    8800GT - Huge temp drop

    I know many of you have 8800GTs and had bad temps. Lots of people went dual slot or aftermarket. My PC being outside (look at my other threads) during the winter, temps weren't an issue for me. It's starting to get warmer now, so I've had to re-evaluate my 24/7 setup. I had seen several...

    E8400, pretty hilarious temps (cold)

    What is everyone else using/what version to test temps of E8400. My box is outside with good airflow. It's currently -3C outside. I haven't even overclocked yet, and at stock settings this is what I'm seeing: Coretemp .96.1: 35C no matter what Speedfan 4.33: -2C idle, 7C load...

    E8400 VID check before buy?

    I might be picking up an E8400 locally today. Is there any way I can check the VID before buying? Is it displayed anywhere on the packaging? If I do buy one I'll post OC screens later... I'm mostly just not looking forward to taking the damn heatsink off and putting it back on again.

    Coretemp .96.1 load temp drop?

    unfortunately I can't search so I hope this question hasn't been asked. I did a quick google search and didn't come up with anything. I just installed Core Temp .96.1, coming from .95.4, rest of specs are in sig. On .95.4, my load temps were approximately 50C. When I switched to .96.1...

    EVGA: Two thumbs up

    I am doing a step-up from an 8800gts 320mb to an 8800GT. I couldn't find the 6 pin power adapter and a DVI adapter, so I emailed Joe who put his email up here for anyone who had questions. I asked what sort of financial penalty I would have for not including the two pieces. I then read in the...

    Voltages on e4400

    I have read so much into voltages and what is "safe" and what isn't that I now know less than I did in the first place. Some people say 1.55v is fine, others say to stay stock. Some go by CPU-Z, some use strictly BIOS (BIOS seems right to me). Now that I have my TR Ultra 120 Extreme all...

    Convex after lapping?

    I have lapped a few CPUs now, first my P4 2.8ghz, which was perfectly flat and worked beautifully after. The second CPU, which is an e4400 (current rig) was concave by this definition. So, after some lapping with 400/800/2000 grit sandpaper, I put the CPU back in. To my surprise, I noticed...
