I've had something like this happen to a few computers i've come across with.
There's a chance that your mobo is dead if clearing the cmos does not work.
Some games are more cpu intensive than others. Ones that are more cpu intensive can get a decent boost from the cache.
Other than that all the current processors with 4mb cache have higher multi's which help with overclocking.
For the most part u won't see much bonus to extra cache unless...
Bandwidth is NOT greater than timings......
It depends how much bandwidth you get after losing some timings.
If you only get like 20mhz extra and u go from cas 4-5 then ur better off at cas 4....
On the other hand if you gain 100mhz from moving cas 4-5 then you're better off with...
The REAL difference between the E4300 and E6300 is the manufacturing process.
The 6300 has 4mb cache with 2mb disabled which was how they did it initially.
Now they have a better manufacturing process so they make E4300 which only has 2mb cache to begin with which makes it cheaper to...
What guitardaddy said is pretty much the gist of it.
If the overclock is only slightly bad then u won't even notice anything but u'll get errors if you check it with programs like ORTHOS.
He makes a really good point i didnn't check what mobo u were using.
U gotta make sure the mobo u use can support higher fsb increments.
A good budget motherboard would be the Asus P5N-E SLI for overclocking.
Or even the Msi version which is the P6N SLI-FI which should be cheaper.
BTW if...
Honestly if you want your computer to be silent just buy any good cooler and don't put a fan on it. They'll run cooler than your stock heat sink fan and be ABSOLUTELY silent.
Some examples of decent coolers are Ultra 120, Scythe Infinity, Tuniq Tower 120. Even with no fan these coolers...
If you ask me all the 1333FSB chips are a waste of money.
Why would i pay for that when i can easily just overclock to 1333FSB. Especially since the multipliers are downward unlocked.
They're just cheaping you out on a higher multiplier.
Its like paying a x6800 price for an e6700.
what software is being upgrade?
I think you should probably go back and describe the problem with more detail.
just saying i'm losing my partition is very vague.
I can't really tell what the true problem is but i would get a new hard drive if that's the case.
Also 4 ur keyboard...
Have you checked your temps and maybe try an orthos overnight test?
Just look up orthos or sp2004 in google u'll find a the dl.
like some1 said earlier maybe try reinstalling windows.
Also even though your memory is ok it's possible that some program has a memory leak causing u 2 do a...
You're just crapping your pants for no reason man. Building a computer is fairly simple and especially when you just leave everything at stock. With everything at stock it should all just go by smoothly.
99% of these problems are when people try to do something special like use raid...
You're right. Even at 3.6ghz with the best ram settings i only get VERY close to 14.00 seconds. On the other hand if he has his memory going at hmm about 1200mhz+ it is possible for him to get that score.
Those damn 939's seem to be getting more and more expensive ever since amd stopped production so i would say the sooner you get it the better.
hmmm but factoring in intel's price drop probably the best time 2 buy is RIGHT after april 22nd.
BTW if you didn't realize the X2 and opteron's are pretty much the same. The only real difference is that opterons have twice the cache and tend to overclock better than the X2's. I used to have an opteron 165 and i loved it. If you're willing to spend a bit of extra cash over the x2 3800 i...
I can tell you right now it is IMPOSSIBLE for you to overclock your cpu if you have an E6300 processor because the FSB CPU and RAM speeds are LOCKED to each other. ALL your speeds are dependant on the FSB.
An E6300 has a native fsb of 1066 which is actually 266. It is quad pumped so u...
I've used the P5N-E SLI and i think its an awsome board for price/performance ratio.
It morbidly needs a vDroop mod because the vDroop on that board is crazy. A vDroop mod is so easy to do on that board tho.
If that's what you're gonna be doing with your computer then i would suggest not doing the move to C2D.
I have a C2D and i think its great but it would b a waste with the stuff that you do with it.
If you're getting pauses from copying files its probably cause of your hard drive and not...
If you check anandtech they had something on watt/clock ratio just a little while back. I'll have to go digging to find it but i think i remember Brisbane and C2D not being far apart at all.
As for the opteron 1210 and opteron's in general. Opteron's are pretty much higher binned...
Unless you set your ram at over 2.6v you're not gonna fry your RAM. You can set your ram to any speed and it will not fry. Only voltages will fry your ram. The only problem you will get is u might have to clear your cmos if you get a failed overclock.
If you're gonna overclock your ram get...
Personally I would go for the E6600 just look at my sig. I'm confident that pretty much all E6600 can hit 3.6ghz with the right cooling. As for the 6400's and below i know many top out at 3.3ghz or so.
If you want RAM as cheap as possible ur not gonna believe me but buy Kingston PC-5400...
Who said an E4300 won't go past 3ghz? I used a 4300 on my buddy's computer and it easily hit 3.3ghz with decent air cooling. I'm confident that most of them can hit 3.3ghz if you go look over at xtremesystems.com many ppl are hitting that range.
I also did 12 hours of orthos with it...
I personally wouldn't buy a 6400. Why even bother when the e6300's performance is pretty much identical. As for 6300 vs 4300 they are once again pretty much the same. I would just get the 4300 cuz its cheaper. Your best bet tho is the 6320 when it comes out.
I guess it really boils down...
I can't wait 4 this 2 come out i'm gonna get it asap.
I was looking for something 2 replace my TTBT cuz it just wasn't cutting it.
I used to have an xp-90 and it was a damn efficient cooler
Thermalright seems to really know their stuff and make really efficient coolers.
The ultra 120+...
I have and use Coollaboratory Liquid Pro and it works really well probably the best out there.
Its not really all that hard 2 handle and apply as some people have said.
But I would really like to say that you shouldn't be using it on a cooler that has any aluminum at all.
To be honest...
Well I was sitting around doing nothing so i figured i'd just give it a go again.
Everything else the same stats but i bumped the proc to 3.8ghz and closed all my programs.
13.532s 1m SuperPi
Validation: 8350DB92
I think that places me 7th on that spreadsheet woot :D
*edit* er...
If you really want an AMD you're best bet is the opteron 1210. That thing overclocks really well and is pretty much the same price. I always like opteron amd's the best. It also has double the cache of your 4200 windsor core which is always an added bonus. Opteron's in general just run so...
You should probably stop when the load temps get past 55-60C.
I notice most conroe's start pulling errors at this temperature when they're oc'd very high.
I've seen some results with the week 32 that you have there. Many of them can hit 3ghz at less than 1.4v
As for your ram you didn't...
At 3.6ghz the fastest time i've gotten is 14.045s
I have a validation for only 14.45 seconds tho here it is: E3C4F42D
This is with a bunch of programs running.
CPU: e6600
CS: 3.6ghz
RAM: G.Skill 6400hz @ 900mhz 4-4-4-8 1T
Cooling: TTBT modded 150cfm fan
Stability: At most I've done 20...
I overclocked my buddy's 4300 and I couldn't get the damn thing to go past 3.3ghz.
It was a bit of a disappointment.
I probably just had my hopes up too high for it.
I can say on the other hand I was a bit limited by temps though.
I was using the P5N-E SLI motherboard.
At 3.3ghz I...
