and by the way. watercooling systems are very cheap these days. I spent less than $200 wi th mine, and includes cpu and gpu block, water pump and a 3x120 external radiator. Even the cheapest X2 cost at least $100 more than the 820D. Price/performance/overclockability to me the 820D is...

Well.. perhaps because it gives me fun doing that, and because it was a lot quieter, and because I want to.. Are enough reasons??

if you can cool it enough you will get great ocs. I was able to boot at 4480 (320 fsb), with 1.55v but I'm frying the cpu and it is far away from stable. At 4.2ghz@1.5v I can play games, and do almost everything, but crashes in superpi in less than a minute. at 4ghz is rock solid. Its...

I'm running my system at 4.2 ghz for last month, and latelly it start rebooting random. But its not allways the same way. I can play Quake4 for hours and nothing happen and when I'm browsing it reboots. Yesterday it reboot while idle, doing nothing. It happen already in gaming, but I...

Hi. I get the radiator in one specialized shop near me. I live in Portugal, but I'm sure it should have some shop with this kind of material where you live. Just for curiosity, if you guys want give a look, this is the shop from where I buy all the hardware: Watercooling stuff Just...

Hi. Lapping your cpu just have advantages if you are willing to lose your warranty. Here's a picture that I take from the ocforums that shows what lapping is: CPU My PSU is a LCPower 550W that I buy in promotion. It cost me 50? (around $60). The OC to 4.2 was not stable. But winter is...

I'm using a custom watercooling system. I could see that the cpu wasn't doing a perfect contact by looking at the thermal past. Simple was not uniform. You can see pictures here: Link

Well, no one doubt that the Intel 8** series run hot as hell. I build a new system with a 820D, and like you guys said it runs too hot for my taste. I install my watercool system after run some tests with the stock cooler and with the stock cooler it runs 50º idle and above 64 in load. With...

are your computer overclocked? Mine use to give this error when I push it to much.. If not, try to slower your memory timings in bios. to check event logs you can type at "start-run" eventvwr

or you can just simply type "mstsc /console" ;)

I already had this commented of the news but I say it again here: Well, I think Nvidia still has a large number of users that will upgrade to the 7800gtx if a AGP version will be made. There are millions of agp users, who don't have the latest technology, not for money, but because they...

use ntfs permissions to define the level of access users have. if you use gpedit.msc, under computer configuration - windows settings - security - user rights you have the permissions groups have to perform several tasks. Just add the user to one of those groups to give him that level of...

In fact you SHOULD rename your administrator account. What you shouldn't do is use it. XP create already one other user account for your use, with administrative rights. Leave that account (adminstrator) for troubleshooting purposes. Renaming the administrator account only change is name, not...

you cannot use fdisk on xp partitions/volumes. open disk management (run diskmgmt.msc) and check what partition is your system partition. From there you can change the active partition
