calebb, I think u r exactly right. I tried to see if it were my GPU that was causing the problem. I watched movies at FSB1467, it froze after 10 seconds. But changing it to 1423, I had about 1minute - 2 minutes before it froze. And because Orthos doesn't test PCIe, so that's why my Orthos tests...

How do you lock'em? I can see my PCIe is at 100Mhz. I never touched it. But I don't know how to check my PCI frequency...

appreciate your help unclewebb! situation went worse, I kept it at 3300mhz, ran orthos for about 1 hour and it was alright, and I thought it was okay then. So I installed Kapersky Antivirus Software cuz I didn't want my computer running around naked. So when I rebooted my Vista, my Kapersky...

My computer passed 3300Mhz with 1.43v, when I pushed it up to 3400Mhz, I got BSOD, and I raised the voltage to 1.45, BSOD's gone, but it failed the first test in Orthos after 10sec. The message says: Fatal Error: Round 0.5, expected 0.4 or less... bla bla. So I raised the volt to 1.46v, now it...

Which tests are more precise? Orthos or TAT? Since I can't run TAT under Vista, I dunno which one is better? Or maybe both of them are good so going through any one of them would suffice? Any opinion would be appreciated.

thank you so much calebb. I didn't know that you have to disable the signature enforcement thingy. Anyway...big thanks.

OK I tried them out, only TAT and CoreTemps are not working under Vista 64. So...I am having troubles getting a temp read from my computer. SpeedFan's working, but I don't trust just one read, and I don't know the temp limit of my cpu. Anyone's got any suggestions? Thanks.

unclewebb, are those applications(orthos, speedfan, cpu-z etc) compatible with Vista 64? Also is there any difference when overclocking under a Vista platform rather than an XP platform?

thx magoo, the guide was amazing, very detailed. unclewebb, did u reach ur 3.4ghz with the thermal control enabled? Generally, do u guys just OC ur cpu or u guys OC RAMs and GPUs as well?

Thank you so much sethkinast and unclewebb. I am so much clearer now. By the way how do I know what's the multiplier range for a cpu? Also, I noticed an option called CPU Thermal Controller(if I remembered it right) which is defaulted at disabled, does that have anything to do with OC? Thanks.

I just built my new PC. I got P5N-E mobo. I am new to OCing, so I need some advanced users to give me some advice on this. Thanks in advance. All I did was went into BIOS and try to increase the multiplier, it was defaulted at 9, I tried to increase it to 10 and restared my computer, but...

Wow...so sorry to hear this. I really loved the reviews and if it wasn't for the reviews, I would still be struggling to find the desktop that fits me. Hope [H]Consumer can be re-opened someday. We are really grateful for what you guys have done for us. Best of luck guys.

Is Audigy SE good enough for gaming? If there's about $120 difference between, is it worth it to go with Xtreme Gamer Fatal1ty. In other words, is Xtreme Fatal1ty that much better? I am a total noob, know almost nothing about sound cards. Thanks in advance.

Thanks very much ferris23, it's very good to know ur opinion. It's just that I have seen so bad, negative reviews and opinons regarding westy's poor quality control etc... and not as many for sharp. I guess that's what made me think westinghouse has lots of problems. Hopefully this thread will...

Guys, I need help with my LCD decision. It's mainly for my computer, PS3 and watching movies as well. I was going for Westy 37w3 at first, but I live Canada, and the stores don't carry it, so I had to look for alternatives. So I found Sharp 32GP1U, and everything looked awesome, and I was gonna...
