    Mac Mini Sized PC

    no offense, because i think its a nice system too, but they are charging a MASSIVE premium for that system. you can get a i3 laptop, and a damn nice one, with ATI or Nvidia graphics for that kind of money. and 1080p on that crap a$$ intel video chip isnt going to work, you will be ranking on...

    I cannot play graphically intensive games without my PC shutting itself off!

    if your card is getting to 110c then you need to cool it better, period and anyone who tells you different has no clue. those cards will start to choke around 80c and the hotter they go the worse they get and 110c is death. take the heatsink off remove and clean any grease thats on it and...

    Decided to buy some new gear

    why the fisheye ? do you really do fisheye work? its rare to find anyone who does enough to justify the cost vs maybe a rental. and the difference in 30D to 40D, i would argue that as i went form a 20D to a 40D and was VERY happy i did. and the 30D and 20D are the same camera. and then i went...

    How hot/cool is your Phenom II

    How hot/cool is your Phenom II

    Astro - i found on mine also that it takes quite a jump in voltage to go from 3.2 - 3.5ghz. not unheard of but somewhat surprising to see such a jump needed. then it sort of levels off, then i need to increase it more. typical overclocking walls we see in most chips.

    How hot/cool is your Phenom II

    if they are both, for example 65nm and both running 1.4v then the math is similar. the real world results are not but we all know that AMD chips run cooler. and yes i know the PII is 45nm. my point was simple and not meant to be taken as a direct comparison, only that an intel running at...

    How hot/cool is your Phenom II

    wow you shouldnt need that much voltage for 200mhz. unless you got a really nasty chip. dont forget that you need to increase your NB and hyper transport too sometimes and not the vcore. but temps you all have given me so far are somewhat on par with mine. using the probes on each side of...

    How hot/cool is your Phenom II

    i always wanted of those monsters. they are showing their age when compared to the naked heatpipe coolers but they are still a great heatsink and appearently, cool the 720BE perfectly fine. these chips at default or overclocked to xxxghz with default voltage are just cool running mofo's. hell...

    How hot/cool is your Phenom II

    well i did more testing last night. putting a temp probe on 2 sides of the cpu with the thermaltake TMG IA1 i am seeing around 45c full load 1.55v 3.8ghz - thats 1 step extra voltage than i really need but i did it purposely to heat up the cpu. idle i am showing 27-30c room temp was 21c if i...

    How hot/cool is your Phenom II

    Interesting temps summer. 1.45v and on 39c. granted these are 45nm chips and only a tricore but,, those are the same temps i am seeing and i dont trust them for 1 minute. i just cant stand not knowing how hot my cpu is....

    How hot/cool is your Phenom II

    yeah i am getting and i apologize for not posting this in the original post (i will add it) 23c idle and 43c load at 1.55v with the thermaltake and about 5deg less with the Sunbeam CCC. room temp is about 21c to me thats impossible. the Sunbeam is a killer heatsink but less than 40c under...

    How hot/cool is your Phenom II

    guys i am trying to gather some info about the temps of the new Phenom II. any of the chips will do but i am more interested in the X3 720 BE than anything else. if you have one of these chips please post the chip the type of cooling you are using and the overclock and voltages being used...

    ICH10R problems, and problems, and more problems

    i 100% agree with you and it is in my roadmap for troubleshooting, i simply am first attempting to see if anyone else has this issue with either this DFI baord or some other baord using the ICH10/R controller, in raid or not. but thanks for the words, its reassuring to see you backing up my...
