I'm selling my i7 4790k. Reason for selling is I'm upgrading to a 6 core. This is processor only, no HSF. Will come in the original box, but no factory Intel Heatsink. It seems to be a decent overclocking chip. I currently have it running at 4.6ghz @ 1.26v using a Phanteks 120mm cooler...

So I was bored and decided to play with my system a bit again, but have a few questions, that I'm unsure of..... What is the max temps for a 2500k, as well as voltage. I dont mean for small stints, but for extended periods of time. I've heard varying answers such as 75*c core temps, and 80-90*c...

I'm having issues with a huge core temp difference of around 10*c. I redid the thermal paste thinking it was an issue, but its giving me the exact same results. Any thoughts? The temperatures seem high to me also. I'm using some old artic silver 5 (2-3 years old?) if that makes any difference.

Finally got me new sweet setup and ready to have my mind blown by some insane quake 3 fps! lol, Cannibalizing an old system in the closet for screws to build my WHS box and ran onto this. My old Celeron 366 @ 550 (Alpha HS w/ a YS Tech 60mm screamer), Creative...

For some reason my system freezes on a cold boot. Usually just hitting the reset button it'll boot normal after selecting it to do so. On a hot reboot it doesn't freeze, plus it seems to vary with temperature. When its colder ambient temp it'll freeze again on the next reboot. The colder it gets...

With Neweggs $25 back + The $35 Mail in Rebate the Intel 120GB X25-M SSD is only $145 I got one on black friday for $165AR and well worth the money, but now wish I waited for the extra $20 bucks off. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820167035&Tpk=20-167-035

I've had my evga GTX260 ssc for over a year and after a 3-4 months of not playing games I went back to it a couple months ago and it started to artifact in TF2. I lowered the overclocks some and it went away for like a month or so but now its starting it again (went from 726/1475/1250 to...

I'm looking to digitize some old home movies and was wondering on these USB Video Capture devices if they work or not? I tried to get an old computer with my old Voodoo 3500 (lol, has video in though), but drivers weren't working properly and wouldn't display anything.

I recently just switched out my mobo with a Asus p5q pro turbo motherboard and everything was running good for 2 days, then today it wouldn't start up. It would power on, but not get to post or anything. I have the Ballistix Tracer memory and the top LEDs wouldn't light up at all. It did this...

I was playing around with my system today trying to get 3.6 stable, and after finding a fix for vdroop on my IP35 pro (really bad .07v) I think I might finally be able to get there. But my smaller Ultima-90 Heatsink might not be up to the task. I tested it a little bit ago and was running...

I've had my Q6600 for 1.5 years now and kinda want to mess with something new. I dont want to jump into a i7 yet and with the recent low prices of the Q9550s I've been tempted to get one. Would it be wasted money? My Q6600 isn't a great overclocker (only 3.2ghz @ 1.3v, and even with 1.5v...

How do you test to see if a Mobo is stable at a certain FSB? Like for example I have my setup at 450x7 = 3.15ghz to test 450 fsb to see if its stable. Its stable a 3.2ghz (400x8) in prime95 small fft. Do you run a prime95 blend? or a special application?

I have an ultima 90 (baby version of the thermalright ultra120 extreme) and I am wondering if I should have the fan pushing or pulling through the heatsink? Currently I have it facing East to West with the fan Pushing towards the back. I was thinking about trying to mount in North to south. and...

Well, I've been messing with my system all weened trying to get the most I can out of it, and it doesn't want to go over 3.2ghz at all. It runs perfectly fine at 3.2ghz (8x400) 1.3v ~ 55c full load. But it wont go higher. When I try to go higher about 3/4 of the time Itll just restart, instead...

I just got my new system together (in sig) and putting it through its paces and overclocking it. When I put my heatsink on I put a thin layer of AS5 across the entire cpu and placed the heatsink on it. I twisted the heatsink a few times and it became hard to turn. You think theres enough...

After not messing with my computer for 4+ years (been messing with my car) I decided to pull the trigger on a new system over the thanksgiving break. I went over to a buddys house and saw COD4 and went home and started shopping :) My old system was a althon tbird 1ghz @ 1.3, gefore 3 ti200...
