    What kind of processor can I put in my dv6125 notebook?! Please help

    HIS HD4870 .... Fan speed reading as ZERO?!?!

    Can't really figure this out. Every program I have tried to use is reading the fan speed on the card as zero when it is in actuality turning just fine.

    Just built a new computer (e8400 + IP35-e) ....cpu temp is 98c?!?!?!

    Just got done building a new computer. For some odd reason the cpu temp is reading 98 degress CELCIUS in windows and the bios. I know for a fact the cpu temp is no where near that as I let it run a while and the heatsink is COLD to touch (hyper 212 +). Is there anyway I can get a fan control to...

    e7200 Problems?

    Just got my new e7200 to replace my e6400 in the sig. I immediately flashed my bios to the newest version on my ip35-e and oc'd the e7200 to 3.8 on the first boot ... lol. Vcore is 1.25 and it is rock solid so far. Only problem is the temps are REALLY high. Coretemp is reporting 70c full load...

    *SMOKING HOT* ABIT IP35-e Refurb $9.99 at FRYS B&M

    Went to fry's today to return some stuff and I saw a couple unopened IP35-e refurbs. I picked up one just for a backup @ 9.99 and I think they had only one more left. Couldn't believe it when I saw it! This was at the Burbank Fry's so YMMV. If this isn't hot, I don't know what is! item # 5451239

    World in conflict--> better stablility checker than orthos/prime?

    On two of my overclocked computers that are 48hr orthos stable/occt stable when I play WiC the game always freezes w/ stock video card settings. I just got the game yesterday and tried it on both computers and both of them lock up. When I decreased the clocks everything runs just fine. Could...

    Hottest running e6400 ever?

    Well it's getting closer to summer time and I am a little worried. My e6400, even when underclocked, idles around 47. Decreasing the volts to the lowest they can go and even having speedstep on yielded about 2 degrees. Thinking it was the motherboard I replaced it and the temps didn't change...

    XFX 8800gs

    Got this for my other computer for 89 after tax/shipping/rebate. With an e2200 @ 3 ghz it scores a little over 10k in 3dmark06. Not bad for such a low price! Compared to my rig in the sig with an 8800gt, I cannot tell a difference in games on my 19" monitor! It's a great buy if you can find it...

    Questions about cooling for an 8800gt

    I have heard the accelero s1 is the best when it comes to cooling. Compared to a zalman vf900 what would be the best to make my case not as hot? If I got the accelero s1 I would be adding a 120mm case fan

    Question about heat output...

    With my current rig in the sig my processor always seems to be running hot. Now I just got an 8800gt and my temps increased by around 3-4 degrees (45 idle). Because of this I enabled speedstep but have not notices ANY improvement in temps. Idles at 1.25 volts @ 2.6 with the the same temp! Is the...

    Razer AC-1 Sound Card question

    First of all I got this card to replace an audigy 2zs and let me say it is a VERY BIG IMPROVEMENT in music. Now, my question is under the control panel, w/ logitech z680's, why can't I control the sub? Even under the test where you test each individual speaker they will all respond accordingly...

    Well, got my e2200 last month and after installing windows and getting everything loaded began overclocking. 2.93 was the highest I could go (stock volts albeit) and anything higher wouldn't post without over 1.45 volts.

    e2200 Overclocking

    I'm seeing people with e2200's, e2160's etc hitting 3.2-3.3 on stock volts. I can 'only' hit 3.0ghz at 1.36 volts. After that it takes A LOT of voltage to even post after that. The processor was manufactured on 2/4/08 so I am thinking I just got a bad batch? Well on the flip side it runs...

    e6400 stable at 3.4 w/ stock volts?

    Just upgraded my motherboard and just for kicks I booted it up at 3.4 with 1.3 volts. As I speak it's been running orthos for 12 hours with no problem and load temps are 53 celcius. I don't want to push it any higher but I wonder what it can do!

    SuperPi scores for E6400

    Is it worth it?

    I have a e6400 @ 2.7 along with a Gigabyte s3 motherboard. The thing holding back my OC is undoubtedly the motherboard (can only get up to 338 fsb) Would the new 8400 paired with a new motherboard be a much better upgrade? Or should I wait a little longer for something better to come out?
