+0.303 is the highest I can go on the VCore, so no change there but I did go with the 190x20. Around midway through the 5th round. A few minutes after the 5th round.

Sorry for the delay, I ended up passing out last night while waiting on the Intel Burn Test.. I ran 3 runs of Linx successfully. The screenshot shows the max temp from that as 65-69. I also ran 5 runs of Intel Burn Test successfully with the same temperature results. Note: The...

Will do, downloading those programs now. I'm using the CM 212 EVO w/ Arctic Silver 5. I purchased this motherboard with zero knowledge about overclocking and it wasn't even on my radar at the time so I wasn't paying too much attention to the settings but I would have to agree now that I've...

Yes I set the CPU multiplier manually, I can crank it up to 20 if necessary. I bumped it up to 18 and did a quick run in Prime 95, and am running it like that right now so it's at 3.6GHz. I'm using GSkill 1600 I have the timings set to 8-8-8-24 right now per their website information. I'm...

Thanks again for the reply. I cannot set the DRAM frequency but I can manipulate it with a ram multiplier. It only has settings 3, 4 and 5. So I have it at 4 right now since the ram is rated for up to 1600. The Advanced DRAM Config is for setting the timings. Given your suggestions I set it...

Right on, thanks alot. Apologies for the quality here I took these in a hurry. The first two shows what I have already set, the third screen shot is all I have available for voltage options.

I see, thank you for the response! Is there any chance you could put me in the ballpark of where I need to be with my settings? I can provide you screenshots of anything necessary(cpuid, real temp, etc. etc.) I feel quite stupid for asking but this is the learning stage for me as far as...

Greetings. I am a neophyte overclocker at best. But being curious, I armed myself with a CM 212 Evo HSF, researched the best I could and decided to follow this guide as much as I could. I ran into an issue however when I found that my motherboard does not allow me to set the VTT voltage...

Wow, thanks Danny, I can't believe I overlooked that deal on the 560. For only $12 more I would be insane to pass that up. I do have a bit of a bad taste in my mouth from AMD/ATI cards/drivers and am wanting to go with Nvidia this time. Thanks alot for pointing that out!! Also thanks for...

Greetings I recently placed an order for an EVGA 460. In my haste when I ordered it I forgot to check the PSU requirements. Now that I have looked at it I noticed it is recommended to have at least a 450W PSU with +12V current rating of 24A. Well my PSU obviously can meet the wattage...

Well I stand corrected. I may have to have a little chat with Mr. Irwin. Thanks for the correction.

Yes this is true. I do have the capacity to read and understand a Calendar. However if you are on their email list you will notice that their Black Friday sale started today at 3:00 PM PST. I called their customer service to confirm this fact.

I was a little underwhelmed myself. I waited until today to place my order in case there would be any deals on what I needed but no such luck. I could have ordered yesterday morning and had it shipped yesterday as well. Now it will likely not be shipped until Friday. Sad pandas. That being...

Right on, thanks for the suggestions. I will go ahead and pick up that Zotac 460 unless there is a better deal for a better card on Black Friday/Internet Monday. On the overlocking topic, I am a novice cpu overclocker at best and know absolutely nothing about GPU overclocking. Is it a simple...

Thanks for the reply. I would rather not wait until January since an issue with the 4870 is inhibiting my game play which is annoying since I have a currently unused copy of Skyrim staring me in the face every day. Among other reasons. Unless it was going to be a ridiculous difference in...

Greetings! I have determined that I need to upgrade my video card. I also want to switch over to the green team since I am somewhat unhappy with AMD/Radeon/etc. Emberassingly enough I do not know much about nVidia and am beginning my research. I was hoping someone could point me in the right...

I may be able to try a different card. I do have a digital multimeter. I have performed HDD test and all passed. I ensured a clean driver uninstall/install. I am currently using the most recent BIOS version.

Sorry for the delay in response. I have rolled back the drivers and still am having the same issue. So far it is occurring in these games: Starcraft II Portal Civilization V Elder Scrolls: Oblivion I don't know if this is significant but It is interesting to note that the last three games on...

