    TRUE or Megahalem for i7 920?

    I want to overclock my new build. Ideally I want to get to 4 GHz but I'll be happy at 3.8 GHz. I've heard a lot about the Cogage True, the Megahalem, and of course the standard TRUE. Which cooler do you recommend? I will spend a max of $100 (fan included). Mentionable items in my setup: Core...

    Did I break something? i7 920

    I read on one of the forums that one can get a stable 3.8 ghz simply by setting the BCLK to 180 and leave the rest at AUTO... so I tried that. When I got booted up the CPU was 68C. I rebooted, saw a CPU Temp warning from the POST, and set the BIOS back to default. Now it seems like the...

    At what temps do graphics cards overheat?

    I just finished building my new desktop. I've got dual GTX 275's in SLI on a P6T board. Unfortunately the video cards are very close to each other.

    GTX 275 SLI worth it?

    Frys has the EVGA GTX 275 896mb for about $150 AR, an excellent deal. I've been thinking about picking up 2 for SLI, but is it really worth it? I do plan on running a dual 24" monitor setup and I heard SLI helps run games in higher resolutions. Can anyone comment on it? Thank you
