no offense, because i think its a nice system too, but they are charging a MASSIVE premium for that system. you can get a i3 laptop, and a damn nice one, with ATI or Nvidia graphics for that kind of money. and 1080p on that crap a$$ intel video chip isnt going to work, you will be ranking on...

I cannot play graphically intensive games without my PC shutting itself off!

if your card is getting to 110c then you need to cool it better, period and anyone who tells you different has no clue. those cards will start to choke around 80c and the hotter they go the worse they get and 110c is death. take the heatsink off remove and clean any grease thats on it and...

why the fisheye ? do you really do fisheye work? its rare to find anyone who does enough to justify the cost vs maybe a rental. and the difference in 30D to 40D, i would argue that as i went form a 20D to a 40D and was VERY happy i did. and the 30D and 20D are the same camera. and then i went...

How hot/cool is your Phenom II

Astro - i found on mine also that it takes quite a jump in voltage to go from 3.2 - 3.5ghz. not unheard of but somewhat surprising to see such a jump needed. then it sort of levels off, then i need to increase it more. typical overclocking walls we see in most chips.

How hot/cool is your Phenom II

if they are both, for example 65nm and both running 1.4v then the math is similar. the real world results are not but we all know that AMD chips run cooler. and yes i know the PII is 45nm. my point was simple and not meant to be taken as a direct comparison, only that an intel running at...

How hot/cool is your Phenom II

wow you shouldnt need that much voltage for 200mhz. unless you got a really nasty chip. dont forget that you need to increase your NB and hyper transport too sometimes and not the vcore. but temps you all have given me so far are somewhat on par with mine. using the probes on each side of...