I apologize for the late response. It took some time to make this happen. However I was able to run Furmark 1.9.1 for 11.5 hours and here are the results. Screen Captures A few minutes in: Uploaded with ImageShack.us ~5 hours in: Uploaded with ImageShack.us ~11.5...

I am running the 11.6 at the moment, I will look into the 11.5, thanks for the tip. I did a brief trial run of furmark 1.9.1 I only ran it for about 10 minutes and was alarmed that my temps plateaued at ~95-97C. I removed the video card and cleaned out all dust/debris from the heat sink and...

Prime95 ran the small FFTs test for slightly over 12 hours with no errors reported. Memtest86+ 4.2 ran for 15 passes with no errors reported. I am hoping to get a good block of time in with furmark tonight. For testing purposes, should all furmark settings be fine at default? Also should I...

Thank you for the replies. I am sorry for the late response, I do work the night shift but I will endeavor to respond as quickly as possible. Again, thanks for the help. I will run those tests and post the results asap. I forgot to include this in the OP, thanks for reminding me: the only...

Thanks for the reply. Yes I checked the physical connections and even switched one of the power connections to the video card(had previously been running from a molex adapter,) all connections seem to be in order.

Hello. First of all I wish to thank the forum community for they assistance to me in the past with a couple of systems I was building. I also wish to apologize for not following up on their help with success/sob stories, pictures, etc. But I am thankful for the help. I hope this is not the...

While going over some things here I realized that according to Antec's product website for the EA650, it only has 1 PCI-E Connector and the 4870 requires two. So if I'm seeing things right, my PSU will not support my GPU? Or am I missing something or just overly medicated, etc. Edit...

The pics will be coming soon. I have everything except the video card. I'm thinking of dropping it in favor of the XFX 4870 from Newegg. It's only $145 to my door. For what I play mostly(MMO's, RTS) will I be ok at high settings at 1920x1200? That's my main concern since that's my monitor's...

Well today Amazon has updated it's expected time line on the XFX 5850 twice. Once to "Usually ships in 2-5 weeks." Now it's at "Usually ships in 1-3 months." Honestly? That is a serious supply issue I don't care how high demand is. edit: I guess this is a bit of an improvement since it...

Kentucky You know, you're exactly right. Best case scenario I think is I get the card in about another week, I'd be a little alarmed if I didn't get it after two more weeks. At least I'm getting the price I guess.

Not for me, I'm paying about $16 in tax. I guess it's time to sit back and wait.

This makes me a very sad Panda. I'm not too thrilled about paying alot more over MSRP or waiting a month.

I ordered mine from Amazon on the 27th, I had your same idea, get in line and cancel if I need to. Haven't heard anything from Amazon so far, but Newegg is giving an ETA of 11/02/09 so hopefully that will be close to the same for Amazon. Or maybe Newegg will pricematch and we can all buy ours...

The XFX 5850 can be reserved at Amazon.com for $259.99 and free shipping.

Thanks alot!

Just noticed this today while reading the review on the i5 that it doesn't supports ram over 1333Mhz so my current ram wouldn't work. Is that correct? If so, how is this as a replacement? G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231276

I certainly will, going to go pick up the cpu today!

After the input from you guys(thanks a lot,) and some more looking around I have decided on the parts that I hopefully will be buying by the 28th. My main concern is that I am making the best use of the money and that everything will be relatively compatable. So what do you all think? Any...

Thanks, that's what I was getting at. So if I go with the i5 that means I need to rework my Ram situation right? so I should probably go with that ram he linked as well? Any problems with the psu running everything? Finally if I were to go with that i5 is the stock cooler good or would I...

That's a great price on that monitor. To keep the cost down I figured it would be a better idea to go with the 955 instead of paying the extra money for an i7. Also that money can be spent on the video card instead. If I were to stick with the 955 am I ok with that motherboard? Does...

Thanks a lot for the response and pointing out my lack of proper research. I will look into it further once I get home but I will begin operating under the assumption I will be using the i5 as well as the HD.. I see what you are saying with the 955 vs the i7 comparison. Is the i5 that much of...

Thanks for letting me know about the RAM link issue,corrected. Was supposed to be DDR3. After reading Anandtech's article on the 955 it kind of made my like it over the i5/i7. Am I way out in left field on that?
