    I just have to say

    The 2500k is an amazing part. I think it has to be the greatest bang for the buck cpu in history. I paid for 3.3 and I'm getting 4.8, and I'm a hack know-nothing casual O/C'er. I trained monkey could do this. Cheers, Intel!

    MSI P67A-GD65 OC Questions

    Hi all, I've got an MSI P67A-GD65 and a 2500k. I'm getting 4.8 ghz prime stable (so far, 1/2 hour or so) on air. I've got two questions: 1) Is there a way to get the control center O/S based software to automatically load an OC profile on boot? Clicking on it and manually loading each time...

    Gaming monitor fiasco

    Ok guys, I'm right and truly confused. I'd like a gaming monitor. I'm looking for something bigger than 24 and less than 30. I'm willing to spend a good buck on it also. Aspect ratio isn't an issue 16:10 or 16:9 is ok by me. And I know I want more than 1080 lines, but I'm befuddled by...

    DDR2-800 vs 1066... make sense of this...

    Ok so check this. I built two identical boxes yesterday: Asus P5E Delux (x48) 3.16 c2duo 2 x 2gig Corsiar Dominator Ati 4850 The MB didn't recognize that I had 1066 memory, it auto set to ddr2-800. I switched this manually to 1066, but only on one box. Later, while patching...

    x2 $$$ not living up to the hype?

    Ok I've been out of it for about 6 months since I built my San Diego 3700, but from my recollection didn't AMD promise that DC would be a smallish $50-$80 preimum over a single core? Right now its more like x2 the price :( I'm trying to build a system for a friend, and I'm having a VERY hard...

    Aftermarket Chipset HSF

    Hey all, I've go the infamous A8N-E northbridge fan problem. I could get ASUS to replace it, but that would take too much time, and I don't want the same crappy fan. So... I'm looking for a suggestion on a good aftermarket HSF for the chipset that will fit this board. Any suggestions...

    Antec Sonata II

    I'm dissapointed in Antec here. I thought that with this version they learned their lesson about the open ANTEC air inlets in the side of the system. These let in unfiltered dust and make a mess, I always tape them up. Now with the Sonata II, they remove those crappy stencils, but add...

    OC Question: locked multipliers

    Hey all, I'm planning a new A64 (winny or venice if is out when I pull the trigger). I want to overclock the cpu but I want to go conservative on the RAM and chipset. So my question is, are the CPU multipliers locked on A64's these days? Or can I run a divider and OC the CPU while...

    You know what ticks me off? Active chipset coolers!

    Yeah I know they usually give more overclocking potential, but the fans on most mb's are cheap and sound like a turbine, and that's BEFORE a year of sucking dust off my grimy floor lol. So, does anyone know of a good nForce4 board that uses a passive cooler? If not, how hard is it to fit a...
