    Staples 2/17-2/23 Ad up

    Picked up the Microsoft wireless kb/mouse yesterday. Really needed it for my HTPC system and my new 47" HDTV 1080p. Can't beat the price of $15 for a quality wireless kb/mouse!

    IT'S BACK 24" Soyo LCD for $299. @ Office Max is back

    Just picked up two myself as I missed it last time. Brand new as they were properly wrapped. That's the one thing I was worried about. What if I got the ones that were returned the last time? So far so good. No dead or stuck pixels, no humming or buzzing sound and both DVIs work. Going to...

    my e6600 is super cold

    Install Intel TAT or CoreTemp and see if the temps are the same. These two programs actually read the true temp from a probe inside the CPU itself. That would give you a more likely reading on what the temp actually is.

    What would make an OC unstable?

    *** Official Gigabyte P965-DS3 Thread ***

    CoreTemp is the one to believe as it reads the true temp of the core while EasyTune & Smartfan just read the temp outside of the core. My Temps using a E6400@3.3Ghz 1.35v with CoreTemp are 42C Idle, 55C Load.

    Core2 System Concern

    That Ultra X Finity 500W should be more than enough power. I also have that in my C2D rig with a E6400 overclocked to 3.3Ghz, 4 SATA drives, 2 DVDRW drives and 6 80mm fans connected.
