    Silverstone 1000w

    answers to johnnys question. simulating load can be a few different ways. there is an adapter for the fluke 199c that plugs into the wall and acts as a flawed ground. you tag the psu where u want to test. then you hook up the aux leads to test for draw. or you can hook up a few different car...

    Silverstone 1000w

    you do realize that if u start at something quieter than a 120mm fan on low and end at 10db louder it still isnt loud. now if it was a jet engine and 10 db louder. im sure we would notice. just wondering what that posts intention was.

    OCing for 680i - Step by Step - Please Correct if Incorrect

    every single 680 board i have seen isnt smart enough to put the ram voltage where it needs to be. (bfg, evga, foxcom, striker, normal asus.) on my dominator pc8888 it thinks it should be 1.9 volts. WRONG. these bad dawgs need 2.4volts to hit their advertised speeds. not to overclock 1 single...

    OCing for 680i - Step by Step - Please Correct if Incorrect

    few tips and things of note. first, youll want to make sure and give your memory the correct voltage. do this while setting the voltage of the processor. 40mhz a jump is fine for a C2d chip. for a kents i would say 30 till 3.4ghz then 20hz jumps. depending on cooling youll want to stay in...
