whats a good user friendly overclocking program to get

Hi all, Well my Enermax is crapping out slowly. Rail voltages are down significantly so..... I put an identical AT case next to it and ran the lines over to just 2 CDRWs and 2 hard drives. Primary case is still running fans/CPU/MB/system. Here's the problem; I run from 8 to 10 15000 RPM drives in...

Hi, having just installed my first P4, there is something I wasn't sure of. What is that little black hole on the upper surface of the CPU?. I was worried about getting any AS/3 into it when I was applying the thermal goo. .. . thanks, -- Wayne ][

Hello, Thinking on installing Vista Home Premium on my system (Abit BE7 with PIV 3.06GB (O/C'd to 3.5GB), 1GB Ram) when it's released in a week or so, I have run the Vista upgrade advisor and this has said that my HPT372 Raid controller on my 4 year old ABit BE7 will not run. I have had a look...

Gee, what do the specs show, and why do you need some else to look them up? And stop massively crossposting; if you don't have time to read the specs, I'd guess you don't have time to participate in all the newsgroups either. -- Phil Weldon, pweldonatmindjumpdotcom For communication, replace...

So, going by the number of posts here these days it would seem that we've finally reached the point where computers are so powerful that nobody feels the need to overclock anymore. This group used to get many, many posts a day with informative stories on how folks had managed to squeeze those...

My 19" Viewsonic A90's vertical refresh rate peaks out@ 100 Hz for a resolution of 1024 x 728. For stereo 3-D video viewing purposes, I need it to display at this resolution at a bare minimum vertical refresh rate of approximately 120 Hz (though preferabley when I get another monitor, at about 170...

I have read posts that suggest minimal thermal compound. The Arctic Silver instructions also suggest a very small amount. http://www.arcticsilver.com/arctic_silver_instructions.htm I understand this advice if the concern is that too much compound may contaminate the pins and cause electrical...

I am trying to upgrade an Intel D815EEa with a 1.2 Piii and Upgradeware 370GU adaptor, but it has been crashing. This board, similar to one in a Dell Dimension 4100, has been tested to work with both the PowerLeap and Upgradeware adaptors. In my case, the board runs fine with an 800mhz Piii. I...

I just tried Intel Burn and wow. In just 5 minutes I found that my system had many CPU errors. I ran tests like Memtest86 and Prime95 for hours and they did not find any problems. The system seemed fine for months. Once I raised the CPU voltage 0.05 everything was fixed. It makes sense that...

I need to clean thermal compound from my heatsink/CPU and the manufacturer says acetone or high-purity (99%) isopropyl alcohol is the way to go. Anyone know where I can find either? I doubt my local pharmacy or hardware store carries either (though I could be wrong). Or am I taking their...

My chip is a P4 2.0 GHz and the cmos reports that after I press f1. My mobo is a TH7ii RAID. My memory is Samsung MR16R1628AF0-CK8 256x4. When I enter the bios by pressing del the info on my chip is greyed out (although it looks correct) and the setting for my cpu is 800(100)

Hi, I'm trying to use 2 x 256mb twinmos dimms with ch-5 winbond chips in dual ddr mode on my asus p4p800 motherboard. However whenever the dimms are in a dual ddr configuration the machine refuses to boot with a 2:3 (266mhz) memory divider. I can use the (333mhz) 4:5 divider but my fsb max's out...

I recently changed from EarthLink (nee Mindspring) after more than 15 years. Though as an ATT subscriber I've received no direct notice that ATT has discontinued Usenet service, there have been posts, seemingly from ATT, announcing the end of Usenet service. Any recommendations for a replacement...

I just put a new system together consisting of an Abit AI7, P4 2.6C CPU, and 1GB PC3700 RAM (two 512MB DIMMS). I bought everything from Newegg. I intend to OC (as I have in the past with many other systems). My dilemma is that Newegg sent me two Buffalo Tech PC3700 DIMMS, but one has Micron chips...

Can somebody explain the fsb/multiplier settings the chip would be set to at stock... and what changes I would need to make to run this at 2.8 3.0ghz I havent built a system with core 2 duo yet and my expierience with overclocking is with thoroughbred B AMD XP chips which overclocked by...

Anyone with a P4 board happen to notice what your agp and pci busses are running at in DEFAULT settings? My VIA P4MA PRO533 w/ Apollo P4M266A / VT8235 chipset supports 400/533 FSB and defaults the agp and pci at 88MHz and 44MHz respectively... My cpu is Intel 2.40b 533Mhz. There are no adjustments...
