I know the higher quality more expensive rams have better CAS latencies and come with heat spreaders and all that jaz but I'm wondering if there is a significant difference in performance. I'm currently doing a decent OC with cheap RAM and the RAM isn't the limiting factor. How high do you have...

ok i finally got a thermalright xp-90 and my cpu temperature is down to about 48 idle and 62 under full load which i think is acceptable well just wanted to let you guys know...
xp-90 is friggen huge it's awsome
thermalright retention brackets are a pain to install (it says "EASE OF...
hmm i was just looking at the thermalright retention bracket which i think might be kinda like that zalman one so would i be able to buy

and this http://www.coolerguys.com/840556031185.html (xp-120)
and put them together to work on my system?
does anybody have any experience with any of these lga 775 heat sinks?

my prescott is out of control hot 60 degrees idle 80 degrees under full load with stock cooling not overclocked
everything is installed correctly but my motherboard could...
well i was about to return my p4 prescott for an athlon 64 or return it in exchange the same thing... but i really don't want to go through the hassel of getting a new cpu and motherboard and i think it is not a defective cpu and that any prescott would run that hot in my system i have concluded...
i've gone through the whole heat sink thing already and i even went out and purchased new silver thermal paste and i'm 100% sure the heat sink is installed correctly
ok i guess i don't know where i got that 4k i checked again and i guess my 1.5 is about where i should be so i guess i'm fine...
yes i installed the chipset drivers first thing
my system temperature is 33 degrees which i think is an acceptable temperature i have two case fans one in front blowing air in one in back blowing air out everything in there is nice and cool except the cpu
i just ran 3dMark05 and i got a...
most toolbars are BHO's(IE plugins)
it is probably a new one that isn't yet recognized by those programs

*bump*
no viruses no spyware i'm pretty sure it is a hardware problem... it isn't causing shutdowns or errors just running slowly and sluggishly and really shouldn't be with what i have in it... any suggestions anyone?
do you perhaps have a pop-up blocker enabled? the new topic and the help button both open new windows i can't really give you the link to new topic because it is a javascript just try to disable your pop-up blocker or put anandtech.com on the safe list
ok i'm kinda familiar with HiJackThis...
check to make sure the IDE cable isn't reversed(most likely cause this has happened to me before) make sure the red stripe is on the same side as it is on the master if the master is working properly
check your jumper settings
in CMOS setup>standard setup make sure IDE0 slave is set to auto
i just got a new system here are the specs
abit aa8 duramax motherboard
3.4ghz prescott
two 512 ddr2 in dual channel
ati radeon x600xt 256mb
two SATA harddrives in raid-0
have a clean install of windows and sp2 and updated drivers for everything
was having freeze-ups in call of duty so...
OMG i don't get it... my 3.4ghz prescott runs at 60 degrees idle and 79 degrees under full load WTF!!!!!! and you guys all told me that was normal... i have stock cooling nothing is overclocked at all... i'm sure everything is installed correctly and am using silver thermal paste this just isn't...
yeah after a little more messing around i'm pretty sure it isn't the cpu even though it runs very hot i left a burn-in program running it at full load around 78 degrees for over 5 hours and no lock-ups or anything so i'll check out my ram... i've never messed with ram timings before but i'll...
ok i just got it up to 79 degrees... even if it is safe to set the shutdown temperature to 90 that is to protect it from getting fried if a fan dies or something and it shouldn't be regularly running that hot right?
ok i just reseated the heat sink and cleaned off the old thermal grease and put new stuff on and so now i'm completly positive that everything is installed properly and the cpu is now reading a little over 60 idle and i have yet to test it under full load in a game... according to that abit...
hmm these people said there chips were running at 30 to 40 degrees...... even if my motherboard is reading it a little too high that wouldn't explain the freezes... i will try to re-install the heat sink and give it a clean fresh layer of thermal compound but i don't think it will help since i'm...
yeah the fan is working properly. i used the thermal pad on the HSF first time i installed it but that is when it was overheating like crazy the one time i got into bios the motherboard said it was at 84 degrees celcius... shutdown temp is at 85 but i lowered it to 80 once i got it running kinda...
hi i just purchased a new 3.4ghz p4 lga 775 and an abit aa8 duramax motherboard... the processor was overheating before i could even get into bios when i first installed with stock cooling and so i bought better(silver) thermal paste and that seemed to get the temperature under control a little...
