Hey all. I just upgraded to a MSI Z68-GD65 G3 and 2600k! I'm using a CM Hyper 212+ cooler, and would like to get 5.0GHz if possible. I have read several guides but am having trouble going past 4.5GHz, and wanted to post my bios settings to verify.
Also concerning Quick Sync, I enabled the IGP...
I am using an HP EliteBook 8730w with Core 2 Duo T9400 2.53GHz and upgraded 8GB ram, running Windows Server 2008 R2 with Hyper-V role. There will be a handfull (about 5-8) virtual machines running. I know this a bit much for a C2D laptop, but I am trying to make the most of it, and I would like...

AMD Phenom II X2 550 Black Edition CPU
I built this PC for a friend (motherboard is open box from Newegg). First, I updated the bios, attempted core unlocks but was not stable. Overclock to 3.6 GHz was fine, and overclocked the GPU...
I was just wondering how much performance difference there might be between Phenom II and Athlon II processors. I am making a build for a friend, not a gaming machine. But it is always nice when a computer is very snappy when navigating Windows and using apps etc.
Athlon II X2, X3, and X4 are...
Hi everyone. I read a lot of the overclock guide sticky for core 2 processors, but I would still like some help. I think I need a simplified version. I am using Intel Q9550 and MSI P45 Platinum board. My goal is at least 4GHz. Thanks very much.
I would like to buy a CPU that I found for sale. It is not on eBay, so I don't know if PayPal will offer buyer protections. How can I safely buy an item from an individual that I do not know?

I am building a new system and am trying to keep a very low budget. I was going to use an E5200 and try to get 4.0ghz, but I decided that I could probably find a good buy in the used market on a quad core, and it would be worth the extra. The problem is that I am having a hard time finding...
