Hoi again all :) Just been messing with my CPU - added a little more thermal compound than the ultra thin (and i mean almost powdery) smear that was on it, superglued the Laser Locks on the L1 bridge, ready for the mod. Currently i have this setup running absolutely rock solid (running...

Hey all i have bumped my multiplier up to 12x to run at 2400mhz and was wondering what fsb and multiplier combo would be a better performance gain if any than just the multiplier as ive done. i have also bumped vcore to 1.7v. and running pc2700. is there more gain to be had in dropping multiplier...

My Computer boots up when it wants to it gets stuck sometimes on verifing DMI pool data .... or when u try to enter the bios. This has started since i added my new ram PC2700 512 DDR333, before i had PC2100 DDR266. I also overclock my pc so this proably doesn't help! I was overclocking my old ram...

Hey folks, Heard the 2.4C is a great chip to OC.what would be a good ,relatively cheap, mobo combo for good OC results.Heard some good things about Asrock? I've already got a decent watercooler,PC3700 DDR and a Geforce 5900. I'm switching from n epox 8kha+(disappointing 149 FSB) and 1800+T-Bird.

Hello all, I've got an NF7-s, XP 2600 Barton with HyperX PC3500 ram. Currently running 190x12 @ 1.725, 2-3-2-6 @ 2.7. Coolings done with a ThermalRight ALK-947U with a 80mm Tornado. Temps around 40C under load, but what is there, if anything, I can try to pass the 2.3 Ghz I'm at now? If anyone...

I need to re-attach the heatsink to my processor, should I use a thermal pad or paste? What are the pros / cons?

how do you tell if the cpu is throttling? at the moment i have it set to 50% in BIOS (but only because this was the default). mb is P4P800-s, cpu is P4 2.4C @ 3.0GHz. tia!

Looking for a quiet, maybe water cooled, case for use in a audio edit suite. Been looking at many water cooled cases but not sure how quiet they are. Plan on transplanting a P4c at 3200Mhz, M-Audio sound card, three hard drives, two rom drives and some other stuff into it.

Using via p4mapro 533 but can only go as high as 2.6. Any faster boards out there for this chip? I'd like to reach 3 with it if possible. Thanks for any ideas...

Just would like to cut down my fans as much as poosible thanks.

Hi, I've recently had to remove the heatsink from my p4 and take the processor out in order to get a replacement for a faulty motherboard. Do I need to clean the processor / heatsink and apply any thermal paste etc or should it be fine with the original stuff that's still on there. Any paste /...

does it make any sense to overclock a P3 733MHZ up to 1GHz, because i heared if you overclock a P3 CPU, the CPU will reset its MHz value without you notice it. is it true?

Let me begin by explaining to you my request. In September of 2003 I was diagnosed as having testicular cancer. Having no insurance I decided I would just do what i could to save myself. Long story short, I am at this time cancer free, but $30,000 in debt. I do not know where else to turn except to...

Took off Heatsink and no thermal compound left any reason this would happen ? Nothing on the CPu nothing on the heatsink ? The reason i did this becuase the CPu was running WAY to hot, it was running like 20c Ambient and 55 to 60 on idle and light load ? I have two thermal compounds one i got...

Board = Asus PC-DL Deluxe No parts @ all, I will even have to get the parts for the HSF before I can put them on. Question, which one. Or, should I say which two. Should I get 2.66 GHz Xeon's? Or should I get 2.8 GHz I want to get 3.2 GHz or so, and am I thinking on the right line to only...

Hi there. I've managed to get hold of a free, working 2ghz Celeron (system pull). I tried to sell it - but noone was interested. So i've decided to build a machine based around the P4 architecture. Currently, i'm thinking of an AOpen AX45-4DN with this Celeron, with a view to replacing it with a...

Came across this article at Antec's website. If you check the test results, they give three versions of 100% load, each highlighting one of the 5, 12, and 3.3v amperage ratings. This gives you some insight to how the various amperages listed on the label really add up in actual usage. Note you...

Is the Silent Boost a Hoaz ? You would think it would be on the front page ? Thanks.
