I'm building a system for a buddy and he wanted it overclocked. No big deal, been there done that. I've been spending the last week tweaking to find the sweet spot for this setup. I thought I had it last night, but Prime95 teased me this morning. It ran 12hrs, 56mins small FFT's before one...

I think part of the reason these rebates are taking longer than normal is because normally, their return policy is 14 days. Thus after the return policy is passed, the rebate is processed. But for the holidays, I am told it is 14 days after Christmas. They probably waited until after the...

After my Zalman northbridge block cracked, I fashioned my own block from hardware store plumbing fittings. Does the trick.

Offers? will be going to ebay soon.

Over the last week, I found my system (in sig) will run at either 3.15GHz (450x7) with ram at 900MHz or at 3GHz (500x6) with ram at 1000MHz (both 8+hours orthos stable). Which do you think would be better overall? I just use it for online work, some photo editting, and some gaming.

What he said. But if you absolutely need 2 more spaces, you can get some 3.5" to 5.25" adapters and screw the rails on them.

So far, so good on the memory timings. Ram voltage should be labeled either VDIMM or VDDRII If it happens to not boot, first try to short across the "clear cmos" pins near the battery. If that don't work, unplug the power and remove the battery for a minute. It will then restart at...

One way to check your timings is to go into bios, hit CTRL + F1, go into MB Intelligent Tweaker section, and your timings will be there. It may be set to SPD, where it works at whatever timings are programmed for the given speed it is running (note, this may not be the advertised timings). Set...

Running mine on a Gigabyte S3 rev.C2 450x7= 3150MHz, 2.1v vdimm, all other voltages stock. I can't seem to get it stable past 450, even with +0.3 MCH & FSB, 1.4v core- get orthos errors. Boots to windows fine at 3.5GHz, but fails orthos right away. I can, however, run 500x6 perfectly fine at...
