Just got my EK water blocks for my northbridge and my mosfet. The mosfet come with a thermal pad. What should I use the thermal pad or my MX-2 thermal compound on the mosfet ,if it matters at all
I have a 9800GX2 SSC right now and EVGA will let me stepup to a GTX280 for $40.76. What do you guys think ,should I go for the 280 and why should I go for the 280, is it that much better than the 9800GX2?
Edit - I am running my 24" Samsung Monitor at 1900x1200.
I have a X3350 overclocked to 3504MHz. The cpu voltage is set to 1.275 in the BIOS. Cpu-z reads the voltage at 1.264 at idle,1.232 running Prime 95. My water cooling system is Swiftech MCR-320 Rad/Swiftech MCRES-MICRO reservoir / Laing D5 Vario pump / D-Tek Fuzion water block with the Quad...
What is everybody using for quick disconnect in your water cooling system. Were are you getting them from. I need them for 1/2 inch ID Masterkleer tubing. Also does anybody know were I can get a shroud for a Swiftech MCR-320 Radiator.
Edit - Never mind I found a older thread on Quick...
I am thinking of selling my second computer so I can buy a laptop. I know used computer do not hold their value well, I was just wondering what you think it might be worth. Thanks

I am thinking of getting one of these. I would like to know what is your max overclock, at what voltage and your idle & load temperatures. Also how stable is it. Did you run Orthos and for how long? I am building a new computer soon and I would like it to be stable and able to run 24/7.
I am building my first water cooling system and would like to know what you guys think the temperature different would be if I mount the rad inside the case up top or should I mount the rad outside the case on top . I am using a Lian Li PC-G70 server case so I have plenty of room in the case. I...
I know I should have posted this in the processor thread,but I am trying to get a nonfanboy option of what will the best one to get. When you add in a good motherboard the price between the two is not that much different [ Intel is a little higher]. Kyle, I would also like yours or one of the...
I am tried of waiting for AMD to get there shit together, so I am going to built a new rig using a Q6600 CPU.
My question is what motherboard and what ram are you guys using with this CPU. I will be overclocking the CPU. What kind of number are you getting when you overclock your Q6600. I am...
I have two problem with this board.
#1 The computer will not restart when I hit the restart button in windows or after a upgrade. It will not even bring up the page to get in to the BIOS. It sounds like it trys to start ,but nothing happen. I can see the light come on in the cd drive it blinks...
My power supply CPU voltage drops when I put my CPU at max loads. Is this normal? It goes from 1.488 to 1.456 when I run two console of folding@home,it also does it when I run Orthes. Both cores are at 100% when this happen. The computer is overclock to 2710 MHz [271 x 10] right now.
What is the max CPU volt can you get in the BIOS on this board? Right now on my ASUS A8N-SLI Premium board I can get 1.50 with a X2 4400+. I am thinking of buying this board if I can get a voltage increase to the CPU.
Right now I am running Folding@ home on my computer.It is using 60% of core 1 and 43% of core two. My temps are core 1-45c/core 2-55c.Is this temp different between the cores normal?
I am thinking about selling this computer. It is my backup computer. Just want to get some ideal what it is worth.Thanks

Try to find out if I can raise the CPU voltage above 1.5 on my 4400+ X2 in a ASUS A8N-SLI Premium motherboard in the BIOS. Right now it will only go to 1.5,but I read that the max is 1.6. Is there a way to raise it?
Thinking of buy a new 939 motherboard before they are all gone. Which is better a Asus A8N32-SLI or a Abit AN8 32X. Why is one better then the other? Also what is the max voltage I can set for the CPU when I am overclocking.
Just had to RMA my motherboard back to ASUS ,first it started to reboot on it own, than it crashed ,now sometime it will not even post. How is their RMA service,how long will it take to get it back. Thanks.
Need help my computer is doing ramdom reboot, sometime it just crashes.Getting all kind of error messages.Change the harddrive & the ram,also redid windows os and upgraded the BIOS. The message I get after it crashes and I reboot is \window\system32\config\system is missing or corrupt.
Looking for the different in your temps from air cooling to Water Cooling. At Idle and at full load for the CPU & the GPU. What do you do to test for full load.
