    Asus P6T7 WS Supercomputer + Core i7 965 not stable??

    I am monitoring my temps. On full load (all 4 cores and 8 threads and max memory), the temps never go over 60 degrees. edit: hmm... I just installed Asus AI Suite and it's telling me that the CPU is 58 degress idle. CoreTemp tells me that I'm at 40 degrees idle. What the hell... what such...

    HTPC: 8600GTS vs 9600GSO?

    I have an HTPC that currently uses an 8600GTS - but I have a spare 9600GSO (I do have a blu-ray play in the HTPC). Will it benefit me to replace the 8600GTS with the 9600GSO? Or should I just keep my HTPC as is with the 8600GTS and use the 9600GSO as a phsyx card??

    Question about overclocking AMD 5000+ Black Edition

    So I'm not really trying to overclock the AMD 5000+. I'm just trying to increase the multiplier (I read on another site that it can easily run 14x/15x multipliers with no voltage changes). So I went ahead an increased the multiplier (stock = 13x) to 14x. Prime95 stable for hours. Increased...

    what type of memory is better?

    I'm looking into getting a new motherboard/memory combo for my QX9650. Seeing as how DDR3 is freakin super expensive, I was going to go the DDR2 route. But I found some DDR3 1600 (9-9-9-24) on newegg for about $209 AR... which isn't TOOOO bad. So the question now is, if I don't mind...

    ESET Smart Security and Wake On Lan feature

    Prior to installing ESET Smart Security on my computer, I was able to wake my computer up remotely. But after installing it, my computer will not wake up remotely (wake on lan feature). Is there a port number I need to let through? Has anyone else gotten wake on lan to work with ESET Smart...

    4GB + waking up from sleep (S3) = reboot

    sanity was checked before posting: 1) if I disable the memory hole setting, all is well (except for the fact that I only get 3GB usable) - that's with and without overclocking. 2) if I enable the memory hole setting, regardless of whatever BIOS/system settings I have, the system will...

    Intel Xeon X3350 vs Core 2 Quad Q9450

    Are there any major differences between the X3350 and the Q9450? On paper, they look identical. If I'm planning on getting the DFI LT X38-T2R, will I notice a difference trying to overclock one over the other?

    Question about HR-03 GT on an 8800GTS

    For those who have the HR03 GT (Thermalright VGA cooler), how are you mounting it? From all the threads that I've read, there are two methods for this: One wraps the heatsink behind the card, while the other curves it out front. Which way is better?
