    Recommended HSF for my CPU?

    Hi Guys, I've got Core2Duo at 3.33Ghz (i.e. an Intel E8600 Wolfdale at stock speed). At the moment I'm running it with the Intel-supplied HSF. But it's running pretty hot and gets close to 70 degrees celcius at full load. In the past I've managed to fit an Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro to...

    XP with 4GB RAM?

    Help with E8600

    Thanks guys. I thought I might have had a duff CPU and would have to send it back to Newegg. Dnottis I did what you said and changed the "CPU ratio setting" (under "CPU Configuration" in my BIOS, v.0261 American Megatrends) to from 6.0 to 9.0. When I booted up and tried CPU-Z for about 1...

    Help with E8600

    Hi guys, I'm new on this forum. I just bought and installed an Intel C2Duo 8600 (3.3 Ghz). I'm running it on an ASUS P5B-deluxe mobo. I've downloaded and installed the latest BIOS for this board (version 1236 of 8.5.2008 - claims to "support new CPUs"). Doing that removed the annoying...
