECS KT600A. I swapped the...

    New build powering down after 5-40 seconds

    I have both an antec psu (antec 500w truepower I believe) and an asus nf4 (asus a8n-e) mobo and my computer works perfectly. Maybe your psu/mobo is damaged?
