For me cpu-z is 100% inaccurate, i have my cpu set to 1.350v and it shows 1.240v. Coretemp shows the correct value under VID but i dont know if that measures it or just tells you what you have set in your bios because it also doesnt show the effect of speedstep.

I personally dont like wireless mice, theyre pretty heavy and you dont really get the precision as with a nice corded mouse. And then theres the batteries. I got a Logitech MX-518 a while back and love it.

Bumped up the voltage to 2.1V and Vwha-la, everything is working great. Haven't stress tested for a long time yet but it seems to be running good. Thanks for all the help Bill PS Does Orthos stop on errors like Prime95 does?

Lots of good info there, you know the more time I spend reading these forums, the more I want to OC my stuff. By now i am seriously looking into doing a mild OC on my cpu. Especially given the fact that after running Orthos for nearly 2 hours my core temps peaked @ 45c or 55c to tjunct max...

Well I changed the settings back to auto and windows booted up fine so I didn't even have to do the repair.

Ok so I tried changing it to 4-4-4-12 and 1.9v and I got this weird error about the /System/Config file from windows and it wanted me to pop in the XP cd to repair my windows installation. Any thoughts?

Thanks for the help Bill :)

I have 2 sets of this RAM http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820145034 The advertised CAS timings seem to be inconsistent and i was wondering what you guys think. Some places say 4-4-4-12 and other parts say 5-5-5-18. The stock settings my mobo (P5K-E) is running them at is...

thanks much dude, formatted it and now its all good, thanks again :D

Hi, The drive in question is a WD 250gb Caviar SATA drive (WD2500KS) After building up my new system and installing windows and all that good stuff i decided to connect my 2 storage HDD's and after trying many different combinations one of my hard drives will not show up in My Computer. It...

Well after trying 7-8 different combinations of my dvd roms and hdds it finally booted up straight into the bios with a message saying something along the lines of "Several failed boot attempts failed....." So i got to go into the bios and make most of the necessary changes. But even after that...

Just got mine today, had a few questions for the pros Mobo Rev 1.05 BIOS 1.50 Are there any specific settings i should be changing in the bios before installing Windows XP SP2? I am running: A64 3700+ San Diego 6800Ultra OC 4x512mb PC3200 Corsair TwinX ram WD 320gb SATA I WD 74gb...

I just updated the bios to the newest version from which I was told would fix the problem by an AwardBios Tech. But it still recognizes the drive as a 136gb and freezes at the windows screen after a fresh format. I think I'm gonna end up sending this one back.

while he does have a similar problem his thread doesnt supply any answers :(

I recently purchased a WD 320gb SATA drive and every time I format my comp freezes at the windows loading screen right after it copies all the windows files and reboots. I guess I should also mention that in the BIOS it does recognize the drive as being 136gb but in the windows setup its...
