Happier with a home built rig

HTT is lcoked out on my bios, so I don't have away to change it. CPU-Z tells me that the HTT is 200.0, and the voltage hovers right around the 1.440-1.472 I haven't tried to lower memory clock yet, but that looks like the place to go to OC while using CPU frequency

Happier with a home built rig

This is my first rig, and my first attempt at OC'ing. I don't know what HTT multi is, but I do know the CPU multi is locked at 11. I can only change the CPU frequency for the OC. Also the maximum selectable CPU volts is 1.45 through my bios. I will try lowering the memory clocks to see how...

Happier with a home built rig

Well, as of right now it's not even booting. The fans and PC are powered up, but it's just a blank screen on the monitor. I had this happen when I flashed the bios, and pulling out all but 1 RAM stick solved it. However, that's not even working anymore. I've tried all 4 different sticks, and...

Happier with a home built rig

I tried to overclock my rig with settings someone used on a very similar configuration using a stock fan, and is hitting 2.8ghz. However when I selected "save settings and exit" in the bios... it goes to a cold boot. Just a blank screen, no beeps, but the fans and CPU are powered. The only thing...

Happier with a home built rig

It was not too long ago that I was ready to plunk down for a pricey alienware. Well, I'm just popping back in here to say that I ended up building my own. Damn, that was cool! It offered some challenges, but I really learned alot. I just wanted to say thanks to you all for nudging me in that...

Best Socket 939 AGP mobo for OC'ing?

"Do you already have your ram? Corsair value sucks, as does getting 4x dual sided modules. I'd go for 2x1GB crucial value or some Patriot 1GB 2-3-2 modules. " No, I have not bought the RAM yet, but I was going to get this stuff Corsair TWINX1024-3200XL with 2-2-2-5 latency I know low...

Best Socket 939 AGP mobo for OC'ing?

Do you have the AV8 3rd eye or the AV8 K8T800? I see that the 3rd eye comes with the "guru clock" which sounds cool, but is it useful? The Tom's Hardware Guide review says overclockers will like the guru clcok, but are people really using it and getting higher OC's with that board? Also, is...

Best Socket 939 AGP mobo for OC'ing?

My subject line really sums it up. I'm about to buy and build a rig, but need to know which mobo is best for getting the most out of my CPU. Anyone have any experience with the Abit AV8 3rd Eye K8T800 for OC'ing? Here's the system I'm about to buy Athlon 64 4000+ (to overclock...

Can I overclock an Alienware PC?

I already have some vital parts for my yet to be built rig. My monitor is a Sony GDM-FW900 24" 16:9 aspect ratio CRT that supports up to 2304x1440 @80hz and runs 1600x1200 native. So I'm set display wise for whatever graphics cards I throw at it. I know the 7800 ultras aren't out yet, but...

Which CPU shall I get?

Given that it is proprietory software, it's hard to say which PC manufacturer will run it best. However, you mention that you would like to run movies, music, and edit photos at the same time. With that thrown into the number crunching CPU equation, I think it's clear that the AMD X2's will...

Can I overclock an Alienware PC?

First off, I'm an appreciative lurker. I've been reading the posts, and skimming from the collective wealth of knowledge. It's great to have such a resource. Now onto my question. I was going to buy an alienware ALX system, because it's overclocked already, but that's mega bucks. So I...
