I tried to order one yesterday but the price was up to 599 - I called altec and they said that there site had been having problems - and to try back later and the price would be down to 99. Tried several timees yesterday, again just now but it is still 599 - I just called altec again and this...
Not great but it is probably the best 720p Projector there is. I have been building and using projector based theater for nearly 10 years. I have 4 projector in my house and range from 90 to 133'' screens. I have has this projector in my main theater for nearly a year until I upgraded with...
Got an Acer 2 weeks ago from Best buy for 330... thought it was a great deal but it has turion TF-20... slow single core...... then I saw this deal here. Even though I can not return the Acer anymore I decided to buy this anyway since it has a much better cpu for less- everything else is same...
Thanks a lot guys - Very clear now - as I almost sure but just wanted to make 100% sure before building the new system with these older cards that worked well without any compatibility issues. .
Thanks a bunch
OK this should be a simple answer for many . . . I am building a fast machine that will be used as a DAW ( music recording) - lot's of power hungry plugins . . but I am setting this up with 4 monitors - and do it inexpensively . . . I had compatibility issues with many sets of newer graphics...
Thanks . . to both of you . . . still unclear . . . I am starting to think that the 3800+ was faster than d805 atleast according to some online comparison . . . but you guys here know this beeter -------- I will wait for some more openion ----
Hello
Thanks for taking the time . . . if you are in hurry just answer which cpu is faster and by how much???
If you have a few minutes more - read on . . .
I spent a couple of hours trying to decide which one of these cpus are faster and by how much % wise - looked at many benchmarks...
Thanks in advance - trying to replace a asus DAV center (athlon 3800+ nvidea 6150 le built in mobo) with a new htpc - so far Dish network HD satellite signal has been very choppy even though they said it was built for HD. I don't know if the cpu or the gpu is the reason - so I am selling that...
Been away from all this for a while and need your advice on best value for OC'ing
Moving up from a C2D e4300 oc'd to 3.5 on Gigabyte P965 -DS3 mobo
Building a new system . . . don't need the best - just the best value - I do music - any extra power would be useful for the hungry audio...
:confused:Hi . . . need help here, bought a HTPC on ebay made by Asus called DAV center . . . I like it a lot except it doesn't have enough juice to dicode and display HD Satellite video. Standard def is fine but HD is real jerky and CPU is at or near 100% . . . .
I am looking to upgrade...
Please do not cross post. I locked your other thread, we will leave this one open

Thanks first of all for your attention . . . my recently built system with 2 X dual display each (running four monitor) doing strange stuff. So far I have spoken to Tech support from Gigabyte, Nvidia, Sapphire, and others - everyone has a different openion and everyone seems to be confident...
After playing around with different settings combination, with the new OCZ 800 RAM I was able to push it up to 3.7 - that's right windows load and stable at 3.7, but it was running hot - even the big blue orb was not enough - so I brought it back down to 3.5. Now the temp is around 65 at full...
Got the new OCZ DDR2 800 dual channel - installed it - and still bios won't post beypnd 380 FSB - I expected the new faster memory would resolve the issue. I see absolutely no difference going from Super Talent 667 to OCZ 800 - makes no sense - I might be doing something wrong. I remember...
My first choise - I just ordered myself - special $140 free shipping

Same ram at Newegg for $200

Or you can go with this too...
Ok . . . NO GO . . . . Tried your suggestions/setting first with adjusting the voltage as you suggested - won't boot . . had to reset BIOS then tried again , this time only changing the memory timing and not mess with the voltage . . . still won't boot. I only raise the FSB by 10 mhz and...
Q]
Relax your RAM timings to 6-6-6-15 and then try to up the FSB. And push +.2V to your DDR. That should allow the SuperTalent RAM to reach 900mhz, and see what's limiting you then. In all honesty, I think you should be content with 3.4Ghz from an E4300 :)
I am thrilled - very happy...
what do guys think my odds are of getting a higher OC with better Ram??? If I keep the vcore at default and instead get 800/900 ram and increase FSB from 380 to 450 . . . will that work? will the cpu run hotter even though the vcore is untouched???
Dude... you got a good chip. I've tried many settings, including the 4 that you have posted, and I can't get over 3.0Ghz without failing Orthos. Can't you just be happy that you got lucky?
OK I am happy now - thanks really started to think 3.5 is almost definite for a e4300 with Ds3...
With a good cooler you should be able to get pretty close to your goal of 3.5. But my suggestion is to back off a bit once you have found a stable setup and acceptable temp. My setup is stable @ 3.42 torture test running for hours, still I chose to back off to 3.3. But I think you could get...
Run Orthos or Intel TAT instead of Prime95.
Intel TAT would substitute prime 95????? Intel TAT just reads temps right? If not I am even better offf . . . Every time I am running prime 95 in torture mode I have zpu-z, core temp, speedfan, and Intel TAT running as well. Are you inplying...
Are you "stable" with Prime95 or Orthos? How long are you running the tests? I can't get Orthos stable past 3.2 even with 1.45v. You must have one heck of a chip or you aren't running Orthos long enough to be hitting that a/c with so little +core.
Stable running Prime 95 torture test...
Yes - I love this mobo, I have no doubt in the ability of this board once the bios is updated to latest F10 but for 6300 to get there you will need really fast ram - even faster than 800. E4300 will do the same with cheaper 667 ram because of the 9X multiplier.
I'm pretty sure you just got lucky with your processor. I have a DS3 and an E4300, as well as Super Talent Ram (like you) and I can't clock over 3.0GHz. You got lucky, congrats.
If you have the same setup . . my ram is going all the way up to 770 even though it is DDR667 - if you have...
Actually that is idle temp - when I ran prime95 in torture test temp started to move up but still fine - it was around 55 under heavy load. But I have already figured out that core temp is displaying wrong temp. All the others match the bios except core temp. And then I found a bunch of...
Tell me if I am right??? The piece of wire /thermometer that I connected to the cup for the temp display in the front of the case has nothing to do with my reading from the BIOS, or SpeedFan, or Core temp, right? Those temp I am reading are direct feature of the cpu? It can't be wrong ...
Running prime95 test with CPU-Z core temp and speedfan running in the background to monitor. All others are consistant with BIOS reading but speedfan showing vcore1: 1.34 and Vcore2: 1.79 - this is a e4300 cpu Vcore set to 1.385. Why is Vore2 showing me 1.79 in sppedfan - is that...
I really think it has a lot to do with the right combination vs. good processor. I think OC is more like a cooking. Anyone can throw a bunch of ingridients together and cook and it will be eatable but only if the recipie is followed and the proportion and process is right the same ingridients...
I guess it depends on how much your are trying to OC. Do you ned to set record - it will cost you a lot. Or do you need a value rocket? I have spent a lot of time researching trying to find the combination of conponents so that they work well and OC well without spending a lot of money on...
update - I pushed the vcore up to 1.525v only got it up to 3.46 - basically another 5mhz more on the FSB. It is not getting hot at all - my $50 cooler was an overkill but it won't go any higher - I think the memory is the weakest link now - it would probably go higher with better memory...
Thanks guys . . .
I did spend a lot of time reading up all I could to find the best combination and for budget - I am using the blue orb by thermaltake - it's a H U G E cpu cooler - but so far cooling hasn't been a issue, I am starting to feel like I could have had same result with stock...
