    Did I get a dud or incorrectly seat my Zalman Heatsink Fan?

    Hey dude, I have similar temps on my 6420 at stock speed. Mine hits a high of 60C You definitely need to consider your room temperature as a factor. For example at night time, especially when I put my a/c on my temp goes down by 10c. So my max load is only around 50c. In the day time...

    6420 Disappointment

    Gigabyte Bearlake Motherboards Arrive!

    I just have been really impressed with Gigabyte's customer service. I once had an issue with a 939 board and even after warranty expiration of 2 years later they switched it with a new board of the box for free the same day. Then again, I lost the 775 socket and holders for the 3d ultra...

    CPU + Motherboard Burning up, whats the dealio?

    Here is a shot of my copper cooler....the fan init goes up to 5000rpm on max setting http://img374.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dscn1013tq8.jpg

    CPU + Motherboard Burning up, whats the dealio?

    I agree those temps are way high. Try cleaning your HSP surface and cpu surface with 90% alc and try adding the as5. Usually I just make a little X sign using AS5 and my idle temp on e6420 on stock speed is 32c and max temp at 42c. I am using gigabyte 3d cooler ultra gt which I guess helps.

    Vista 32 vs 64

    Just a quick question about Vista. I recently purchased a Home Premium for a new system. When I click system properties it shows as Vista Home Premium 32bit. I was under the impression that vista home premium was 64bit. Whats the main difference between 32 bit and 64bit?

    Need comments/suggestions on system build

    Hi, I guess if you're making a budget pc those parts should be ok. I would recommend getting a good psu, because I have had a real bad experience buying cheap psu which burn out even if you slightly overclock. Get an antec or a silverstone psu. I've had a 2 year track record with them...no...

    WTF was Gigabyte thinking?

    Yeah, I don't see any point of putting those stickers. I guess they do it for packaging/marketing reasons. Anyways, I just bought the giga-byte 965p-DS4 over the weekend and it also had the a sticker on the pcie slot, but it came off real nicely, no leftovers. So i dont know what...

    4pin or 8pin?

    I have the same exact question. My GA-965P-DS4 also has the 8pin connector on the board with the right-side 4 pins covered with a cap. My psu is antec trio 550 which comes with the 8pin connector. I am currently running the system with the 4pin plug. Should there be a reason to plug in...

    Final specs of 8800 ultra

    Any ideas on how much ram it will have. I want to build a top of the line pc but I'd rather wait till they release a 1gb version. I can see this 768mb version getting obsolete pretty soon. What do you all think?
