    My overclock died on me

    According to Asus Probe, my voltage are running fairly stabe. For the 3V channel, it steady at ~3.296 and the 1.5V channel is steady ~1.552. Is this not a good mark? It's wierd because my previous PSU was crappy and only 300 watts. This antec is at 430 watts. Thanks for the info though.

    My overclock died on me

    I overclocked my computer awhile ago. Things, recently, seemed to fall apart after I installed a antec tru power supply. I can't get to where I used to be. At first guess is it the cpu, or memory?

    Antec power supplies....

    stick with tru-power. dedicated power for each voltage stabalizes the whole system, especially in an overclock

    Will my Antec True Power 430w be able to handle this system?

    Even if the 430 antec can't handle your system, what is your next alternative. An at-home power substation straight from the electric company? 430 watts is a serious supply. ;)

    Upgrading Hardware around a Windows Installation

As well, we changed the proccessor from a Celeron 500 mhz to a Celeron 1.7 ghz. Everything else stayed the same. When I connected everything...

    Why is Apple the only company making large size LCDs?

    I agree. I wasn't aware that NEC or Samsung made LCD's that had that 16:9 aspect ratio. I have to say, most people with Macs sure take pride in making a statement. It's like those frickin luxury SUVs. Why pay that extra price, when their computers don't have any signigant advantage other than...

    Why is Apple the only company making large size LCDs?

    There has to be some demand for the wide aspect ratios screens for the PC market? Why doesn't anyone make them for us?

    XP on boot, keeps doing a CHKDSK routine, even after multiple cancellations. howto stop?

    I requested a Scandisk of my two of my partitions on bootup a few days ago, and since then, everytime I boot up, it keeps doing it over and over, even after it's initial completion. Is there a way I can get rid of this scan request? I have tried scanning another drive, but that does not work.

    Best Place for Temp Sensor for CPU

    It is the flat flexible kind. The manual warned against putting it between the chip and the heatsink, since it might affect the heat transfer.

    Best Place for Temp Sensor for CPU

    I just got a multi-sensor display for temperature, voltage, fan-speed - I was wondering where the best place I should put the sensor to monitor the CPU temperature. I imagine sticking it between the heatsink and chip would not be best. Where is the best place? Also, I have about 8 sensors...

    Overclocking a P4 2.4B w/ a ASUS P4B533-E

    My most recent results with this OC is 2.4 @ 2.8 with a 156 FSB. My voltage is around 1.65 plus the asus overvolts. I have PC2100 RAM. I feel this proc has a little more in it, but my memory craps out at a higher FSB. Is there any settings I can change to get to 2.88 or even 2.9. Is 3.06...

    What is a good site that lists and categories the various opensource programs available for free? Preferably the Linux programs that have been ported over to Windows. How about sites that have all around solid programs available to be downloaded?

    Overclocking a P4 2.4B w/ a ASUS P4B533-E

    Does this overvolt show up in the Asus PCProbe monitor. I have seen the Vcore voltage up to 1.584. Or does it mean the *actual* overvolt is higher than this?

    Good news, my project has been off to a nice start and I am at 2.7g with a 150 FSB. It's stable after running Prime95 all night long. My Vcore is 1.525, and I am guessing I might be able to get to 2.9~3.0 with this proc. I've got a single stick of 512 266 DDR, but it is currently running at 225...

    ASUS P4B533 Series Owners: Upgrading BIOS to support Hyperthreading

    I GOT SERIOUSLY MISLEAD BY THE $%^ & DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM. too bad, I should have done more homework, I was too excited to have cash to buy new components. He said the 2.4 had hyperthreading when I asked him. Is it only the 3.0 that has HT? :o

    THUGSROCK, Thanks for your information. Quick, question. What exactly does the AGP/PCI ratio do? How should I integrate changing that as I go up the steps in my OC to 2.8? Do you think my 266 DDR Ram can handle that speed? Is your P4 a C1? or BO? Peace, LoCache
