    Underclocking a video card?

    I knew all the answers for your situation.. I have evga 8800GTX, idle 80C, don't like it, spend $50 on hr03+, installed, very happy idle 45c load 55c. as of RMA concern, i pick EVGA because they let you use your old cooler and allow overclocking if I remember it right. so when i need to RMA...

    8800GTX getting 4435 3dmark06 !

    I tried went back to 162.22 which works great for everything, but still no luck... the only possible cause remaining is lack of power from PSU? I don't use XP, i had vista 32bit. how do i go restore, do i lose everything i downloaded and installed during that period? or just the setting rollback?

    So I was bored and decided to (finally) overclock my E6600

    Are you serious? 1.35 MAX ? Do you mean 1.35v max for hitting your oc speed? such as 3.0ghz? you should take a look around, most e6600 user who overclocks went to 1.45v to achieve higher speed. EX: 3.6ghz at 1.45v is the perfectly safe voltage for 24/7. I agree if the OP only want to OC...

    My Overclock Safe? E6600 @ 2.7 gHZ

    my P5B-E acting weird lately, sometime it won't boot, i have to switch memory to different slots to make it work. the memory sticks are fine, maybe i put too much voltage to the board at 1.475. so don't give too much voltage to board or memory

    My Overclock Safe? E6600 @ 2.7 gHZ

    if you going to overclock this E6600.. you DEFINITELY don't want it at 2.7ghz so low, if you don't need that fast of cpu, at first hand you should get low end C2D chip like E4300. with E6600, dont waste its potential, go for 3.4-3.6ghz. voltage range should be 1.35-1.45. temperature less than...

    Buildng a new rig - fellow anandtechers...need your help

    as you have 2k to spend, why not water cool it? spend like $300 on WC parts, there you have a very quiet system with a lot better cooling for OC. I just done my WC setup, E6600 at 3.9ghz only 55C loaded, 45C idle. very quiet but fast.
