Porkchop sandwiches!

Hey gang! If you were to start a brand new build today and the only stipulation was that you had to buy your components from American-based companies, who would you choose? (If the manufacturing also takes place in America, then bonus!) Some candidates that come to mind are: Corsair...

Thanks for the advice. I'd be happy to if it would improve the visibility of my question, although a quick scan of that sub-forum yields only processor-oriented results, which is why I elected to post in here. Also, a good number of the discussions in this forum appear to be...

Hey gang! I'm hoping that Kyle & Co. can offer some clarification on the specific methods they use to determine optimal stable overclocks for Radeon 5xxx VGA cards. I know from reading numerous [H] reviews that they prefer to OC the core first, then nudge the memory clocks to the point where...

Not to diminish Corsair's well-earned reputation, but it's this award a bit misdirected? To my knowledge, Corsair doesn't manufacture their own PSU's (Seasonic is the supplier, I believe) and they certainly don't manufacture their own memory chips (although they might be in charge of the module...

I can't speak for everyone here, but my beef with this is that I'm only running a single monitor. If my idle clocks were 157/300 in 10.4, why can't they stay the same in 10.5?

Thanks for taking the time to share this information. I think I'm starting to better understand that, for all the tools/metrics that are available, at the end of the day finding that limit is still just a matter of taking baby steps toward system instability and then taking one last step back.

Interesting. Do we have any reliable data about the average variance from assumed Tjmax (100C) for a given CPU? Or is it a matter of gradually heating the CPU to the point of self-induced shutdown (which would theoretically shed some light on the CPU's actual Tjmax)? Sorry for the newbie...

Found more info on Everest's site that supports the reply above: Q#34:Why is the "CPU" temperature considerably different from the core temperatures? A#34:While the "CPU" and "Motherboard" temperatures are measured by the sensor chip mounted on the motherboard PCB; the core temperatures are...

Hey gang! Just wondering if someone can offer some clarification between these two measurement types. I'm overclocking an i5-750 using various monitoring/benchmarking/stressing tools (OCCT, Sandra, Everest, etc.) and it's unclear to me exactly how these measurements factor into...
