Sandy bridge are stupidly easy for over clocking as long as it is k edition. I spent lot time on this q6600 getting it to run at 3.5 stable(my everyday machine). 2500 is my gaming rig and only used as such. Took my less then 1 min to overclock
I would first try like the one person did and reset the board to factory defaults. The next thing is to download the current version of cpu-z . And may post a screenshot for us to look at. When you post screenshot of cpu z have it running prime 95 with all cores. And if it is i5 (2500)sandy...
Hum this seems similar to the stuff I heard when pheonm came out. Unitl anandtech reviews or another sit let say that it begins with t reviews I will not take it as fact
Well I call myself amd fan boy. Right now my gaming rig houses i5 2500k. For my use it would rare that I need that many cores. I do video encoding about twice year but have more then 8 computers on hand to help with encoding. So if need more processing power I would turn on extra machine. My...
I would say they are core 2quad are still relevant. My q6600 until a month ago was my main gaming rig always did more then 30 fps with 460. It was upgrade to sandy bridge 2500k. I have few phII they are faster then q6600 and overclock better, but I would not make gaming rig out phII ,sandy...
At this point. It really could be just about anything. While looking up smart data on hdd will let know if you hdd is bad. It won't tell you it is good 100%. What you are going to need to do is start testing different components of the machine on a test rig. Other thoughts is that ram could...
Well my main gaming rig is a q6600 overclocked with upgrade video card. I also have x3 710 as my second gaming rig unlocked and overclocked to 3.5 the 620, 715 and 3800 single core. I am thinking it will be a good upgrade from the q6600
I ran a motherboard asus m4a785-m on board video is 4200. I was wonder what people have overclocked that to. I update my gigabyte board bios and the bios update jumped the video core to 700. So I updated the bios on this board it did not give video core cpu to 700. But I was able to manual...
Yeah my 8600 just stopped working . I am looking at getting 5770 well I don't game all the time on the box. It would be nice to have the ablitiy when freinds come over. t
Well my oldest cpu in current everday use is my q6600 but since it runs 3.8 ghz is aslo my fastest. I recently retired amd 64 3800 single core old file server/media server retires with 56,000 hrs of use still works. just not in current daily use. I aslo run web server with 2 single core 2.4 ghz...
Well I my main file server run amd 620 and then my everyday workstation run amd 710 with the 4th core unlocked and overclock to 3 ghz. The 620 runs at stock speed because it is just file server/media center box. However I do video converts from .wtv -.dvix about every 3 months. The amd 710 is...
what I would do to be sure is run prime 95 and cpu-z that should bring your cpu to max frequancy. Certian screen in the os on mine report the default speed but it diffenet still overclocked
I always use the even build of fedora seems to by more stable. I work we use ubuntu. I like both os I still prefer fedora. I use fedroa 12 in my everyday workstation.
I have the same issue with extranel usb drive determined the at it was power supply extranal unit. Determined this by take the drive out and plug it into ide port drive works fine.
I have Phenom 710 unlocked the 4th core. Looking at cafeda post I will try to overclock on it to. I am not going to look at the batch number becuase I a not going to take heatsink off. But it revision rb-c2. Have run prime 95 on for 2 hrs no issue. Also been up overnight no issues. will update...
I original in this rig I ran dual core 6600e. Newegg had the 6600q on sale this Monday so bought. Knowing that my friend has the same cpu and overclocked just while as my dual core. So my final setting look like they well be 355 x 9. With .112 volt increase. Though to get more I need better cpu...
I need to good quick app to complete stress out my new cpu. I used prime95 which is passed. But that did not seem full use all cores I am tiring to fine tune the voltage. I set cpu to speed of 6600e(my old cpu) which was 355 X 9 which on that box had ran it with voltage overage .125. When I...
Western Digital Caviar Green WD7500A ADS 750GB 32MB I ran that one as one of the drives in my file server for about 1 year now. Never hear anything mor then fan noise from machine. THe other note I have many hd that use one of them that is in use as boot drive is old 80gb ide western digtal...
I use fedroa but recommend ubuntu for most people and I have amd laptop did upgrade had pull back to generic driver. SO no default support of 3d mode with ati yet. I have not worked on get the ati driver runnning again on fedroa 11 since laptop shares it with vista
I would stick to the quad core. I have 2 single core xeon on my web server and from testing for most part all my dual core machine will beat it. Interconnect bandwitdh ie most cpu have on board cache to store all request coming into the waiting for cpu to do it. From what I seen on my machine...
Well Basically you need to look for cable card that has digtal tv support since analog is dead. But i built freind media center system with hauppage card his be fine would recommend them. I run ati tv cards 650 have had no issue running them for couple years now. But since amd sold that branch...
i do run nvidia drivers on my nforce 3 board but I actual had to hack parts of nforce 2 driver and nforce 4 driver to get vista run properly.(for the record that board board is very stable it has the record for up 5 months vista up had to update,also record with only soft reset 9 months) also...
I use perfectdisk one advantage of any windows defrag you defrag just one file or the entire drive. You can also defrag the sytem files which window defrag will not. also you setup to defrag hd when it get above certain fragmention plus you can set how high priotry you want. On my media center /...
I would say that it is on high side but not high enough to case trouble as long it does not get hotter. Might want try to arrange inside wirning better. Check fan oprationn. I have same chipset it run much cooler. although I have motherboard in my media center system northbrige rans that runs...
I would go with 64bit version their is ram deference but it very little and from my overall testing their was .05% slower usingg 32 bit to 64 bit. However the only that was ntoice boot times were about 3 sec slow in 32 bit mode of windows 7.
