Hi, I'm just going through my last *stability* tests, and would like to begin testing the overclocking aspects of my new rig. I wanted to get the machine *Rock-Solid* using stock settings, now I got a solid base to work from on my overclocking! Intel® Pentium® 4 - 2.6GHz Intel® Retail HSF

I overclocked my radeon to 321/363Mhz and it worked fine (no artefacts in games) up till one day when I turned my pc on and saw black stripes going from top to bottom of the screen. I rebooted the machine and everything is fine again. I went back to the default values again in fear of...

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LEGAL!!!!! You are requesting a legitimate service and you are paying for it!! Like most of us I was a little skeptical and little worried about the legal aspects of it all. So I checked it out with the U.S. Post Office (1-800-238-5355) and they confirmed that it is indeed...

Unfortunately my VIA K8T800 MB chipset doesn't allow for AGP/PCI bus locking. I can run my system at 76AGP and 38PCI (229fsb) but it'll crash/lockup after a 30 sec or so. 220 is stable all day. Is there a general rule of thumb for the max or near unstable limits of oc'ing the AGP/PCI bus or a way...

Hi, I recently jump into the OC hobby with a new computer based on an ASUS P4P800-865PE and a Prescott (my mistake...) 2.8E 800FSB. I would like some advice on how to get more performance if possible or if I'm already topped out. Please keep in mind that I'm new at this... System:

Hey, Geforce FX 5900 XT here with 56.72 driver and coolbits to oc ... I adjusted cpu and mem clock from 390/700 to 445/800 (runs like a charm) ... After rebooting, the cpu clock remains @ 445 but the mem clock is set back @ 700 ??? I installed rivatuner, but same result ...

Hi, Call me stupid but what the heck is the PWM? It's running at 71 degrees C which is hot! And I'm also assuming this. Whilst the fans on the PSU suck hot air out of the case. Any other case fans suck room temperature air in? Thanks in advance for answering my dumb questions. I've never had to...

I'm going to NTFS when I clean install XP in my new box. Will it adversely affect benchmarks, perceived speed? -- Tally Ho! Ed, Maryland, USA

I have a Sapphire radeon 9600 atlantis 256MB and I want to add an Arctic vga cooler to it. One problem, this card has no fan power connector. Does anyone know where I can hard wire the fan to the board? or an alternative solution other than buying a new card?

HI, I'm confused: My Mobo requires Dual channel DIMM DDR400 or DIMM DDR333. I've found that PC3200 means DDR400 and PC2700 means DDR333 but I usually only find those offered as SDRAM. Is SDRAM the same as DIMM?

While browsing the Abit site for the specs of their NF7-S I came across the AN7. Overhere, in NL, the price-difference is just 10 Euros/Dollars. On Overclockers.com the review on the AN7 sounds pretty nice. The AN7 seems to have mainly some improvements on where and how things are located on the...

My 'gamble' arrived today: a P3-S 1.4Ghz CPU with a missing Vcore pin purchased on eBay for the princely sum of $20 shipped (they usually go for around $150 with all 370 pins). I figured the CPU might work with one missing Vcore pin, but I suppose the seller would have tried that. Didn't work. It...

Hi, I have a Gigabyte 7-VRXP and I want to upgrade my Athlon 2000 to the fastest cpu that will run in this motherboard. The Gigabyte site says this is a thoroughbred core (266FSB) Athlon 2600XP, but no-one seems to stock these anymore, not even the distributor. All the 333FSB cpus are listed as...

Hi, This summer I want to start building a new PC. I am wondering which CPU to select for this project. I would like to use a CPU (AMD or Intel) with a clockspeed 2.5GHz. Also I'd like to be able to significantly overclock the CPU. Last time I checked (Dec-2003) I heard that AMD has locked their...

Ok, so I know it's not the best board in the world, but its worked for me so far, and its been pretty stable. I'm running a PIII 800 Mhz chip in it and I've managed to get it to run stable at 915 Mhz. My question is, is there a way to change the voltage with a Biostar mobo? I've been through all...
