Stupid me got a new notebook which has a cpu which should have been in a mobile phone! How the hell this cpu is expected to operate Windows 8?! It is absolutely crawling even surfing on the internet. Does anyone have the same crap here? Let's say i am watching a youtube video and open another...

Hey, anyone there? There is only a handful of topics here, has everyone switched to Intel processors or what? Whatever, i stick with good old green chips. I was wondering if it would be feasable if i upgrade my Athlon II X4 620 to Phenom II X4 925. I think my cpu's oc abilities are very...

Ok, we all know about the basic memory timings (CL, tRCD, tRP, tRAS) and how to tweak them but there is very little info about the rest. We can adjust the following settings as well: Row Cycle Time (tRC) Command Rate (CR) RAS To RAS Delay (tRRD) Write Recovery Time (tWR) Write To Read...

Hey there, i just wondered shall i use cool & quite thing with my new Athlon II X4 620 cpu or not. I am not exactly sure if i could save a meaningful energy with that aside of the fact that the fluctating voltage may have a negative impact on the chip. What would you reckon? I'm sorry if you...

Hey guys, i'm looking for a good utility to recover the lost partition on my 8gb flash drive. Would you please recommend me a good one? Many thanks in advance.

Hi everyone, I'm having a big trouble with my MSI K9A2-CF mainboard. It doesn't detect Realtek network driver when i restart the pc within windows. It's asking for the drivers but can't install anyway. If i switch off the pc completely and turn on everything's ok. Has anyone come across to...

I'm building a budget configuration and have just ordered this monitor: http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/products/Displays/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=biz&cs=555&sku=320-5577&~lt=popup&~ck=TopSellers because of it's decent price ($175 - I know it's not that much decent in U.S but...)...

I'm about to purchase a Crucial Ballistix memory kit. It's specs are as follows: Part #: BL2KIT12864AA1065 DDR2 PC2-8500 5-5-5-15 Unbuffered NON-ECC DDR2-1066 2.2V 128Meg x 64 These are single sided modules and i have heard that they don't have Micron D9 chips. Is that right? I'm...

I'm out for shopping a notebook pc and trying to find the best possible solution for my extremely limited budget. These are the two pc's i'm thinking about: 1. Acer Aspire 5220 AMD Sempron 3600+ 2.0 GHz 256KB L2 Cache 15.4" WXGA (220nits) CrystalBrite, 8ms 1280 x 800 NVIDIA GeForce 7000M...

I've came across to an F2 stepping Athlon 64 X2 Cpu which is running at 2000mhz. Is there anyone who knows how good they are on overclocking?

From what i've understood there's a bug on Phenom cpu's and you would need a bios update to fix it. However it costs around %10 peformance drop. If this is the case and there's no other workaround this is a scandalous mistake by AMD and they should accept RMAing all the chips. I feel too bad...

http://www.amdgeeks.net/overclockdatabase I just found this site very easy to use and posted few oc results of mine but they don't seem to have too much results. Anyone knows a better source?

I'm running my Brisbane 3600+ @ 2850Mhz with 1.3v and using Thermaltake Blue Orb II to cool it. Thermal material is nothing special which came with the HSF. Idle CPU temperature is 30C and it jumps to 50C after 4-5 minutes of Orthos test. Even though i tried to reinstall the HSF several times...

Hey folks, i was able to do a nice oc with my X2 3600+ Brisbane and Epox mobo (check my sig) but few mins ago i had to reset bios and now i can't get anywhere near my old oc'ed settings. I get resets or error messages when windows loading even @ 283Mhz FSB. It doesn't boot anymore @ 295MHz. I'm...

My personal opinion is: it's a POS!

Hey guys, i have built a rig here and it keeps rebooting itself randomly when i was surfing or anything. Checked the voltages via Everest and saw that +2.5v line stays around 1.49v. I think this is the reason. Mainboard should be faulty. Can you tell me what that line exactly do please?

My mobo maxes out @ 292Mhz FSB for some reason. I think it's due memory divider though. With 667Mhz memory divider it doesn't boot over 292Mhz. With 533Mhz memory divider it doesn't boot over 285Mhz. I didn't try 400mhz divider but it'll probably be less than 280mhz. I wonder if this kind of...

