Yeah, that would make sense, but my brother has the exact same laptop as me, and has his temp monitor working perfectly.

I have a Dell Inspiron 1720 with a Geforce 6800m GT 128, 2 gigs fo ram, core 2 duo 2.2 gghz.... I'm trying to get an accurate reading on my laptop temperature, so I can set the fans to work harder when I overclock. I tried Riva Tuner and it reads my GPU as 0 degrees. I tried I8kfanGUI...

I have a Dell Inspiron 1720 with 2 gigs of ram, 2.2 gghz core 2 duo, nvidia geforce 6800m GT, and I'm trying to use a program to monitor my temperatures so I can overclock. I'm trying to use I8kfanGUI, but when I go into temperature control and click the "Enable hardware sensor support"...

I'm having some problems with this new Dell Inspiron I got with half life 2. I was wondering if you guys knew what kind of problem this is. I have a Dell Inspiron 1720 with 1 gig of ram, windows vista home premium, and a 256MB Geforce 6800m GT, with a 120 GGB harddrive at 7200RPM. After...

how do i OC the card? and what did you mean by the motherboard having to have a number of overclocking options?

Here's the mobo. http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/genericDocument?lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c00022505#c00022505_doc And even if I can't OC the processor, can I still OC the video card? Oh and I downloaded CPU-Z. I have a Northwood P4 with D1 core stepping.

So I just ordered a new laptop from dell. A 1720. Really nice. But I've got this desktop here and I'm wondering what I can do with overclocking because I've read some good things about P4 with 800 FSB hyperthreading OCing. Here are my specs. This is the computer I have .. basically...

This PC actually will be for gaming as well. Is it still overboard? lol

Oh my monitor is like 15 inches, regular monitor, not LCD. I'll probably be looking to get an LCD in the near future, but I'm pretty sure it will be less than 24 inches. Adding everything up... Motherboard $130-160 range with MIR's Cooling $55...

Thank you so much. Very much appreciated. :):) I'll look into these options now and try to figure out which way to go.

Oh okay. The PSU is a 420 watt thermaltake. The parts that need replacing are the processor, the motherboard, the hard drive, and i'll probably tap-replace the video card at CompUSA. The things I am unsure about are... the motherboard - will the GA-P35-DS4 rev 2 work good for gaming...

Right now I have a Pentium 4 2.66 gghz, 1 gig of sd ddr ram, Radeon X1600, and I just ran out of space on my harddrive which was about 120 gigabytes. I'm looking to upgrade to a pentium q6600 2.4 with g0 stepping, 2 sata harddrives for raid, and possibly a new cooling system. I would...
