Comp used to work lovely but now...HELP!

So I have all new equipment with Windows 7 Ultimate, everything worked swimmingly for 6 months, but now it will just freeze for no good reason. Not a BSOD, just everything is stuck. It came on with more and more frequency to the point where now I can't get it to start up. Here's the...

OC Questions on 1055T

I changed the bus speed down to 250 for a little more stability since it wasn't making it through stress tests (but I think that's due to a voltage problem that I get to later). Both the HT Link and the NB are now at 2257 MHz and the CPU is at 3500 MHz. I also adjusted the DRAM ratio to 3:10...

OC Questions on 1055T

I am using a 1055T on an ASUS M4A89GTDPRO. The only adjustments that I made were to adjust the CPU Freq up to 255, the CPU voltage to 1.35, and the CPU/NB Voltage to 1.25. HT Voltage is still stock @ 1.2 as is the SB Voltage @ 1.1. Question 1: Under full load encoding video, CPUID tells me...

AMD Thuban X6 OCing database

Voltage increase did seem to help- thanks! Handbrake was crashing during video encoding but was able to go all the way no prob with the extra voltage. What do you think about the CPU Ratio, which can be increased to 16.5? (I can also change it for each of the 6 cores) Is it better to stick...

AMD Thuban X6 OCing database

I have a couple questions on the subject. I recently purchased a 1055T and an ASUS M4A89GTDPRO. I'm new to the OC world so if there are any great guides then please do link, but my question may be more specific to the settings available to me on this particular board. It has a built in...

Question on (Noctua) aftermarket CPU cooler

I'm installing the Noctua NH-U9B over an AMD 1055T. Two questions: 1. Before installing the heatsink over the CPU, is it better to apply the thermal compound on to the bottom of the heatsink or onto the CPU? 2. AMD manual says warranty is void unless you use their garbage included fan. Has...

Need help with 1090T vs 1055T

Well, thanks to all who have contributed to the thread. I finally pulled the trigger on the 1055T with an ASUS M4A890 PRO with 6 GB/s and USB3. The 1055T will be cooled by a Noctua 92mm CPU fan/heatsink and complemented with 8GB of 1.65v 7-8-7-24 RAM. I was considering some 1.35v with...

What benefits would be gained from a better South Bridge (or North Bridge for that matter) ?

Need help with 1090T vs 1055T

How about the motherboard to go with them? Whether the 1055T or the 1090T, is there any reason to get higher than a 770 board? Or are the only benefits Crossfire, SLI, more USB 3.0, etc? If the processor speeds and OC abilities are the same, then I would just as soon stay with 770 Gigabyte or...

Need help with 1090T vs 1055T

What's the difference between being unlocked and not? I thought it was the ability to OC, but have read that the 1055T is still pretty OC-friendly...

Need help with 1090T vs 1055T

Noise was definitely part of the equation. As another member so eloquently described the x6 stock fan's 'whine', it will "make you want to put a shotgun in your mouth". Sure it was qualified as an overstatement, but still hilarious.

Need help with 1090T vs 1055T

For the most part, it looks like the 1090T is $300 vs $200 for the 1055T. If one of my main purposes is encoding video, a multi-threaded process that can max out both cores of my E6750, is the 1090T worth considering for an extra $100? For either CPU, I would be adding a Noctua or Zalman CPU...

RAM questions: 1600 v 1333, heatsinks, timing, AHHHH!

Just looking for some clarification: Planning on getting a Gigabyte GA-770TA-UD3 motherboard for an AMD Phenom II x6 1055t. I want to overclock the CPU so I will be adding a Noctua NH-U9B SE2 CPU fan. My first choice for RAM was G.Skill Ripjaws series, but I've read multiple places that the...

recommendation for new board for 1055T

I'm also looking at the 1055t, and probably going to OC it. Do you guys who have one recommend using an aftermarket CPU fan / heatsink or artic silver, or does it OC just fine using the stock cooling?

Difference in Phenom ii x4 chips

In that same regard, if I were instead considering the Phenom II X6 1055t 125w because of multithreaded applications, would it worth waiting for the 95 watt version that is supposedly coming out soon? I read on some PC website that the 95w 1055t was due out in May 2010, but haven't been able to...

Ripjaws series RAM differences?

I'm building a rig with an AMD Phenom II X4 965 on an ASUS M4A79XTD mobo (at least that's the best bang for the buck I could match it up with). The mobo says it does DDR31800 (O.C.) with standard support for 1600. So my question comes in selecting the RAM. I came across two version of G.Skill...

Difference in Phenom ii x4 chips

Does anyone have experience with the 125 watt vs 140 watt AMD phenom ii x4 965? I haven't been able to find reliable info regarding the pros/cons of one vs. the other. I edited the title for you so everyone would not be confused. I saw your last edit reason. Markfw900 Anandtech Moderator

Good CPU for ripping BluRay to an HTPC?

I may have jumped the gun when I said I would only be ripping. I started to play with the software and unless I find another way, I just discovered that it is indeed very processor intensive, as I currently am transcoding as well. I started with AnyDVD ripping a standard 8 GB DVD into video TS...

Good CPU for ripping BluRay to an HTPC?

I was just going to run a single 1 TB drive for now and then add more as necessary. I've read that higher capacity drives aren't as bulletproof as the 1 TB but I guess that's an entirely different conversation for another forum. Regarding what's been mentioned about the software and encoding...
