I have 2gb of the very nice, older version of these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820146565 I've never run into a problem with them and so I bought another 2gb of the same, but they didn't have the metal clips on the back of them like my original ones did. Turns...

Last week I OC'd my Q6600, and it seemed to run fine. I lowered the voltage on the CPU while upping the settings on the RAM just a bit. I got a BSOD after this due to my RAM. I put everything back the way it was (default settings) and after several hours of use I got another BSOD for the same...

I have my RAM at 2.2volts (default), but I didn't change North/South Bridge from auto mainly because I don't know what they default to and because some guides said they didn't make a huge impact. I don't think the sticky talks a lot about it, so could someone explain it or find a guide that...

Alright, well Intel says their max recommended vcore is 1.5, so can I assume I can get to about 1.46 and not have to worry about killing my CPU for at least a year or two? What about my HSF?

Current working setup @ 3.2ghz on a P5K Deluxe: vcore: 1.375 multiplier: x9 FSB: 356 I tried getting to 3.4ghz with 1.38~ volts (I've read 1.4volts is too much for an everyday setup), but I get BSOD's after about 20s of Prime 95. My RAM is at 5-5-5-15 and 1:1 ratio. Could it be my temps? My...

The springs aren't fully compressed, but it's a little bit close, so I guess I'm at (or close to) an ideal right now since all looser combinations have given me higher temps so far.

Since this is a huge cooler I figured that I'd need to tighten the screws. I'm getting decent temps right now (low to mid 30s with a Q6600 G0 at stock), but the problem is that with my Asus P5K Deluxe and Silverstone TJ-09 the screws can actually touch the motherboard tray if I go too tight. So...

So any opinions on the new temps?

I reseated the HSF so that it would blow air out towards the rear fan instead of the top fan. I also converted both top fans to intake and left the mid-section as intake. So far my temperatures have been 10C lower on the first two cores (46C to 37C) and about 5C lower on the last two cores (40C...

I just got a new PC (Q6600 G0, 8800GTX, Tuniq Tower 120, 2gb Ballistix...), but the CPU runs a little hot, so I was wondering what intake/exhaust setup you would suggest for a TJ09. I have 5 Scythe SFF21F's and 2 stock Silverstone 120mm fans if I need more. My Tuniq Tower 120 is currently...

Right now I have 5 120mm fans: 1 rear exhaust 2 top exhaust 1 mid section intake (towards GPU) 1 in between HDD cages My HSF is blowing air to the top of the case where the top vent fans blow it out. I was pretty sure that I had too many exhaust fans, but I just followed a guide. So...

http://img210.imageshack.us/my.php?image=cputempfw0.jpg Those are my temps just after about 30 minutes of Supreme Commander on a G0 Q6600 at stock clock speeds with AS5 and a Tuniq Tower 120. My idle temps are 5C lower than the CPU, Core #1, and Core #2 temps shown in the picture; while my...

Right now I'm debating between these two monitors. I need at least 20in mainly for PC and 360 games, but I'll also be watching some movies. My budget is about $350 and I'm open to any other monitors (as long as they're at least 20in).

Difficult in what way? I'm probably going to go with the Bad Axe 2 (60%), but I want to know if the Striker has any OCing advantages, or maybe there's a completely different board that'll OC even better.

Hey, I've asked this same question on this board before, but I've decided to change a few things, so I was wondering about which I should go with. My future system: E6600 OC'd as high as possible G.Skill HZs 2gb ddr2-800 320gb HDD e-SATA 1x 8800GTX eVGA ASC3 750watt PSU Both the Bad...
