    Newb needs opinion on oc

    Well, I did test my setup. Running Everest Ultimate while having CPU-Z opened the cpu multiplier did jump from 12x to 21x with core speed bopping around 3.2 - 3.6 ghz. I'm satisfied with leaving speed step on. I like the idea of not pushing my processor to it's limit 24x7. The computer is idle...

    Thank you groebuck! I'll dive back into the bios and confirm my current settings. I will disable speed step and HT and run some benches while checking cpu-z again. Thanks again!

    Newb needs opinion on oc

    So, I'm not giving up anything by having speed step on? The system is stable yet I still would like to know what the processor is actually overclocked to. What program would tell me this? Do I turn off speed step to let the multiplier default to it's 20x state and note the core speed in cpu-z? I...

    Newb needs opinion on oc

    Thanks for the reply sirmonkey1985! Is there a way I could verify what speed the overclock is set to other than CPU-Z? A different program? Dose the QPI speed in the screen cap CPU-Z image indicate the actual processor speed? (32440 Mhz) If you look at the second image regarding the memory...

    Hello, I have a new home built computer which I had assembled at a local computer service center (friends business). They had never overclocked a core i7 920 before and I'm concerned that it wasn't done properly. I say this because when I look at CPU-Z it indicates that the processor is running...

    New Monitor Questions

    Ok, I just layed down my cash for the HP LP2275W. Although there is limited information on this monitor and almost non-existant reviews my gut told me to go for it. I've looked at several TN panels (Samsung and the like) and I wanted better color/clarity (S-PVA) as I'm doing more photo editing...
