    Overclocking + Undervolting

    I overclocked my old 6300 to 2.8 and undervolted to 1.1 or so.. shaved off about 10 degrees idle/load.

    Just got my $199 e6600

    Right, I've said about 5 times now that I cleared the cmos multiple times. I've tried in 2 motherboards. If ES runs hot, I still didn't want it, I don't like my procs running that hot, as it lowers their lifetime, I undervolted that ES to 1.1 and still got 50c, which is too much in my book...

    Just got my $199 e6600

    I returned it to them, no they can't legally sell it to me, but they did anyways. Ok, so how do I run a D920 which takes what, double the wattage of that e6600?

    Just got my $199 e6600

    No I didn't but I did short the cmos jumper multiple times.. which is the same thing.

    Just got my $199 e6600

    I returned the ES for a refund since they couldn't get me a different one. And I'm chugging away with my 920 on the same mobo as I chugged with the 6300, so I'm sure it's none of those, as it doesn't work in that brand new board also.

    So consensus say... poo poo cpu, time to email fry's! I hope they have one to send me, they sold out of these things fast :(

    Just got my $199 e6600

    Well I'm on the computer again, and all I did was switch back in the 920... so it's none of that, not a motherboard issue. I tried the 6600 on a new board I got for the 920, and it won't even post... any other ideas?

    Just got my $199 e6600

    the 6300 was running hot, about 50c or more depending on voltage. I cleared the cmos multiple times, as it wasn't booting up. I thought I tried everything, and I guess I was right, suppose it's RMA time.

    Just got my $199 e6600

    Already tried that. It won't go past post screen, it just sits at a command prompt, like right before it's supposed to say the irqs and where it says "boot to cd" If nobody can think of anything, guess it's to the RMA bin :(

    Just got my $199 e6600

    Just got my e6600 from fry's and the ah heck will post but not get past that. I had an e6300 ES in there previously but I rma'd it a few months ago. Put in my old pentD920 and it's been going smooth since then. Got in on the 6600 deal, and it's not working. It's Step F, but I'm not...

    Incorrect Temperature Readings

    yeah, so does tat. The Pentium D, however, isn't a Core processor. So either I need an external (inaccurate) diode, or I don't know its temp. Why is my Bios, in both motherboards, wrong? I see a lot of people's bios report somewhat accurate temps from the bios, like 30-50c, why are mine...

    Incorrect Temperature Readings

    Ok, so the last 2 motherboards I've had have both had incorrect Bios cpu temp readings. My old one was with my pentium d 920 which gave me readings of 16idle/22load. RIIIIGHT. My external diode was 30idle, closer to reality. Now, in my new motherboard, p965-s3, my new core2duo was reading...

    Slight problems with stutter - HELP

    I'm also having a problem in both xp and vista with my x1950xt's vivo. The video in is constantly jerky, it will play for 2 seconds and then loop like a .2 second frame.

    Slight problems with stutter - HELP

    My 4 pins are all attached into the mobo correctly, and I'm using the default spread of thermal compound that came with the ac7. Could I just have a hot chip? It's an engineering sample B0. Gigabyte's thermals say 20-30c but tat's say 54-60c.. I don't get it.

    Slight problems with stutter - HELP

    One was in pio, so I corrected it, but when doing things intensive things, I still have mass lag. I can't tell if it's power related or what, it's really frustrating when it's all new components.

    Slight problems with stutter - HELP

    Brand new OS installation, had to install a few times because when I disabled Marvell gigabit lan, my computer would massively slow down, I still don't know why that happens, but I figured it out and kept this install. I upgraded to v8 bios, and all other drivers are up to date.

    Freezing problems - giga s3

    My old computer was freezing during games, videos, and when I had a few webpages open, especially image heavy ones. So, figuring it was either motherboard, ram or PSU problems, I basically bought all new components except hard drives (I had dual 7200.10 320gb seagates) I got most of my...

    Clearance Issue

    Anyone know the dimensions of my stock pent-d cooler to compare against the zal 8000 ? and would the 8000 be the best bang for my buck for that mobo in my xqpack? stock doesnt cut it anymore also should i get any other cooling? gpu or northbridge or anything else?

    Clearance Issue

    I'm wondering if the 8000 would fit in my Foxconn P4M800P7MA-RS2. The stock Intel Pent-D cooler has the fins almost touching some transistor thingys in there, which are about 1" tall http://www.foxconnchannel.com/Upload/Ma...10210228030718_P4M800P7MA-EKRS_Big.jpg they are on the right...

    Help! My video is screwy.

    So, my gf's computer decides to crap out and I have my old one sitting here. My vc served me fine for a few years, but apparently didn't like newer drivers. I reboot into safe and rollback. Reboot, vc seems fine, runs for a day fine. She takes the comp home and boots up, bam, screwy...

    Graphics Slowing Down

    just got my external temp guage back from rma, went back to stock 2.8ghz, and it's showing 50 degrees under load, so my 'superstep' program from manufacturer isn't accurate at all. But my 3d is back to normal, I'll report if it reverts to slow speeds again.

    Graphics Slowing Down

    CPU score isn't effected, but according to my motherboard program, after 3 minutes of dvd shrink, 100% of both cores, it says 30 degrees.

    Graphics Slowing Down

    My computer is going slow on graphic applications sometimes. It will be slow for awhile, and then just go back to normal speeds, when I haven't altered anything. Temps have been constant. I see the slow down in games, then I test with performancetest, and performance has been about...
