    Had my OC at settings in Signature for 2-3 days running stable. Then just a few hours ago starting getting Windows XP errors for " Entry point not found" for Explorer.exe, Rundll32.exe, etc linked to the dynamic link library. Would lock up or crash to reboot. Sometimes make it back into...

    Is it necessary to turn up your FSB and MCH voltage?

    no. Others have far more expertise in OC then me. But I try to run my OC settings at the lowest voltages that they remain stable in stress testing. Less power, Lower Temps, Win-Win. I will say that I have had to crank up the voltage a little over time on a couple of systems. Don't know...

    GA-x48-DQ6 build

    Markfw900 Sounds like that might have been the CPU cooler to get for me, instead of the 9700. But I have had good results from the Zalman before. Good news, with just 2 sticks of the 1Gb of memory, and default Win XP install on the Seagate, no issues. F6 version of BIOS was on the...

    GA-x48-DQ6 build

    The good news, it didn't blow up, The bad news, once again I leave a blood trail in my case. Zalman 9700 did it to me again, use to be the case did it, but that CPU cooler has nailed me my last 2 builds. Lesson one, on a Antec 900 case your Positive/with current wires for the Pwr, Reset...

    X48 anywhere?

    Well I am bumming. Got my Excaliberpc, X48 motherboard a min ago, but it was the DDR3 version GA-X48T-DQ6 , not the DDR2 version I ordered, GA-X48-DQ6. If I didn't already have the 4 Gb of DDR2 1066 , I would probably just have kept it. It's a more expensive Boad. Would LoL, but...

    EasyTune 5 Pro "Good tool for overclocking?"

    Have a GA-X48-DQ6 enroute. I have only done modifications in BIOS. Does anyone have + / - comments regarding this Gigabyte utility? I am planning on OC'ing my E3110 and DD2 1066. But I have never tried using a utility to do it, other then my Graphics Card. Regards.

    X48 anywhere?

    Ordered a GA-X48-DQ6 from excaliberpc.com, about 30 mins ago. Had 3 left. Can't vouch for the company, new customer to them, but like you I have been hunting for days, and they just updated with some in stock. Hope this helps, regards.
