Sad to see how few posts a.c.h.o gets these days. I certainly haven't done my part lately. I haven't even set up my desktop since I moved 18 months ago - and a fairly decent lthree-year-old laptop (T7300/3 GB/ 500 GB/nVidia 8600M GT/1680 x 1050) isn't a lot of overclocking fun (maybe 20% for the...

I am new to overclocking. I have a 2.6mhz quad core i5 running at 3.6mhz. The idle cpu temp hovers around 60c. When I run a stress test using Prime95 the temp goes to 95c. How much heat can a cpu take? thanks john

If you install a fast, uncluttered OS (say, Ubuntu/Gnome minus unneeded distro stuff), removing all unneeded extensions, you won't need to overclock. With your cool hardware, your machine will fly. Good luck! Always use a router, Grasshopper.

I had a couple "hangs" on my "new" PC where the Harddisk LED turns on continuously and the performance goes to near zero. The PC consists of a Gigabyte Ga-P31DS3L motherboard, Q8200 processor, eVGA 790 GTO videocard, 2x2GB Crucial PCII-6400 memory, 2 SATA harddrives, SATA DVD-R drive, OCZ 500W...

I am building a new system using a used Q8200, used Gigabyte GA-p31-DS3L, new 2x2GB PC6400 RAM. I have had it overclocked to 2.8 GHz, running fine overnight with Prime 95 torture test on all 4 cores. The BIOS is set for 400 FSB and "Auto" power settings. The problem. The machine has begun to...

I'm overclocking my E5200, or trying to. I set voltages to Manual, Vcore to 1.35, and in the Health BIOS screen it shows near that, I have C1E and EIST disabled. In Windows, cpu-z and Gigabyte Easy Tune show at or near 1.25, like they do when voltages aren't on Manual. I have the chipset...

can someone recommend a cpu fan for a 478 socket? I am having heat issues, and who doesn't! thanks john

In the BIOS Setup 'Ai Tweaker' menu of my Asus P5QL/EPU motherboard I just happened to notice that the BIOS setting "Memory over voltage" is shown as "2.10000" in *red*. I find the red colour scary. Why red? Would I lose anything by changing the setting to 'Auto'? (What are the implications of...

Hello all, I have a Sony Vaio pcg-fx501 laptop (about year 2000/2001 I think) which sports a Mobile Duron, 1Ghz, Morgan core. It runs very hot so I'm looking to underclock and or, at least, undervolt it slightly. There is, as far as I can see, no facility in the bios for this so I have to go...

For example, on a Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3, what is the actual voltage range (tolerance, plus or minus) if one sets "CPU Vcore" to the maximum operating voltage 1.3625 for an Intel Q9550? Thanks.

Hi everybody I just need help to correct bios settings, if possible to get best results - no overclock needed (as I havent got the propper cooler for the moment) : The main problem is my two DDR2 800 - 2 GB each (1) are only recognized as DDR 400 Mhz when I set bios to "optimized settings".

From the KVR800D2N5 RAM data sheet. Single Power Supply of +1.8V (+/- .1V) Clock Cycle Time (tCK) CL=5... 2.5ns (min.) / 8ns (max.) Row Cycle Time (tRC)... 57.5ns (min.) Refresh to Active/Refresh Command Time (tRFC)... 127.5ns Row Active Time (tRAS)... 45ns (min.) / 70,000ns (max.) From the...

not overclocked but the system was given to me as a junker because of "overheating." The bios was reading 90+C and I could only read it for a second before the system re-booted itself. So I replaced the fan and HS with a copper core intel HS and the temps are now in the mid 60's as according to...

Help me, my cpu keeps overclocking... From 2,2 to 2,7Ghz.. It causing most of my games run too fast or some of them slow. Plus usb devices are working only in BIOS. In bios everything is fine as it should be. But when it loads OS its overclocking itself again even after i reset cmos and going to...

Hello, I noticed that when installing powerstrip for my HP Pavillion dv5 notebook, with gpu 9600gt , 4gb ram and win 7 ultimate, that I am able to overclock the engine and memory clocks. At default, they are both at 400mhz, and I am wanting to overclock them in order to notice a slight performance...

http://www.anandtech.com/mb/showdoc.aspx?i=3661 Foxconn has cheaped out on the LGA1156 sockets which is causing some problems. The article is about overclocking but a few people in the comments been having problems at stock speeds.

Have not a clue where to start - bought the new Pentium E6300 2.8ghz (or relatively new anyways. Newer than the Conroe 1.8 E6300 anyway !) and have been told that taking it up to 4.0ghz isn't out of the question. I'd be happy with less than that TBH. Also, how can I "up" my 4gb of DDR2 sdram...
