    What motherboards have Non-Z overclocking enabled for Pentium 3258?

    Asus H81M-K: No overclocking I have the Asus H81M-K with update 0805 and It doesn't allow multiplier above 32 so no overclock unless I'm doing something wrong. So unless there is an extra step beyond switching to XMP and then All core and setting a number there. No luck on this one.

    Video Card Temperature

    It may not be normal but its pretty common. My card goes up to 100C in Fable and my friend card goes as high as 104C. I'm also using drivers 77.77 so I don't know if it is in cause. I haven't tried latest drivers though.

    Nvidia hardware firewall

    also the nvfirewall can cause many BSOD.... Seems like this was just a marketing spree and it can't really be used.

    Memory Overclocking Technique with AMD64

    Ok I was wondering what was the most efficient way to test overclocking capability of ram? I thought maybe increase the HTT in windows and running superPI at 1M each time would be good. Once you reach instability you can now try to increase voltage a bit or just stop there. Or is it better...

    nforce4 ultra vs nforce4

    I don't know about overclocking but sata II is sata 3gb/s. As for the firewall its buggy like hell right now so it doesn't change much. For overclocking I don't know I never seen a benchmark of the standard nForce. I also think there is no raid array with the nforce4 standard.

    Best NF4 Ultra mobo for OCing?

    Nope, PCI slots aren't backward compatible. so if you already have 2 PCI component you may want a board with 3 slots.

    A8N E Port Locks

    The Asus site specify they can be locked A8N-E Specifications I have an A8N-E and I've set the PCI and PCIE to be locked but nTune keep saying like my PCI isn't locked so I'm not sure if its nTune that isn't working or the bios, or me ;)

    nforce4 chipset fan "buzzing"

    I just bought a asus A8N-E about a week ago. But now my chipset fan is making very loud noise that feel like a buzz (much like I would imagine a minature plane noise) I was wondering if everyone else experience this or if it could be considered a defect? And if its a defect do you think I'll get...

    a8n-sli chipset heatsink fan

    Is there any other fans except the papst that will fit with out any mod on the HeatSink? Because the only thing I've found is a sunon or an antec 40mm fan. And I was wondering if it would be quiter or it wouldn't change anything?

    6600Gt Safe Temperature

    I have an antec TX1088AMG so no need to drill a hole ;) its already here... But seems my card doesn't overclock well at all. At 550/1000 I already start seeing glitchs in textures after few minutes of 3Dc. Well seems like stock speed will be what I will have to use

    6600Gt Safe Temperature

    I just bought an Asus 6600GT it is going pretty well but my temperatures go up to 80C when running 3Dc. With 3dMark2005 though it only reach 72. So my guess is it will most likely stays in these temps. Just wanted to be sure though.

    TX640B

    I'm building a new system and I've seen the TX640B is out. I was wondering if anyone has it and how it does. I'm still undecided between the TX640B, SLK3000B or TX1050B. What is really great about the TX640B is the price and the air duc can be moved. But the store where I went told me it was...

    ASUS & DFI & MSI owners.

    Anyone had any experience with the A8N-E (Standard) I haven't seen any review and it by far the cheapest nf4 ultra MB I've seen. Only thing I would miss is the firewire but in fact I never used it with my current board.... As for dual Gigabit I don't see what use I could make of it since its not...

    Corsair CVS or Kingston KVR?

    Ok, I'm kind of on a budget so I must buy some relativly cheap ram. I've found 3 pair of 1GB ram that are within my price point. those are : VS1GBKIT400 PC3200 1024MB 2x64Mx64 2x184 DIMM $159.00 (CAD) VS1GBKIT400C3 PC3200 1024MB 2x64Mx64 2x184 DIMM $149.00 (CAD) KVR400X64C3AK2/1G$169.00...
