Please notice that I'm not particularly interested in breaking world record of overclocking. What I want is a relatively high speed and absolutely STABLE system. I...

    Dear users, My friend is looking for a real fast computer. He does not play game but runs a program that needs real CPU power. I have not updated myself for the latest tech. So could you recommend a pre-built computer (i.e, dell, IBM, etc) that is super fast? He does not have a limit for the...

    Thank RussianSensation for your comments. Yes. I'm going to pay $100 for pre-lapped ultra-120 extreme. I have used tuniq tower, and not really completely happy with it. I currently have 520 version so I might be buying the same one. I know that PC8000 is overpowered but I currently have one...

    Building new system

    I don't think so. What matters is that whether you have an ample space to work in. To be more precise, you should present what HSF you are going to go with.

    Swiftech H20-220-APEX-GT vs CoolIT SYSTEMS FREEZONE Thermoelectric CPU Cooler

    I'm in the same boat. I have read the watercooling guide but it sorts of scares me away. New G0 chip can reach 4Ghz with air cooling, oh well. It would be nice to start with a kit. JJET

    ASUS P5K Deluxe ridiculous MB temp

    Are you referring to CPU heatsink? No. Tuniq tower works pretty well, and my CPU temp is 25 idle and 48 under load. What I'm worrying about is the northbridge heatsink, which is really hot, probably the hottest. JJET

    ASUS P5K Deluxe ridiculous MB temp

    Hi. Guys. I just built a new one with the following spec. E6600, Asus P5K deluxe wifi, Crucial Tracers, P182, and Tuniq tower. It is stable at 3.5Ghz now with 1.435 Vcore. CPU temp looks fine as it idles around 28C and tops at 48. However, MB temp seems ridiculous as it idles around 50 and...

    I sincerely appreciate your thoughtful comments. :thumbsup: :) Yes. I read aigomorla's sticky guide, which is excellent. I will follow his suggestion as well as others and wait until Jab-tech comes with a new water cooling system. Unfortunately, I have a limited time constraint (i.e., within 2...

    Room Temp

    I don't know much but can you control your room temp all the time? To run a computer 24/7, I guess you might consider the worst scenario. I moved to TX from PA and the room temp here is totally different story. :(

    E6400 and OC?

    If your mobo has an option to change FSB etc, you need to bump it. For instance, E6400 has default FSB of 266 and multiplier 8. So, 266*8 = 2.128GHZ which is the default speed of E6400. Say you want to bump the FSB to 400, then the computer becomes 3.200GHZ machine. Now, it depends whether your...

    I received my OEM cpu a week ago. It seems to be used one. There is a mark of thermal thing cleaned. It it normal? Should I return it? It says L628A901. No idea whether it can be a good overclocker. JJET
