    Overclock help

    I'm not sure if the motherboard is still under warranty, but according to the Asus website, the motherboard allows 3 years. I bought the mobo from Aria PC and just found out that they don't have the product anymore (discontinued). I'll call Asus tomorrow to find out. Hopefully I get a successful...

    Overclock help

    Update: The PC just crashed and shut down. Can't boot anymore. This was under STOCK settings. So, it's a mobo issue?

    Overclock help

    Scratch that. Ignore what I said. I've woke up and tried to boot the PC, the same thing happened again! Resetting the CMOS battery didn't work. Even though I had already drained the power out of the PC, resetting the CMOS still didn't work. Wait, actually, should I have unplugged the PSU cable...

    Overclock help

    Well, this is interesting. I've just re-loaded my OC profile (the same stable profile from last year) and so far, everything is still working. With the OC profile on, I've then unplugged everything, drained the PC power and tried to see if I can boot the PC. Yep, it did boot. Tested two times...

    Since resetting the CMOS battery, there's no problem with the stock speeds so far.

    Overclock help

    In early 2011, I was attempting an overclock and finally got a stable 4.6ghz overclok after weeks of trying (I stressed tested the CPU for 24 hrs and reported with no BSODs). Since then, I have no problem with my stable overclock so far (while gaming, etc.) - however I did get some BSODs...

    Bad NIC or just my settings?

    Yeah, I'm sure that I have installed the correct drivers. Or did I? The DVD that came with the card is labelled as "Marvell Miniport Driver" and this version is pretty old, which was updated by last year. I know this "Miniport" title is kinda misleading but it has one of these choices that...

    Bad NIC or just my settings?

    I don't use the crossover cable for the internet directly ... So, any actual solution would be more appreciated! thanks.

    Bad NIC or just my settings?

    Today, I have just purchased a Marvell Yukon Ethernet PCI-E card (model number is 88e8053) and a cat5e crossover cable. Installed the card. Booted on and then installed the latest drivers from the Marvell website. Everything seems fine, installation-wise. Before I can use the new NIC for...

    Overclocking help

    Looks like I'm stable from Prime95's small FFT. Now running IBT at max setting with 8 threads. What I find interesting is that the max temps now barely hit 70c (mind you, I've been running IBT for 1 hour now). Many people say that IBT outputs more heat than Prime95, lol... Yeah, I think...

    Overclocking help

    Ok, I have finally done it! OC'd to 4.6GHZ with the vcore offset of +0.025, which is equivalent to 1.320 ~ 1.340v (according to HWMonitor). I've been running Prime95 with Small FTL for 17 hours and so far, no issues! Is this enough to be a stable OC? The last time I had a 0x101 BSOD...

    Thanks but I'm sure some of these settings are not needed for 4.6ghz

    Overclocking help

    I have a few questions before I start overclocking my PC manually. I aim to reach 4.6GHz stable for 24/7 operation - and I believe that I won't use all of the full horsepower fully, maybe 8 hours a day. Before I ask, my spec: i7 2600k and some latest Asus board (the pro version). 1) Should...
