    Q6600 Overclock thread.

    Well, i just installed CPUz and was suprised to see that the multiplier was shown at 6 x with my 333mhz FSB. My bios is showing 9 x 333mhz so i dont know what's going on.

    Q6600 Overclock thread.

    I just started to OC my system yesterday and ran Prime95 to stress the comp. I simply raised the FSB to 333 (3.0GHZ OC) at stock voltages. Everthing seems fine even with other apps running but then I let the system run overnight and at about 8hrs in threads 3 and 4 caught errors while 1 and 2...

    Are these expected temps on a Q6600 w/ AF7

    About 12 degs difference between max and min for the greatest difference between hottest and coolest. I guess it's not really main core. i assumed main core since it's the hardest working.

    Are these expected temps on a Q6600 w/ AF7

    Everything is stock at the moment. I want to run it a bit first before OCing.

    Are these expected temps on a Q6600 w/ AF7

    I just built my new rig this week and installed my Q6600 with Arctic Freezer Pro 7 with Tuniq MX-2 thermal paste. I dont know if it's because maybe the paste hasnt completely settled or if it's normal that my main core is running at 42 degs on idle and the other cores are running in the low-30s...

    Gigabyte DS3L

    I just built my new rig and for some reason it is not recognizing USB devices. I got it working initially but once I installed the drivers from the Mobo software disc the USB mouse and keyboard stopped working. Anybody know how I can fix this? Also, I see a number of BIOs updates on the...

    My New Rig: Comments Welcome

    I was thinking of originally getting the Thermalright 120 but the thing is pretty massive and at $60 it seems a bit much since I was thinking of OCing to 3.0ghz or less. I got the Arctic Freezer Pro for $10 so if I don't like it I can always switch. What do you guys think?

    PCI 2.0 Mobos

    Will there be any performance difference in having a PCI 2.0 mobo running a PCI 2.0 Videocard at this juncture or are they simply preparing users for the next standard? If not, then i will save myself about $175 on a motherboard that is not PCI 2.0 running a PCI 2.0 videocard. Thanks.

    PCI 2.0 Mobos

    Im building a new system and will be buying a PCI 2.0 video card (prob 8800 GTS) but am unsure which motherboards support this new format. I know that the higher end 250-300 motherboards do but thats a bit more than what I'd like to spend. Any idea what a good more value-priced board is that's...

    9800 Series vs 8800 GTS (G92)

    I want to know if in this new lineup there will be a model that replaces the 8800 GTS G92. Since the 9800 series is being released soon, I don't want to buy a 8800 GTS just to see a model replacement next month. As you all can sense, I'm a noob. Thanks

    System Freeze

    Im not sure if i have a trojan horse or something but Kapersky's not picking anything up. One in 10 video files (both internet and remote channgels) causes my comp to freeze except for my mouse movement (cursor moves but no clicking action). When I look at my task manager and the applications...

    System Lockup during certain video feeds

    Im not sure what's happening but once in ten times when I'm watching a video either on youtube or even remotely with media player with a video file my system locks up. My mouse cursor can be moved around and I can bring up the system screen with CTRL ALT DEL but none of my keys will work and I...

    Seagate 320GB Serial ATA/300 16MB Buffer

    I'm actually building a new rig and want trying to maximize my value/dollar and these drives look temting but there are new 32mb cache Hard Drives going for low-100s and of course the more expensive 16mb cache Raptors in the high 100s. Would a 10k rpm 16mb Raptor still outshine a 32mb 7200rpm...
