    Software OC'ing?

    Ahh, sorry. CPU temps are stable at 39C, with no load. The two temps labeled GPU and Core are both at 75C (but who knows if that's actually where the heat is, according to the SpeedFan readme material). Also, I can't see my fan speed on that main page anymore. I used'ta could...

    getting the most out of my memory

    Hi! I have a Dell Dimension E520 that I'm upgrading (it was given to me) and I'm curious if there's anything special I have to do to tell my 32bit XP to get the most out of the (4) 1GB sticks. Task Manager says I only have 2.6GB total memory (2.0gb available, and 1.25gb system cache). I have...

    Software OC'ing?

    Yes, I found speedfan but I haven't really played with it much, yet. It tells me that my temps are up to 76C. Isn't that a bit high? I'll be looking for a walkthrough guide... if anybody has some tips, I'm all ears.

    Software OC'ing?

    Okay I found another thread here explaining clockgen, and how to make the clockgen changes permanent-esque. I'll check it out. Is there anything I should be wary of? This is my first time ever changing crucial settings like this. Edit: I've downloaded CoreTemp, speedfan, CPU-Z...

    Software OC'ing?

    Hi guys, I have a Dell 0WG864 motherboard with a 965 chipset, which came stock in my Dimension E520. Keeping the E6300 it came with, I've upgraded the power supply, hard drive, memory, and graphics card, and now I'm interested in playing around with minor overclocks. Dell's BIOS is really...

    k thanks. I found a review of the two at http://www.neoseeker.com/Articles/Hardware/Reviews/msi9800gt/ and I'll be going with the 9800gt. Thanks a ton for your help!

    Power Supply for a Dell Dimension E520

    I looked at that manual and it seems to require the same PS adapter that the Antec has. Which video card is "better"? HD4830 or 9800GT?

    Power Supply for a Dell Dimension E520

    Haha oops.... sorry. My Dell was made in 2007. That seems new enough to me... If I check out the Dell manual online, what specifically am I looking for? Thanks again guys. Edit: here's the manual... it labels the mobo components...

    Power Supply for a Dell Dimension E520

    What do you mean by this? You mean the device manager application on the computer? Do you literally mean a "photo," or something else? I'm looking at the device manager on my comp here at work, and don't have a clue what you're talking about. Edit: and after a little more thinking about...

    Power Supply for a Dell Dimension E520

    How about this, for $10: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145177? It's unnecessarily faster than what I've got now, but how can you beat that price? So my fears about hooking into my Dell mobo are unfounded? Or for $10 more...

    Power Supply for a Dell Dimension E520

    How about the plug into the mobo; I thought Dell motherboards had a different connector than normal. That's why I found the PC P&C power supply that says it's specifically made for a Dell. Are there adapters to plug it in? I wasn't posting my complete setup because I have other questions...

    Hi guys, I was directed to this website a couple days ago, and wow there's a lot of info here! When searching for my problem, I couldn't find the answer though, so here's my situation: I recently inherited a Dell Dimension E520 computer, which is a step up from my old HP. After looking at...
