Ok ! Heres the deal. i am building a new pc and I am at crossroads about sli vs. crossfire. I have had isues with every Ati graphics card I have owned , thus makes me want to stay with Nvidia. I would like to have the option to add another graphics card in the future , but the reviews i read...
Hey guys and gals. This is my first attempt at water cooling and i was wondering what you guys thought about this setup.
Cpu Block: OCZ HydroFlow HF-MK1 (1/2" OD Barbs)

I am building a new pc and i need a recommendation on a psu.
cpu: e8500
mobo: evga 780i
ram: ocz ddr2 1066
ideo : msi gtx 260
Case :antec 1200
I will be overclocking and watercooling.I would like to have room to grow.I am starting off with single loop w/c setup but would like to...

i have been wondering for a while now what my true temp was and i ran across this thread. i tried your test and lowered everything down.
e4300 = 6x200 @1.13v
batch# = Q643A026
room ambient now is 22c
coretemp 0.94 reads 25/27 at idle
coretemp 0.95 reads 42/43 at idle...
ok ,bios flash by floppy doesnt work , i have taken the ram out and made sure everything was in right ,took the battery out for 1 hr and all it does is beep 3 times and thats it. i am lost.could that gateway update utility have messed this up this bad?
thanks. i was hoping i could avoid that , because it doesnt have a floppy drive in it.oh well guess i will have to take the one out of mine.
edit:i looked on the mobo to find a model number and the only thing i see that remotely looks like one is this: E210882
so i did a search on the...
ok! i am at my wits end.i have been wiping and re-installing windows on my friends gateway model :gt5411e ,and after everything installs with the factory restore disk a program pops up from gateway that says it needs to update files on the pc.i went ahead and let it do its thing (one of the...
try these settings.

temps are a little high when stress testing , but during gaming and rendering I rarely get over 56c on stock hsf.
one other thing ,i have the same mobo and cpu and my vvoltages are set too:
v-core:1.375...
Really the only time I see heat issues is when i am stress testing , both cores get to about 65c.All of the other time ,even after 6hrs of BF2 temps never get above 51c so I am not too concerned with heat , eventually I would like to see my o/c get higher.:D
Quick question. Is there any way to put a different fan on a stock c2d heatsink? The stock heatsink does great for me ,but i think it would be better with a higher rpm fan.
i get the same problem with TaT showing very high temps so i started investigating and went to the help tab and under contents there is a selection for system requirements and it states :
· Notebook system with:
o Intel® Mobile Pentium® M Processor (CPUID 6EX)
o Intel®...
when i put under a load all of them read pretty close to the same temp around 56 c after 6 hrs of prime 95. core temp seems the closest to TaT at full load. I just want to make sure i dont fry my new cpu.:D
edit: Oh btw o/s is xp home sp/2 ,if that makes any difference.
Any advice is greatly appreciated!
all of these cpu temps are at idle:
easy tune 5: 23c
core temp : c0 :27c
c1 :27c
speed fan :23 c
intel TaT :c0 :40c
:c1 :42c
which one of these do you guys think is right?This is for pc in sig.
i ran into a problem similar on my old pc and i flashed the bios to fix it.i dont know if that would work in your case but it did in mine.that is if you can get past the post.
i recently purchased a his hitech x1950pro,it does pretty good but lags a little in games like fear extraction point.if i overclock this cardwould this cure some of my lagg? and what program would be good to do this with?i have tried ati tool and all it does is blank out the screen and i have...
5252 3d marks on rig in my sig!

ok! this is probably gonna sound dumb ,but here it goes anyway.should i go by the digital cpu temp in intels TaT or should i go by temp in the bios?this question is for the rig that is in my sig.
well i think i got it figured out!here are some pics so far!
