    Intel OC Worksheet

    I put together a little tracking worksheet for when you're overclocking a new chip. Print it off, and you can keep track of what settings you're trying, so you don't duplicate efforts. I know after tweaking for a few hours, I tend to get things a bit confused in my head ;) I am pretty sure...

    Possible warning on Opty 144/146/148 Etc...

    I'm hearing through some sources that AMD is no longer going to be selling the 939 opterons through distribution/retail units anymore. Word is that they don't like these chips being used for anything but servers, so they will ONLY be shipping them directly to System Integrators. I haven't...
