Anyway, I'd like to thank all those who bothered replying both with positive and not-so positive comments. I followed someone's advise and checked with ups for the cost of shipping a 5 pound package from California (Orange County, for example) to Raleigh, North Carolina. UPS 2nd Day...

Ok. Here's what's up? I buy a fairly large no. of flash drives off the internet which I send to a friend who retails abroad. Newegg has been my point of purchase for the last two years due to their low prices. Lately, my shipping costs have become outrageous. My current shopping cart contains...

I don't think the fans in general are bad. I think this fan in particular was defective. Spinning in circles, blowing no air fast.

Some Good News!!! Took the pc to the assembly shop to get extra fans added. Told the Dude to give me the best cpu cooler he had. Well, he had no third party fans. The best he had was a pentium 4 cpu fan. So, I said what the heck. Maybe a $9 fan will do the trick. Had it popped in. Core temp...

Thanks will try adding two extra fans and let you know.

But what are your temperatures? and are you using the stock cooling? Just checked and my PC only has 1 fan, which is the cpu fan. Of course, the Psu has one and the vga card has one. What if I added extra fans?

Yes. I was planning on using the e2160 for all the systems. Although this current situation is causing me to rethink some of that.

I now think I may have a problem or two. I downclocked my processor as suggested back to the stock 1.8Ghz (200x9) and to my horror, the idle temperature is 43 degrees centigrade. I'm not sure why it is still this high. I am thinking of changing the fan or trying third party fans. Price-conscious...

Yes. I am using the stock cooler. Alright. I will now try putting the fan at max in the bios and see how that goes. I need suggestions for reasonably priced aftermarket coolers please. REASONABLY PRICED!!!! I have to build about 10 gaming systems for a gaming center I am trying to open up and...

Alright. So far. I went to 2.5Ghz while dropping voltage all the way to 1.285V. Prime 95is running stable for 12 hours on this setting. I have also reduced idle temp to 44 degrees centigrade (coretemp). Load temperatures are still off the chart exceeding 85 degrees centigrade. I don't think my...

Ok. Thanks so much. I'll give these suggestions a try and get back to you guys

I am using the stock cooler and I'm now at 2.700Ghz with a voltage of 1.3500. The original voltage was 1.3250. I am attempting to overclock to 3.00Ghz (333x 9) although that is proving difficult. Any advice will be appreciated.

The temperatures I listed are in centigrades sorry. Does that mean I should downclock the processor if Idle is about 57 degrees centigrade. Never heard aboutabout prime95. I'll try to download that. But, what you are saying is that my temp is too high, eh?? What do you suggest I do?

Thanks so much. I reduced the memory multiplier to 2.00 and it worked. I was able to go as far as (315 x 9) = 2.80Ghz. However, it crashes after 15 minutes of Company of heroes. Reduced it to (300x9) = 2.70Ghz. It all seems to be stable now. Core temp idle is about 57 degress and Company of...

Hello guys, I need your help regarding this overclocking issue. I recently purchased the following Intel Pentium E2160 (1.8Ghz) Gigabyte GA-P31-S3G ATX Motherboard A-data 2gb DDR2 800 (pc2 6400) Seagate 7200 rpm 250gb HD I have tried overclocking the processor using the...
