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)...
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.
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...
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...
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...
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...
My question is, I have recenelty purchased an Asus P5B Deluxe WIFI edition for $120 but I am unsure whether the WIFI will be of any benefit to me and whether I will actaully use it.
I do not have a laptop and nor does anyone in the house. However, we do have 3 personal computers all sharing...
I have run my system (e6600) at the specified settings:
1) Successful
429x7 = 3.0ghz
vcore = 1.35
mch voltage = +0.1
timings = 5-5-5-15
2) Successful
429x8= 3.43ghz
vcore =1.36
mch voltage = +0.1
timings = 5-5-5-15
3) Unsuccessful
(350-420) x 9
vcore = 1.45
mch = +0.2...
It's probably an extremely noobish question but I can't seem to be able to get my HR-05 northbridge chipset heatsink off of my motherboard. It is attached via push pins but I face a dilemma because I can't seem to take them out.
Exactly how are you supposed to uninstall something attached by...
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.
Currently I have an Antec NeoHE 500W power supply ubt I am unsure whether it can support an 8800GTS as well as an overclocked e6300. Does anyone have any idea?
Any websites directing me towards power consumption of an 8800gts per day would also be helpful.
I've had this motherboard for since last August and if you read my previous threads it took me countless weeks to get my e6400 to overclock properly to respectable levels. (3.4-3.5ghz on Arctic Cooler Freezer 7 Pro).
However, just recently, I got a nice christmas present in the form of the...
I currently have a Scythe Ninja Heatsink with a Yate Loon 12v fan blowing air through the heatsink and my temperatures are as follows:
43 TAT Idle/54 TAT Load
I have put AS5 a couple of hours ago and was wondering whether these temperatures seem right or whether I could do better if I...
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?
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. However, what I have been trying to figure out is whether going for an e6600 with a higher multiplier enables one to buy cheaper ram and stil be capable...
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...
I have had an 8hrs Orthos stable OC on my e6400 for the past week but one thing thta has been frustrating for me is the reboot loop my motherboard always goes through in the morning. After the reboot loop (around 4 times of rebooting), it would finally boot up without rebooting but my monitor...
I wasn't able to find a Super-Pi Mod Score "database" on anandtech and was wondering if maybe we could start one here.
To make it a little more organized Gerwin has requested that everyone include the following information in addition to their super pi mod score:
"My request is that the...
There are numerous databases related to overclocking and how high of an FSB people have achieved. However, I was wondering if maybe we could start a Temperature Database for all those overclocking enthusiasts!
For the organizational purposes of this thread, it'd be helpful if you could list...
I've noticed my northbridge is way too hot and wondered what are the northbridge cooling options at my disposal.
Also, does a heating problem on northbridge adversely affect overclocking?
I am pretty sure that my FSB wall at 380 is caused by a very hot northbridge chipset and I was wondering if anyone here could offer suggestions as to cooling it down. Please don't give me the generic advice or ask whether I have enough case air flow.
I'm asking specific guides or ideas or...
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...
Does a power supply that is insufficient for a system handicap one's ability to overclock a system? I'm just curious if there has been any mention of this and whether someone is able to provide me with an answer.
Hi, I have a current e6400 build:
- Gigabyte S3 mobo
- overclocked to 3.2Ghz
- Ram Voltage: 2.2v
- Orthos stable for 3 hours (and counting)
- TAT temp: 58 degrees C (Orthos Full Load)
- vCore: 1.328V
- MCH Voltage: normal (ie/ 1.45v)
- FSB Voltage: normal (ie/1.2v)
- pci-e voltage...
