    Full load, Core i7 multuplier stays at 5x, core speed 663mhz

    Not anymore, no. So it was due to temp. Running at a solid 3.2 ghz now with idle temps in the mid 30s. Cleaned off the CPU (such cheap thermal shit on these stock coolers) and reseated it nice and snug. I ordered a coolermaster 212 anyways because this stock pos scares me. Thanks for...

    Full load, Core i7 multuplier stays at 5x, core speed 663mhz

    Oh I'm sure it's celsius lol. RealTemp shows anywhere from 90-100degrees celsius when idle... When touching the hsf, it's warm but not hot. Are my sensors fubared? There is a thin layer of thermal paste on there from the stock hsf, not too much or too little. I'll post a screenshot when I get...

    PC getting stuck at bios splash screen...

    Sounds like a bad disk; set it up as a slave in your PC and see if Windows can detect it. If it can, disk may be corrupted and needs a format. If not, disk is most likely "dead"

    OK so RealTemp shows insane temperatures under idle. Would the lower clock/multi due to the PC overheating when running prime95?

    Full load, Core i7 multuplier stays at 5x, core speed 663mhz

    So I just built my Core i7 machine and have a bit of an issue. I'm not overclocking but would like my system to reach its potential under full load. When using prime95, my core speed instantly drops to 663mhz with a multiplier of 5x. In addition, system reports idle temps of 85 degrees Celsius...

    I don't know, if you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen. If you're an online business, you should emphasize on checking, double checking, and triple checking your prices. There is no need for things like this to happen if you're smart enough to check ****** before you post it. If you...

    QUestion about keeping computer on

    Whoever says it kills your hard drives keeping the computer on is lying. I had 4 hard drives fail within 2 years by turning off and on my PC daily (these hard drives were less than 3 years old). Ever since I have been keeping it on, no problems since :) Not one of my parts have died from keeping...
