    Overclocking Performance

    Hi guys, Yes I have a p4 3.0E prescott. Do you guys know any programs I can run so I can test ACTUAL performance with the divider 1:1 and then 3:2 or 5:4? Also, a cooler will allow my card to OC more? How do I check the temp of my graphics card now? Thanks guys

    Overclocking Performance

    Thanks for the info guys. Isn't a 1:1 ratio supposed to result in better performance though? How do I test the actual performance boost (or possible performance downgrade) if I OC the CPU more and the ram divider becomes 3:2 or 5:4 etc.? As for OC'ing the graphics card, the previous owner...

    Overclocking Performance

    The memory divider would be the 400/266/etc. setting in the BIOS correct? I have OC'ed my cpu to 220 fsb but the divider became 3:2. How do I "run a memory divider" to test? What would the test procedure be? Thanks

    Overclocking p4 3.0E with p4p800 deluxe mobo

    I'm currently reading the manual and I'm seeing some advanced options in the BIOS that I don't understand. CPU External Frequency(Mhz) - this is the option I upped to 210 to get the overclock DRAM Frequency- options are 266mhz 333 mhz 400 mhz and Auto. It says it allows you to set the DDR...

    Overclocking Basics

    Would it be better to run the CPU at a higher clock and not have the FSB=the ram speed? or would it be better to have a lower clock where the ratio was 1:1? Also, I have a p4p800 deluxe mobo, and I can't find the clear cmos instructons in the manual. Is it the same thing as loading the setup...

    Overclocking Basics

    Thanks Fern So technically I could just make sure that my divider ratio is set to 1:1, and then I just oc my CPU. This will automatically OC my ram as well? So if I want to just OC the computer a little, I could just raise the FSB until the computer doesn't boot. Then I could Clear the CMOS...

    Overclocking Basics

    Hi guys, I just want to make sure I got this right, to overclock I: 1) raise FSB 2) raise ram speed to match BUS speed 1:1 optimal 3) reboot comp, go into windows to check for instability That's it? If problems: 1) raise vcore a by smallest increment until I reach 1.525volts...

    FSB question

    I have a prescott 3.0 with 800fsb? If that's the case, shouldn't my ram also be running at 800 mhz to be synchronous with the processor? How does that work if I only have 1 gig of pc3200 ddr400 ram?

    Is that the best price for that Lian-li case? Honestly i don't care about the looks as much as the cooling (window or not). Where do you guys buy your cases from? I think newegg is too expensive when shipping/tax is included. Also, does anyone know any case that has 2 120mm fans and 1 80mm...

    xp-120 with evermax fan installation question

    I tried using a hacksaw, but the evermax 120mm fan has screws that extend into the 4 tubes. When I started cutting I realized I couldn't cut any further and saw that I was cutting metal. I've decided to just clip on the fan next to the 4 tubes. It's still pretty sturdy. Or... I could remove...
