    Installed my OCZ Vendetta 2

    Got my OCZ V2 installed and the whole system set up. I love it, keeps temperatures well within the range of "safe (per Intel)" even with a long run on IntelBurnTest (though it did get higher than I was 100% comfortable with, everyone goes slightly past their safe-zone, I think).

    Antec 900 and 2 HD4870's in Crossfire?

    I'd strongly suggest against the Antec 900. tight, little room for the install, JFP1 and USB cables are barely the length needed, and the whole "power supply on bottom" thing doesn't work elegantly with either the Antec Neopower HE550 or the Corsair HX520, with the CPU 8pin cable being...

    Installed my OCZ Vendetta 2

    I also have an OCZ V2 that has been causing some issues but the motherboard died on me, so it's a moot point for now: Even if it's possible to INSTALL the heatsink inside the case (but difficult) have you found any good way to uninstall it inside the case? Two of the thumbscrews are directly...

    Athlon X2 overheating?

    I realize that this is the CPU & Overclocking forum, not the Cooling forum, but if anyone has experience with the Arctic 64 Freezer: How are the motherboard clips for it? Currently I'm using a Thermaltake TMG-A2, which seems to do the job and get heat away decently when it's attached...

    5200+ OC'd to 2.8 - Temps Question:

    I've OCed my 5200+ to about 3.07 at 1.375v. My temps were 28-30 at idle, and 58-60 at full load after several hours. This is with a ThermalTake TMG-A2 CPU heatsink, and an Antec 900 case with all fans at 'high' or '100%'. I'm looking at picking up a new CPU heatsink for this reason...

    Trying to find OC settings for a friend

    That would be 1300 and 1352, respectively. 400 is 1600, 333 is 1333, et cetera.

    Did something smart

    Let it warm up a bit, remove battery, remove plug, reinstall battery, reinstall plug... ... and now it's working. Thank your favorite deity for me.

    Did something smart

    Being the lazy idiot that I am, upon leaving work, I placed my laptop into 'standby' mode, and drove home. Upon returning home last night I did... nothing with it. The laptop was left in the car in sub-freezing weather. Now that I am at work again, the laptop's power adapter is showing a...

    Where to find replacement modular cords?

    Modular seems to have a different meaning for those of us who have a habit of misplacing somewhat essential things and then deciding that they need them. In any event, I could definitely use a few more connectors for my Antec Power Supply (maybe two more molex, for fans, and a dedicated PCI-E...

    R680 naked

    For 'gamer mainstream'? If you're talking about 'I need my computer to play the Vista window-opening animations, you may have a point. For those that are looking to play 'Doom 3 or more recent' 3D computer games? 200-250 is probably a much more fair assessment of the 'mainstream cutoff' given...

    How to guide: Memtest86+, Prime95, and SP2004

    I can run Orthos stable for as long as I care to watch the screen, and the 2-threaded prime95 for about 18 hours stable (temperatures go a bit higher than I'd like them to after 12-15hrs of 100% CPU usage, but that's a different concern, need a different CPU cooler). In any event, if I stop...

    Prescribed procedures for replacing motherboard

    Alright, so i recently decided to replace my MSI k9AG Neo2-digital with the Biostar tForce 590. Open it up, eveything, everything goes right. I go through installing the new software for Biostar and removing the MSI software that I can find using add/remove programs. But my wireless internet...

    AMD is up to something...

    Looks like they've found their niche. The advantages of the V8650 outweigh its minor disadvantages, and at a significantly lower price, nonetheless. Granted, that's a bit of a tight niche compared with mainstream graphics/processors, but I believe that Cool&Quiet keeps AMD as one of the...

    Odd 5200+ Overclocking

    COMPUSA firesale doesn't start for another 4 days, and it's only 10% then, so went online and looked at what they had there. Ended up going with the Biostar 590SLI one. Read some reviews, looked at screenshots of the BIOS, etc, and it seems like it behaves itself pretty well, as well as the...

    Odd 5200+ Overclocking

    Going to head over to COMPUSA to see what the firesale looks like. If I can pick up an ASUS nVidia 570 based board for less than a buck fifty, I'm probably going to go for it.

    Odd 5200+ Overclocking

    I've got the most recent BIOS, according to LiveUpdate. No feature shown either in the manual or in the BIOS. Suggestion is update motherboard anyway, because that would seem to suggest other oversights? EDIT: I had been pondering getting another motherboard anyway, as my current one...

    Odd 5200+ Overclocking

    Anyone have any insight? The lack of an obvious HTT multiplier setting has been annoying me, so I went back to stock, but it seems like a waste of a good CPU cooler and good RAM rated for higher voltages.

    Phenom TLB patch benchmarked (Tech Report)

    Keep in mind that there's evidence that would seem to indicate that the quad core architecture and new process. Obviously, the fact that the CPU died isn't a great sign, but this article seems to suggest that K8 v. K10 performance isn't nearly where we should expect, and we may expect some...

    AMD's 2008 K8 Roadmap

    That was pretty much my point, entirely. The programming of most games these days is oriented specifically around Nvidia graphics cards, and 'optimized' for that purpose. Supreme Commander is an outlier, granted, and because most games perform far better on Nvidia systems is a good reason to...

    AMD's 2008 K8 Roadmap

    Isn't that exactly what they have been doing? This whole 'Spider' deal and all? Honestly, the benchmarks are in and they're pretty revealing (especially this most recent garbage with the TLB bugfix, 57% slower when browsing the internet is, well, crazy, though maybe you would take less of a...

    Blizzard is hiring for 'TopSecret' project

    A true 'next-gen' MMO would include having an interactable world that characters could actually change in meaningful ways. So far every attempt at that has, well, failed miserably (Most notable, I think, was Mourning: Realms of Krel, which involved a number of hardcore features like...

    Odd 5200+ Overclocking

    So now I'm wondering if it would be worthwhile, for now, to upgrade my motherboard to something like one of these, to unlock more overclocking options: http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16813128014 http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16813130048 Obviously, I'd rather hold...

    Odd 5200+ Overclocking

    It ran PRIME95 torture test beautifully last night for more than 5 hours, so I'm not sure if I'm actually showing stability issues (this was after I had discovered how to adjust the CPU voltage and set it to 1.325) at 228. Unfortunately, my motherboard doesn't seem to have an HTT multiplier...

    Odd 5200+ Overclocking

    I haven't lowered the HT multiplier, it's set to Auto though, so it might do it itself. This is screencap of CPU-Z: http://i205.photobucket.com/al...33/gmofftarki/CPUZ.jpg [e] Guess you guys don't like embedded imaging

    Odd 5200+ Overclocking

    As an update: I've determined anecdotally that the MSI "Dual-CoreCenter" utility does increase memory voltage. Running 3DMark05, it would not go past the second or third step, until I increased RAM voltage. When I did so, it successfully completed the benchmark.

    Odd 5200+ Overclocking

    I've got the MSI K9-A2 Neo2-Digital motherboard, and an AMD 5200+ motherboard. So, obviously, to get the most out of my low priced system, I attempt to overclock it. The CPU voltage is not adjustable, any way that I've found. The RAM voltage is not adjustable through the BIOS, but the MSI...
