    anyone ever OC GIGABYTE GA-Z68MX-UD2H-B3 LGA 1155 Intel Z68??

    this mobo really is not bad with no oc... but I did not get it for that which kinda sucks... should have got something else like the ASUS ones.. which I hear is good. Maybe I should just sell this and get that instead.

    anyone ever OC GIGABYTE GA-Z68MX-UD2H-B3 LGA 1155 Intel Z68??

    When changing the parameters to BIOS... I end up crashing it... by just the multiplier and without touching anything else. Default is 34x but changing it to 40x or so... but others like Asus z68 matx boards have no problems with just changing the multiplier to like say 40x stable.

    what is better pure SSD or SRT Caching on a new build

    Which GPU helps video encoding?

    I hear the 8000-9000 series Nvdia cards support CUDA encoding.... does it mean when using applications like Adobe Premiere, Vegas, TMPGEnc, XVid4PSP all supports this or at least helps support it. I am getting a q9550 intel which hopefully will help 720/ 1080p encoding avc or equivalent?

    Video Encoding and newer Intel Quads

    Seriously anyone if the q6600 and q9550 are similar then it makes all the sense to get the q6600 but then I am not sure. I got the newegg 7k1000 and they are really fast.... relatively speaking compared to my Raptor drives in the past.... and hopefully it will be quick for encoding.

    I believe both cards are good... I do not want anything more than the 260 though the 280s are better.... come next year or more the GTX 260s and 280s will be entry level again and maybe the 380-390s...8)

    Video Encoding and newer Intel Quads

    True worth of upgrading to i7 vs the existing Quads

    i checked that in x264 encoding benchmarks most of the q6600 outperformed the q9550 in terms of encoding even though it is a 65nm chip. Any difference then in terms of an overclocked q6600 vs a q9550 >>> maybe overclocked to 3.2 at least if possible. How far can the q9550 go compared to the...
