By the way. Can too much voltage damage the processor even if it is plenty cool? Should I just go ahead and try like 1.6?

Thanks. I've also seen vdroop mentioned alot of places and that my board has alot of vdroop. any way to measure this? I've watched cpu-z, speedfan, and gigabyte's application to look at vcore while i put the cpu under load and it doesn't move away from 1.44 volts. That doesn't seem like alot...

Tried 401x6 and it wouldnt even post. RAM at 802mhz (it's stable to ~900mhz). The reason I am thinking it might be a weak processor is that it is not stable at 2.4ghz with less than 1.45 volts. If it's stable at 1.45 volts but not at 1.4 for example, doesn't that mean it's the processor...

thanks... but I have the latest bios (F12) I also tried downgrading to F10 to see if that would make a difference (they added E2160 support in F10) but it's the same if not worse. So far, the e2160 @ 2.4ghz is not a whole lot faster than the pentium 805 @3.0ghz it replaced. At most 10-20%

Isn't it supposed to be a pretty good overclocking board? I put a fan on the northbridge and it's cooled down to below 40 deg now also. Anything else I can do to see higher speeds other than replace the board? (kind of defeats the whole point of buying a cheap proc to go with my current board...

I am also having trouble with my new E2160 on a 965p-s3 v1.0 board F12 bios. I can't get past 2.4ghz! Even at 1.55 volts, it doesnt matter. I have tried everything but I can't get into windows or linux without the computer resetting itself if i am at all past 2.4ghz. 266x9 = 2.4ghz (rock...

I often use quickpar on par2 sets and winrar on huge rar archives. What would be my best bet to improve the performance of these tasks? Are they mostly CPU bound or hard-disk bound? I currently am running a intel pentium 805 not overclocked(mobo sucks) with a 300gb maxtor sata hard drive...

100megabit network connection is about 12.5 megabytes/second. I dont know about you, but all the drives i've had in the past ten years or so can beat an STR of 12.5 megabytes/second. Kwatt: I would definately recommend the gigabit network card. SATA300 vs SATA150 will get you virtually no...

Vista to/from my fileserver is suddenly less than a 5th the speed that it used to be. fileserver to/from media center is still normal speed. I rebooted both computers. Any ideas what I can do to troubleshoot this? Everything else seems like normal speed. Could this be an issue with the...

I used to use the up arrow all the time too and missed it in Vista.. I found the thumb button on my MS mouse perfect for quickly going back.

Is anyone getting a bunch of things crashing all the time? I keep getting Rundll, COM Surrogate, and IE7 crashing. the crashing never bring down the system, but it's just annoying as hell. Should I reinstall or what? Screen Shot

Is this compatible with MCE?? (is it a hardware or software mpeg encoder?)

wtf rebate form says must be post marked 14 days after purchase and must be purchased before 12/15/06 i guess i have to cancel the order since who knows when they will ship it BTW they charged my card the next day even though they havent shipped yet. i thought i saw in one of their emails...

On the shelf at my local Staples this was marked as $20 - $10 MIR = $10. I bought one and the rebate form didnt print out, I asked about it, the manager couldn't find it and just credited my credit card $10 + tax. YMMV but a great deal if you can get it! Text

This is my first time dealing with buy.com and they still haven't shipped my Diamond xtreme sound dolby digital card. It says "on order".. is this company usually this slow, or is it just because of all the orders they have flooding in due to the GCO deal?
