E8400 Overclocking - Temperature problems

No I didn't. I suppose that would be a problem.

E8400 Overclocking - Temperature problems

Hey guys! I recently attempted overclocking my Intel E8400 for the first time after reading a few guides, including the one stickied here. I set the FSB to 400MHz for a speed of 3.6GHz. However, when I booted up again and turned on CoreTemp, the temperatures wouldn't go below 50C, and went...

Acer or Asus Widescreen

I would recommend the ASUS just because I have the VW224U and I am completely pleased with it; it's incredible and I can only imagine that one is better. As you said, I don't think it would matter that much, so if you want to save $20 then I guess go with the Acer. ASUS support forums are next...

HDCP-compliant HDMI to DVI adapter?

Hey guys! I am planning on getting an HDMI cable along with an HDMI to DVI adapter so I can play my XBOX 360 on my ASUS VW224U Monitor. I was going to get this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16812226015 But as you can see in the first couple reviews shown, someone said...

E8400 weird cooling patterns

Nah, I manually adjust the speed with a little controller it came with. There isn't really a difference for me if it's at 2200RPM or 1000RPM.

Thanks Bman...that is pretty odd. I'll do some testing before and after I overclock to see if it gets too hot, and then report back here. Thanks everyone!

E8400 weird cooling patterns

Ambient temp isn't the problem, sometimes I open my window and it's been about 30 +/- degrees outside in the past couple days. My problem sounds similar to xingchen's; When idle it drops back to 6 multipliers and sticks at 33C each core.

E8400 weird cooling patterns

Hey guys. I have an Intel E8400 not yet overclocked, and a ZeroTherm Nirvana 120mm CPU cooler. When I read reviews, etc, it seems like people are able to get the temperature in the 20-30C area during idle. However, at idle my CPU temp stays at 33C, and has never gone below that. When under an...

I think if you press the opposite side of a pin lightly on the stuck pixel, and then turn it on/off, it should allow the liquid stuff in the pixel refresh, if you will. Google how to cure a stuck pixel, there are a lot of different ways.

How do you turn off Splendid in Vista 64? I've been looking around and there's supposed to be an ASUS tab in the advanced display settings, but there isn't! I'm not sure how to disable it :/

The VW224U is truly amazing. I've played Counter-Strike Source a little bit, as well as FSX, and evreything is so vivid. Even if I zoom out in the cockpit (when playing FSX) and all the letters, etc on the panel become tiny, I can still read them. Very crisp! On CS:S everything is clear and...

Does anyone know how to turn on ASCR (I have an ASUS VW224U)? In the menu the ASCR and Saturation settings can't be changed; for some reason it won't let me click on it, it skips those two settings. Thanks!

E8400 Overclocking

I turned it off, but it still seems to go down to six when not at load. I'll just find the right overclocking settings and enable it again anyways, I suppose. Thanks guys!

E8400 Overclocking

Hey guys! Last week I built my new system, and it's great! However, I want to overclock to see if I can squeeze some extra juice out of this baby. I am already running FSX basically nice and smooth, so I want to see how smooth it is overclocked! However, I looked in my BIOS and at CoreTemp...
