    What memory to use with Phenom II

    Well, this is really only a partial rebuild, where all that is changing is motherboard, CPU, and RAM. And I would just prefer moving forward with DDR3.

    What memory to use with Phenom II

    Simple questrion, will all "i7" RAM modules work fine on DDR3 Phenom boards, just using 2 of the 3 sticks to effectively have a 4GB dual channel setup?

    Video Games, Computers and Crayons Cripple Children

    A part of me feels like I've done more damage to my hands playing trumpet then video games. Especially considering that I've never owned a console and the majority of my video-gaming life has only been with mouse and keyboard.

    If I had the cash to throw at it, I'd get one.

    What about the Noctua 80mm fan?

    WAV v. FLAC

    I have to ask, why is WMP such a horrible media player? It seems to fit my needs perfectly, minus a handful of files that I got VLC to deal with.

    best games of all time (PC)

    1. The Baldur's Gate Trilogy 2. Grim Fandango (though I've only played through the game with a walkthrough, still holds a very dear place in my heart) 3. a modded Oblivion...yes it had its problems, but I still spent hundreds of hours with it. And I do believe Morrowind to be a superior game...

    5000+ BE overclocking and QnC

    Unfortunately that's one of the caveats of QnC, that you can't have multiplier overclocks stick. You could try overclocking through the HTT or whatever it's called to get to your 3.0ghz. But the 15 x 200 at stock voltage is nice. I'm not an expert, but even with the overall speed being...

    5000 BE

    All Brisbanes have flawed themal reporting. Oddly enough, the Asus AiBooster utility seems to give decently accurate/plausible temp readings, as well as being able to OC within the OS without any problems. To the extent that I took a 3600+ (1.9ghz) to 3.06 ghz using solely the utility to...

    Noctua NH-U12P Processor Cooler @ [H]

    Are there any reviews that show if there are any benefits to fitting the heatsink with a second Noctua fan?

    amd 3600 x2 overclocking

    That's an unfortunate story....The highest I think I ever set the voltage was 1.48xx, but my full load temps were sitting up around 60, so i was able to back it down to 1.45, and actually gained some stability. For what is really a budget board, the M2N-E performed admirably. My only complaint...

    4870 GX2 shares RAM

    At what point has anything said that AMD is calling their cards the GX2....the ending for their dual-chip boards is just X2.

    amd 3600 x2 overclocking

    Well, I've decided to call it a career (for now) for overclocking this chip. For my first experience, I'm quite happy taking it to 3.060ghz @ 340x9 The case that it's in just doesn't have enough cooling power to keep the temps decent if my window is closed. I was hoping to get it over 3.1ghz...

    amd 3600 x2 overclocking

    I'm slightly embarrassed to say I use the Asus AiBooster utility for monitoring temps, as well as OC'ing within the OS. I'm running a Brisbane 3600+ on an Asus M2N-E right now. This is my first shot at overclocking, and currently I'm at just under 3.1ghz at 1.45volts. But I don't think it's...
