Has anyone ever seen this? Didn't find much info on the googles, so I wonder if this is a new issue? This explains why my network has been so crappy lately. Another reason to hate Windows 8. Thanks Microsoft! (The only fix I know of is remove the Mail, Calendar and People app. Which is...

Stock Intel heatsink & fan. [Edit] Intel DX58SO motherboard. CPU threshold is showing 127ΔT because the thermal probe melted when trying to boot into windows at 4000mhz and 1.475v. Which, by the way, it ran core damage for 1:43 before it crashed. :eek:

I tried booting into Windows at 4ghz and 1.475 volts on the stock Intel heatsink & fan. Bad idea. Destroyed the temperature probe and now my fans are running at full speed 100% of the time. I wonder what else I melted.... [Notice where it says 127ΔT, it normally reads between...

The thing is a pile; ya it has some nice settings for overclocking but this thing feels totally unfinished. There are 4 BIOS updates since Sep which is the version that came installed on mine when I ordered it on Monday. The BIOS upgrade fixed the random lockups during post but is still a...

Orthos and Prime95 are really good for checking the accuracy of the CPU but not so good at making it hot or testing your cooling. This little proggy will make your CPU really fucking hot so monitor the temperature (use CoreTemp) or you might fry it. http://damage.vigilantesoftware.com

Hi, So last month or so I upgraded my machine to a 2.13GHz Core 2 Duo (from an Athlon 64). Well, thanks to anti-piracy cd checks, I can no longer play Command & Conquer: Generals. Apparently, my new system isn't compatible. Not sure if the CPU or if its the new DVD-RW drive, and I'd...

I know a lot of people liked this little CPU stress utility for AMD processors, and now that I'm _finally_ getting a new computer I will have some time to optimize for the Core 2 Duo. Any interest??

Too bad the car forums were moved; now I have no motivation to stick around. I have better things to spend my 5 bucks on. Besides, this should effectively kill the cars forum anyway so why subscribe to it?

Hey guys, I haven't exactly been in the overclocking scene for a while; processor speeds have basically hit the wall and I really haven't been motivated to keep up. Well, ever since the dual-core Athlons hit the scene its peaked my interest but the cost of upgrading is sky high; for me there...

never mind. mod edit: odoe - i'll close it for you

Why aren't there more games like this? R-Type Final is just plain fun. Enemies come onto the screen and you shoot them. More enemies and you shoot them, too. Repeat 5x hundred times and before you know it your having fun. Fat chance but I was wondering if anyone else here has played it???

Okay, I've got an ancient machine here at work. Its a Pentium 4 1.7GHz and I want to upgrade to an Athlon64 3200+ Am I going to have problems with the OS (WindowsXP) if I just switch out the motherboard and processor without doing a format? I am in the middle of a project and under no...

[edit] Yay I'm an idiot. I should learn to read :)

Anand noticed the performance curve on the Prescott was a litter higher than the Northwood. He says this is Prescott's Little Secret and being as smart as Anand thinks he is, I would have thought he'd explain this "phenominon." Anyway, in case anyone is wondering, the reason for this simple...

Hey guys, I am coming from the programming forum with a request. I need people with Pentium 4 Northwoods to download my program and post the timing results. The reason I make this request is that it seems my program does not run well on the Pentium 4, but to verify this I need to get some...
