My build is already in progress and I completely forgot that I had an an account here so I'd figure that I would finally start posting so enjoy the pictures and the commentary :)

I was looking at the bios options and there is so many new things that I don't understand. It is way more complex then the C2D overclocking that i'm accustomed to.
Before anyone mentions it... Yes, I have read 2 FAQ's on overclocking the i7's and to be honest, it confused me even more but I...
What is the safe limits of voltage for the Phemon 9950? Currently I have mine at 3.0 by running the multiplier at 15x. I'm holding off on bumping up the FSB until my new ram arrives.
Any suggestions?
When I had gottten into the bios and into the Cell area I noticed that the voltages were all grayed out and locked. I looked in the manual that came with the motherboard and in pdf manual from the site and I could not find a jumper or bios option that unlocks the voltage settings.
There is a...
Can you hook up a 4850 and a 4870 X2 in Crossfire?
From what I can see in pictures the 4870 X2 only has 1 crossfire bridge where the 4850 has 2. So I myself i'm not sure.
Anyone know?
I installed Catalyst 8.8 drivers earlier today for Vista 64 and now my Crossfire is broken and the tab no longer shows up in the CCC. I uninstalled them, used driver cleaner and re-installed the 8.7 and I am still out of luck.
In the hardware information section in the CCC it says that my...
I currently have my E8400 running at 3.80 GHz (9x421)@ 1.3500 volts, DDR voltage 1.90, NB voltage auto.
I have an Asus P5K motherboard and G.Skill Pie Series 8GB DDR2-8500 5-5-5-15. I also have sufficient cooling, my CPU has Thermalright IFX-14 with 120mm Delta and the memory has OCZ XTC for...
I was wondering, will the Phenom AM2+ socket chips work in the regular AM2 socket? I remember reading someplace that AMD was planning on making the AM2+ backwards compatible to fit into the AM2 sockets.
Which performs better? I'm currently thinking of shit canning my 8800 GTX KO super clocked for a 3870 X2 just because AMD/ATI's drivers are much more stable and they have better driver development for multi gpu support.
I had Quad SLI with 2 7950 GX2s and the support from nvidia and their...
Does anyone know where I can find an actual heatsink that is 120x120mm and thickness ranging from 20-25mm ?
I'm planning to use a 50x50mm 235W peltier and I want to sandwich it between my radiator of my water cooling system and I need a heatsink for the hot side of the peltier.
I got my evga 8800 gtx ko today and I popped it into my machine and used the FSP Booster 3X to power my video card.
After the whole installation process, and the rebooting I got a message saying to prevent damage to my card the cards performance was slowed down.
Now, the FSP Booster 3X...
From my understanding for games to take full advantage of Quad-sli the game itself must be coded to support it. I have read that if in fact the game does not support quad-sli you will still get a performance boost but not exponentially.
I was wondering if Crossfire works the same way or if...
Anyone know when nVidia is gonna get off their ass and make Quad SLi drivers for Vista? It's becoming very dissapointing to have to wait this long.
I currently dual boot my machine because there is no Quad SLi support in Vista.
I will be getting a 4600+ am2, 2gb of mushkin DDR2 PC5300 and a Foxconn nforce 590 motherboard and using a zalman 5900 cooler. Whats the range I can OC without running into stability issues?
I am having problems choosing an AM2 motherboard to purchase, right now i'm leaning toward the Foxconn due to the reviews I have read about it and being the closest thing to the original nvidia reference board and the good bios features. I still have 3 days before I will purchase anything so I...
ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe Wireless Edition
AMD X2 4600+ Socket AM2

Do you think I would get better performance using a...
Just need some opinions. I am upgrading my PC currently from socket 939 to socket am2. The motherboard i've decided on is the ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe Wireless Edition with the nForce SLI 590 MCP chipset although I am having problems making a decision on a processor.
Currently I have a 4400+...
Which would be faster? I currently have the 2 6600 GTs in SLi and I was thinking of upgrading but I want to know if getting a 7900 GT 470 MHz will be a sigificant improvement in speed over my current setup.
I want to get 2 Arctic Cooling NV Silencer 5 Video Card Cooling Kit for my SLi setup but I am worried that it will block the SLi bridge connections on each GeForce 6600 GT PCI-E. Does anyone have an experience with this or any other good video cooler? I am still using stock cooling and my PC...
Hello all,
I currently have my AMD 64 3200+ Winchester running at HTT 4x, 10x 240 FSB stable at 1.500 Volts and DDR Voltage at 2.80v. I want to run at HTT 4x, 10x 250 but my system gets a little unstable when I do. I was wondering if its safe to set the CPU voltage to 1.550 and the DDR...
I have an AMD 64 3200+ on an Asus A8N-SLI motherboard with 512x 2 (1gb) Corsair XMS PC3200 DDR what would be the best settings in hope to overclock this?
I'm using the stock CPU fan/heatsink and my Antec case has 4 sufficient cooling.
I already read the quick and dirty A64 thread and I...

I finally got my system up and running with all my drivers installed for the nforce4 chipset except the IDE SW Driver which was causing my Windows to blue...
I just got my Asus A8N-SLI, AMD 64 3200+ and my Geforce 6600 GT yesterday. After installing all the hardware into my machine I reformatted and reinstalled windows fine.
Once I installed the nforce4 drivers off the Asus CD and windows blue screened on me and the only way I could fix it was to...

Hey everyone,
I have a Shuttle XPC SK41G using the VIA 266 chipset, I bought an AMD Athlon XP 2600+ 266 FSB processor today and the Shuttle XPC sees it as a 2000+. I checked the chip to make sure that it was a 2600+ processor on AMDs website by checking the AXD number.
So far I have tried...

I recently installed one of my old hard drives into my friends PC to upgrade his 6gb and installed a fresh copy after repartitioning the drive I gave him. After Windows XP installed I immediately ran Windows Update and I found it odd after 2 hours it still wasn't more then 30% done with the...

hi everyone, I recently got a P4 3.0c and I don't know much about overclocking Pentiums and all these memory timings and 5:4 or 1:1 ratio things. Could anyone explain this to me?
I have a P4 3.0c cooled with a Thermalright SP-94 with a Panaflo fan, an Asus P4C800-E Deluxe motherboard and (2)...
After trying 2 different brand new wireless pci network cards (Belkin and Netgear) and Windows not detecting the cards or the bios when the PC is starting up I have come to a conclusion that it may be the motherboard. Has anyone had problems with older Abit boards and wireless networking? It's...
I have the P4 3.0c with the stock fan and the Asus PC400-E deluxe motherboard. Currently I have my bios set to 10% overclocking and its running at 3.32 GHz with a CPU temp. of 100F. Is it ok to run this puppy at 3.6 GHz (20% OC) ?
Those bastards at Alienware don't sell the cases seperately or sell barebones. I was wondering if anyone know if a seperate company designs and produces the cases for them or if Alienware makes those cases themselves. I'd love to get one of those cases but not for the price Alienware is charging...
I have a P4 3.0c and the retail fan is too god damn loud, so I was thinking of getting either a Thermalright SP-94 with a Panaflo case fan or a Volcano fan/heatsink combo. I am really stumped on which one i should get, any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Also on my Asus P4C800-E the bios...
I noticed today after I installed my new motherboard (Asus P4C800-E) and my new CPU (P4 3.0c) when I went to do some registry tweaks that in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\
there was no LargeSystemCache dword value. I remember when I was...
