    4ghz stability problem

    Thanks for the replies people. Its perfectly stable running 21x191 @ 1.32500v core but I would ideally not like to run the 21 turbo multiplier. I tried 19x210 and had the same issue, would run LinX for about 10-30 mins and lock up or reboot itself. One thing I haven't tried yet which im...

    Hi mate, yeah the striker and Q6600 is my main PC still until I go i7 soon, this E8400 is going to be a dedicated folding machine, I got given the P5K board and had an E8400 lying about so wanted to push them as hard but reliably as possible. @ 3.6ghz it seems rock solid after many hours of...

    i7 time, couple quick questions :)

    Right have decided I need to jump on the i7 train especially hearing that Intel might be pulling the lower spec i7's when the i5's come out! Im going for the 920 D0 Stepping (SLBEJ) as its supposed to be a good overclocker. What I need now is a good motherboard for overclocking but one...

    E8400 Overclocking

    It is a C0 but I got 3.6 no problem but on 4ghz @ 1.35 vcore it will post but wont boot, I will have to have another play and try upping NB & VTT etc otherwise I will just leave it at 3.6 :)

    E8400 Overclocking

    I'm a bit of a folding Guru mate, I already have 8 Nvidia GPU's folding, a couple of quad cores and this e8400 will be in a dedicated folding machine along with 2 more 9800GT GPUs :) Just wanna get as much out of the CPU as possible without making it unreliable ;)

    E8400 Overclocking

    E8400 Overclocking

    Yeah got prime 95 and memtest etc to test stability, its going to be folding 24/7 so I need it to be reliable so I will try for 3.6 first and then try for 4ghz Cheers bud, FSB wise I assume I need to run 400 for 3.6 and 450 for 4ghz? V-core wise you think 1.3v would be ok for 3.6ghz...

    E8400 Overclocking

    Whats a good overclock on an E8400 CPU on an Asus P5B motherboard? I don't want to go silly as its on air cooling but as its 3ghz stock would 3.6ghz be a reasonable jump? Any advice greatly appreciated as im still a noob when it comes to overclocking lol :)

    New case with good cooling!

    My old Case was a Lian-Li PC-50 and I really did like the quality of it and ive reused it for my folding rig but I fancied a change with some serious cooling power and the Antec was exactly what I was after this time around :) I need a new case for my home server soon which is another OC'd...

    Are my temps a big high?

    Have bought an Antec 902 case now (highly recommended) and absolutely straining the crap out of the CPU I don't see any temps over 54 degrees and 75 for the GPU :D Silly thing is the Antec 902 has all fans set low and its very quiet and cool where as the 4 x 80mm fans on full whack in my old...

    Asus P5Q-E and Q6600 Overclock time, help needed!

    Got a chance to give it a go today and its quite happy at 3.06ghz after a while of Prim 95'ing. have set the FSB to 333, upped the Vcore to 1.30v and basically left everything else on Auto and it seems stable, was a shiiiiiiit load easier to overclock than my striker extreme!!

    8800GTX v 9800GT Sli'd ???

    8800GTX v 9800GT Sli'd ???

    Quick question, I have a BFG 8800GTX OC2 version but have a few BFG OC 9800GT's, do you think a SLi'd pair of 9800GT's would be better/worse/on a par with the 1 8800 GTX? Cheers :D

    New case with good cooling!

    Thanks for your replies, been having a look and I think the Antec 902 is the way to go, it looks nice, plenty of airflow and only £100 :) http://www.bit-tech.net/hardwa...ndred-two-902-review/1 Not sure if I will be going water cooling on this system, im saving for an i7 rig but just want...

    Are my temps a big high?

    Cheers for the replies, I tried an SMP client for folding and it put the temps upto 70 degrees on the CPU so I scrubbed that, I think my case cooling could be better at the 8800gtx on full whack is like having a small heater in there!! I will sort out my case cooling first I think.... :)

    Asus P5Q-E and Q6600 Overclock time, help needed!

    Cheers bud, I will knock the Mem & NB voltage up .1 or .2 volt after and see what prime 95 does to it, do you think I will need to bump the V-core up a bit? I haven't played with overclocking for over a year now since I done my Striker and other 6600 so cant remember exactly what things...

    Motherboards with 4 PCIe slots

    Cheers mate that was what I wasn't sure on, I don't fully understand about the x16, x8, x4 speeds on PCIe so thats why I wondered if it dropping to x8 would cause any issues for the cards although I didn't think there would be. So 3 x Quadro's on that MSI K9A2 board would be fine you think...

    Motherboards with 4 PCIe slots

    Thanks for the reply mate im happy to use AMD, any ideas how the Quadro's would react to this board? IE: if the cards are x16 each and this board can run 2 of the slots in x16 mode but the other 2 in x8 mode would the cards still work ok?! If that makes sense lol

    Right checked again last night, I can run Crysis at 1920x1200 with 4xAA and it is playable, played it for about 45 mins and besides a couple of slight slow downs when there was a lot of action going on I thought it was quite playable :) 2 things to remember though - this is with all advanced...

    Happy with my new G/C

    Ah fair enough, I only played it for 20 mins to see how it went and it was forest scene, it did slow a little when lots of action kicked in but it didn't make it unplayable or anything. Will go back to a beach scene later and play about see what I can get it to do lol

    Software for switching video card output?

    I think you mean VGA input and VGA cord not AGP don't you ;) (AGP is a graphics card socket on older motherboards) And a 6600GT should support dual monitor output - I have an old 6800GT running 2 monitors in work quite happily :) Get the latest driver from Nvidia.com and then run the...

    Best 8800GTX per £ (Or Ultra?!)

    Thanks for your replies, what do peeps think of this: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/...rodid=GX-043-EA&tool=3 How would one of these compare to 1 GTX, does the extra 256mb on the GTX make that much difference? Wondering if I should push the boat out and get 2 of these :D :D
