    What could cause an excessively high temp at TAT Load?

    I've encountered a problem on my friend's rig where he would idle at 40C with an overclocked e6400 and when he would load the CPU using TAT, it would have a load temp of 70C+. That seems highly unusual considering his idle temps are perfect considering the overclock and the vcore (1.325)...

    8800gts Artifacting in Company of Heroes

    I am using the 8800gts at stock settings and I have artifacts on my screen. I did do some overclocking so maybe I permananelty damaged my card. I doubt it because the overclock was mild anyways. +10mhz, etc.

    The 8800GTS/GTX Overclocking Thread

    You may already know me from starting a "super pi mod score database" as well as a core 2 duo overclocking database and i thought it would be prudent to start an 8800gts overclocking database with related 3dmark06 scores, atitool temps, as well as the actual overclock of the memory and core. The...

    What are your 8800GTS 3D Settings

    Just wondering what people have their 3D settings at. For example, what do you have your anti-aliasing set at? Did you set it so that the application sets it or did you override it and set it to x4 regardless of what the game has set it at? I am unsure what to specify my settings at and was...

    Insufficient Power from my Power Supply?

    Currently, my rig consists of an e6300 overclocked to 3.0ghz with a vcore of 1.3375 as stated specifically in BIOS. I've got several fans in a push - pull configuration. Originally, I had a 7900gs that was not overclocked and have by now moved onto the 8800gts. My power supply is an Antec...

    Vcore not being reported correctly..i think

    Here is my situation. The vcore I set in BIOS is 0.05v MORE than actual vcore as shown in cpu-z and pc probe. I am pretty sure the vcore stated in pc probe and cpu-z is correct because the temperatures seem just about right at those vcore. For example. I set vcore in BIOS as 1.35 but in...

    Is an 8800GTS overkill for a 19" LCD monitor (1280x1024)?

    I've got an 8800GTS but I'm afraid that I'm not taking fully advantage of the 8800GTS. If that's the case, can someone directe me towards a video card that could give equal performance at the 1280x1024 resolution to the performance given by an 8800GTS? Much appreciated advice.

    Now that I finally have my e6600, should I be regretting the decision and considering selling it? What's your take on things and are you salivating at the prospect of buying a $170 cpu that can perform at such an unbelievable level when overclocked?

    For all Budget Conscious System Builders/Aspiring Overclockers

    So what do people think of the budget oriented n650 chipset brought to us by Nvidia? The N680i is absolutely insane and chockful of features but does anyone have enough insight and enough balls to call the n650 an "n680 killer"? Just curious as to whether users of a mobo using that paritcular...

    Recently, I've been intrigued by the possible combinations one can go with the new Core 2 Processors that have been out since the late summer.

    Memory for e6600 Core 2?

    Hi, I've recently bought an e6600 and was wondering whether buying memory such as the Ballistix ddr2 800 with 4-4-4-12 timings are worth buying and coupling it with an e6600. I do know that because of the e6600 has a higher multiplier and wondering whether that will allow someone like me to take...

    It's a rather dumb question but I would like to know whether you can connect two case fans together (male molex of one case fan connected to female molex of another case fan) and connect those two to one molex connector connected to the power supply. I'm running rather thin on molex connecters...
