    I've never seen a CPU Pin break like this

    Its never happened to me, but I have seen people with this problem. Most of the time, its cause but the heatsink getting stuck to the CPU and when you try to pull it off, the CPU comes with (without releasing the locking lever). Good luck, it sounds like you actually have a chance!

    Will Going To 8GB Affect My Q6600 Overclock?

    I've been running my ram 1:1 with my CPU at default speeds for a while, without any issues. I haven't tried to OC since I installed the 2nd kit but It's running fine at DDR2-1066 @ 5-5-5-15 2T.

    Gigabit Network Performance

    Any ideas how to implement the same kind of settings on a Vista machine? My machine in my signature below is running Vista Business 64-bit and it starts off copying at 500Mbps and slowly trickels down to 100Mbps. Thanks

    Gigabit Network Performance

    Well, the NAS is running Windows 2003 Server Standard Edition. It's really quite annoying. I have about 1.5TB of data to move, and it'll take over 10 hours to do it. I've been able to squeeze a little more out of the file transfers. I've seperated my folders into 4 groups and started...

    Q6600 and DDR2 800 overclock question

    I<m running those setting on my rig. They work fine. The G0 stepping Quad cores are pretty much made for running 333FSB. *cough* the G0 was the reason they went from QX6800 (266FSB) to QX6850 (333FSB) As for the memory, you will get better performance with 800MHz 5:6 than 667MHz 1:1

    Q6600 or wait for Q9450

    From the benchmarks i've seen, the Q9300 is 6% faster on average. So expect a little more lie 10-12% because of the higher clock and double the L2 Cache.

    striker ii won't overclock :(

    It sounds a lot like the problems I was having with my Striker Extreme. With the new BIOS (1305) I could not get past 2700MHz with my Q6600. I had to get BIOS 1301 to get high clocks. Since the Striker II is a very new board, you may be stuck. I don't knwo if there are other BIOS revisions that...

    8800GT 512MB at 90+C

    BFG is not the problem when it come to the cooler, pretty much everyone uses the reference design. I say RMA the card. Its probably just the heat sink that is incorrectly seated. Next time, get an eVGA, you can do whatever you want to them and never void the warranty. eVGA actually allows you to...

    Asus Striker II Formula and enabling sli

    I most likely operates like the 680i ASUS boards, in which case the blue ones at the electrical 16x slots, and the white one is electrical 4x. The blue ones are for the video cards in SLI.

    What does coretemp say for your temperatures?

    System dies when restoring default settings

    The clear cmos jumper is usually within 2cm of the battery. Or just pull the power cord and remove the battery for 10 minutes. I'd say its more of a bios issue for the failed post. As for the rest... run memtest and a hard drive test. Usually hard drive manufacturers offer a diagnostic tool...

    Decided not to go 5000+; Help me figure out Proc/Mobo mATX

    If you're using DDR400, you're currently using Socket 939. That 5000+ processor is AM2... you will need a new mobo and ram for that...
