Okay... here you go: CPUZ and Benchmarks link I threw in some of my benchmarks from Sandra. Believe me, I am not bragging.... I don't know if my results are worth bragging about. Mostly, I am wondering if I am missing something... this just seems too good to be true. Especially because...

Oh, she is noiser than a woman with PMS, but it comes with a very nice speed control system... fits right into the extra floppy drive slot on the front. So, when I am not taxing the CPU, I turn it down. Its almost silent at around 2200 RPM. When I gaming, I usually crank it up to 5500 rpm...

You just hit on my biggest concern... I am afraid that my temps are reporting too low. I've done a search on the P4P800 to see if I could find an issue with temperature reporting, but I haven't been able to find anything. I ain't home right now, but I will certainly post some screen shots of...

The highest I've gotten the RAM to go is 245Mhz. That's why I am running at 5:4 (or is it 4:5?). What I find interesting is that my Memory benchmarks from Sandra are higher if I run my FSB at 272 with 5:4 memory, then if I run FSB at 245 with 1:1. (Plus, the PC just feels faster with...

I wanted to run 2 instances of Prime, but couldn't figure out how to do it. I thought my solution was sufficient, but like I said, I am a noob... do you think I should pursue testing using Primex2? Edit: I found the -a0 and -a1 switches, and am currently running a dual instance prime95 test.

Um... I did that... see above: "They way that I've tested is to run Prime 95 and Sandra Burn-in for 12 hours. (I've done this because I can't seem to get Prime95 to hit 100% utilization, I suppose because of hyperthreading.)" Task manager reported 100% utilization for both "instances".

Let me start this by saying that I've never overclocked before... and am doing so instead of buying a new machine. So, I am by no means an avid OC'er. I have a P4 2.4C (Costa Rica, I believe) on a P4P800SE motherboard and 1 GB of Corsair Value RAM. I have a Thermaltake POLO 735 heatsink and...

I thought that might be the issue, so I went to my local Compusa and picked up an ITE-based RAID controller... identical results. Did you ever get any combination of 2 controllers to work????

I have two Promise RAID Controllers in one PC. One is a TX2200 to handle two SATA drives and a TX2000 to handle my IDE drives. I can't seem to get both cards to be recognized during POST IF an array is defined on both of them. If I have no arrays defined, or only 1 array defined, I can see...
