    Official I7 920 safe operating temperature range?

    woah @ the 80 degree celcius! Watch out, you could burn your chip sooner or later. I would try sticking to the 3.8 that you had.

    Are AMD "black edition" processors any good?

    I think it would be good especially if you're running an AMD motherboard and you're on a budget. Plus you want to overclock moderately, but not significantly or crazy. So this could be for you. Just my opinion.

    AMD CPU RMA?

    I bought this CPU brand new. Upon asking MSI, they said they had flashed the bios during the RMA. I bought an AMD 64 X2 5400BE. Its the black edition cpu.

    AMD CPU RMA?

    Hi I have an AMD cpu which I haven't been using for a couple months because I thought the motherboard had problems. Upon doing RMA for my MSI motherboard, I come to the conclusion that the CPU that I bought has come on DOA. By rule, as I understand from newegg, they have a 30-day return...

    MSI Rma sends me a dirty and broken board as a replacement for my basically brand new board

    MSI Rma sends me a dirty and broken board as a replacement for my basically brand new board

    I also sent mine for RMA too (MSI K9N2 SLI Platinum) and when I got it, it was the exact same motherboard that I sent. So I technically don't know what did they "fixed". When putting all my components together, nothing works. I still get the red LED indicator lights. I contacted MSI Support...

    I want a GOOD PSU for $200 budget

    I wouldn't go for split rail. They're just not that powerful as single rail. Really, you should be looking at the amps on the 12v rail that you need.

    e8400 @ 3.6ghz stock hsf 70c ok?

    Woah. 70c?! I would try keeping it around 50-60c. According to the chart temp reading. It is stated that to keep it under 72c, but 70c would be kind of pushing it. Do you have fans in your case? Check here for the post of temp. http://www.tomshardware.com/fo...quad-temperature-guide

    New Corsair 650TX PSU installed, but nothing showed up

    I just got my Corsair 650TX PSU from the mail today. Installed it and connected everything. When I turned the power on, nothing showed up. I did see red lights, and I thought "oh no...". So I went to check the manual and said if it red, then my old PSU must've taken out my CPU out at the same...

    1 Terabyte WD HDD owners (WD1001FALS)

    Just wondering if the drives makes any noise? Because I am in need for a terabyte drive. I heard Hitachi is pretty good as well. I rather stay away from Maxtor/Seagate as I have bad experiences in failure drives on those. Let me know.

    K9N2 Platinum

    If you do have a lot of case fan, I recommend overclocking your CPU up to 3.2Ghz with this board. You will be able to see noticeable gains. But again, that's up to you.

    Phenom 2 seems to Over Clock well - 4.19 GHz @ OC Workbench

    Phenom 2 at 4.19?! Wow, that's ridiculous. Didn't think AMD would ever get up to 4ghz or past it.

    IDE or SATA?

    You're better off with a SATA as a primary. The IDE is a bit slower and you'll want to use it for storage as you don't need to access it all the time.

    How much PSU power?

    Wow, that's funny. Because my PSU blew up with almost similar specs when using my 450Watts in my computer. Now I have a 650 watts Corsair. This is the spec I have running during the 450 watts while gaming on COD5 back then. 1. MSI K9N2 Platinum motherboard 2. AMD Athlon 64 X2 4000+ 2.8GHz...

    How much PSU power?

    I am building a friend's computer when he buys all his computer parts from newegg. He is wondering how many watts of power supply he will need. I know many of you guys think that the PSU calculator out on the web isn't very accurate. Here's the list of the low-down he will be using in his...

    Power Supply advice please

    The thing is, I am on a budget. Thanks to all those who replied. Maybe I didn't mention it before, but I want to be able to run 2 or 3 hard drives in the upcoming future. Right now as of current, I only have the 320 Seagate SATA, but will be updating probably 2 new hard drives soon (Western...

    Power Supply advice please

    Well, here's the thing. I am not going to lie to you. And I am typing this up from a laptop of mine, not a desktop. I had the 450watt in the original casing and yes it did fried. And underneath are the specs I have using my computer. See if you can figure it out. I would deeply appreciate it.

    AMD Athlon 64 X2 7750 2.7GHz

    Woah...never seen this before. Looks pretty good. Except that I like to the watts to be a bit lower so that it leaves more room for overclocking.

    Power Supply advice please

    The thing is, I plan to keep upgrading my computer more and more often. As you see, I just upgraded the memory. Later on, I plan to add maybe 1 or 2 hard drive. Then maybe in future, I like to go for SLI 8800GT. So obviously those kind of things demand more power. I was told from...

    Power Supply advice please

    I am told that 550 watts would be adequate, but a 650 watt would be even better down the future. So yes, I do plan to keep using it down the future as well.

    Power Supply advice please

    Hi, I am looking for a new power supply as my original burned out. Come to find out that since I upgraded my 2gb Corsair RAM to 4gb, it was not enough to supply power to it. *silly me* Tongue My specs: MSI K9N2 Platinum SLI AMD64 X2 4000+ 2.81Ghz OC'D 320 GB Seagate SATA ( I plan to...

    MSI K9N SLI Platinum and MSI DKA790GX Platinum and MSI K9N2 Diamond

    Just wondering about these three motherboards. Has anyone of you running it yet? I plan to get the MSI K9N SLI Platinum because of its overclocking ability. I am a huge fan of MSI brands (motherboard) so I like to hear other opinions on this matter. Also the MSI DKA790GX Platinum interest...

    Mixing RAM timings and speeds

    Hello all, I was wondering if mixing RAM timings and RAM speeds will greatly effect the system? If so, how? I bought a Corsair xms series 1GB (2x) DDR2 800 that is on my current system. But I plan to upgrade to a new motherboard that needs DDR2 1066. Its frontside bus is 1,600 Mhz...
