    My First C2D Overclock

    I've had my current rig for about 3 weeks now and I told myself I was just going to run it at stock speeds seeing as its performance easily met my needs, but anyway I couldn't help myself. Pic Thats where I've stopped myself currently I didn't wanna push it too far temp/voltage wise...

    PSU Advice

    I need a new PSU for my gaming rig which can be seen in my sig. It was running strong for about a year and a half when my Antec PSU died.

    .5 Multipliers DO EXIST! Proof Inside.

    I have heard alot of talk that .5 multipliers don't work because it isn't supposedly supported by AMD and many hardware monitoring programs did not recognize them. Some people have said that in reality what it does is set the multiplier to the next whole number and changed the fsb accordingly...

    The crazy world of overclocking

    I know this pretty common but I didn't think it would actually happen. When i was first overclocking I couldnt go above 2.55 Ghz no matter what voltage without it failing prime95 in under 5 minutes. The other day I was experimenting a bit and now its stable at 2.6Ghz. Runs prime95 all day long...

    LL vs High Bandwidth

    I've been wondering what applications benefit more from high bandwidth and ones that benefit more from LL. Ive been overclocking my Athlon 64 3200+ Winchester which hits the wall at 2.55 Ghz. I can either run it at 300 x 8.5 = 2550 Mhz with my memory at 250 Mhz at 2.5-3-3-5 1T or 255 x 10 = 2550...

    Best Heatsink

    Hey guys, Ive been overclocking my athlon 64 3200 skt 939 and ive reached 2500 Mhz on stock voltage with ease, but to reach 2600 Mhz I'm going to have to raise the voltage a bit if I wan't to pass prime95. I'm not exactly ready to do that with stock cooling. What do you guys think is the best...