I've came across to this term whilst reading a review of a motherboard. Could you tell me what is it exactly?

A friend of mine having all sorts of problems with his setup which is based on a DFI Infinity GF6150 chipset mobo and X2 3600+ Brisbane CPU. He just bought a pair of Kingston HyperX PC-6400 memory but they didn't help at all. I think it's the unique 9.5 multi with these cpu's causing the issues...

I can't leave my system open for stability tests so i have to do it while i was working. I wonder what you guys set priority at when saying your overclock is "orthos stable" ?

I think this is a common problem for all nforce chipset family. It's impossible to use CPU/7 and CPU/8 memory dividers after 270Mhz HT speed. Is there any workaround for this problem?

I wonder what's the wattage/performance ratio between an intel c2d oc'ed to 3.5ghz and an amd x2 cpu oc'ed to 3ghz.

I wonder how to run a 12v case fan @ 7v without using a fan controller.

What a useless shit.. It keeps giving me following error every 5 seconds: The error is abot cpu speed obviously. Maybe Epox engineering staff didn't think that i might do some overclock? I wouldn't need this POS but SpeedFan cannot read voltages for some reason.:mad:

I wonder what does AMD's new chipset offers for overclockers. Do they have necessary options in their bioses? Like vcore, vdimm, fsb, memory speed options... I can throw away my Epox board with Geforce 6100 which sux badly if the answer is yes.

I've downloaded the newest version of Bootvis (1.3.37). Installed and Trace for Next Boot+Driver Delays. Anything wrong here? It has restarted the box and while waiting for report it's just crashing with an error report about ntdll or something. What could be wrong with it?

I've a 512Mb Corsair Valueselect PC-5300 memory with 5-5-5-15 timings. It's doing 866Mhz with 2.1v and 900Mhz with 2.3v. I was looking for something which can do 1000Mhz. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145566 These modules are capable of doing 1100mhz according to...

Is there anyone here still using CRT monitors? I've a Philips 19" 109P40 monitor but i am somewhat unhappy with it's color temperature since the day i bought it. Before this i had a Dell 17" P790 monitor and it was using same Aperture Grill technology but it's color and contrast was greater. Can...

Which version of Vista would you advice me looking at my system specs? I've only 512Mb of system memory and using my computer for mainly gaming, multimedia, surfing etc..

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16829102007 Could anyone tell me if this card is any better than Audigy 2 ZS or can it be as good as an X-Fi XtremeMusic? I hope it's not, i spent twice as much for my XtremeMusic:( :rolleyes:

I've a friend who's looking for a budget mobo to overclock X2 3600+ Brisbane. I've adviced him my Epox but he wants DFI. I know Biostar TForce is also good but it's not available here. Does anyone uses DFI Infinity C51PV-M2 /G board here?

Can you tell me which of these craps are really needed to get the damn thing work?

I get this error message when i select Creative ASIO drivers as output. Do you know what i'm doing wrong?

Has anyone gave them a go yet?

And i have no crash nor any other stability issues yet. I just tried it today and it looks a good thing. Cpu speed drops to 1.2Ghz and vcore down to 1.1v while i was surfing. My oc'ed settings are; 240x10=2400Mhz with def. vcore. I was using 260x10=2600Mhz before i enabled cnq but i had to up...

I want to try some tighter timings than which i'm currently using but don't know where to start. Currently i'm using my memory @ 866Mhz with 5-5-5-19 and 2T timings.

I wonder why Epox's K8 based mobo's cannot use SmartFan function with 3-pin cpu fan connectors? I used to have an MSI K9N Ultra mobo before and i didnt have such a problem about controlling fan speed through bios. I guess Epox needs 4-pin PWM connectors for that but it's AMD cpu's we plug into...

I've a simple question on this matter. What factors are deciding this ratio? Is it only CPU multiplier and memory speed? Or is it affected by HTT multiplier as well?

Hello guys, i've just joined to this forum to discuss about this board. I was looking for some good overclocking mobo which has onboard vga on it and picked this Epox MGF6100-M after reading few comments here. So i was expecting to hit 300Mhz and more but somehow i'm restricted to 270Mhz...
