Hey guys, I'm getting ready to do a fresh reinstall because my system is sluggish and it's been a couple of years anyway. I have some questions though: 1. I downloaded the Win 7 Pro x64 ISO and used the Win USB tool to format my 8GB stick to install Windows. I've never done that, so is...

It seems like I read that if I populate all the DIMMS it has to be clocked at 1066 (trying to find that)

I blindly posted this without noticing the memory sticky^^. Sorry about that, I'll read it in the meantime.

RAM configurations confuse me so maybe you can help me understand all of this. For what it's worth, I'm a video and photo editor so the RAM helps a lot for pre-rendering and previewing files. When I originally ordered my computer I purchased 2x2GB of this RAM...

Well thanks for the help folks but, after additional research it seems my motherboard, the m4a87td USB3 doesn't have heatsinks on the mosfets. On other boards without such heatsinks, it can be a fire hazard but on this Asus board it throttles down at the hardware level. I may try to get some...

I didn't have an option for "lowest setting". It looks like it just set what it thought was right (safe?) It was called Ai Overclock, I hit it, and it rebooted and now it seems I'm running 3.25ghz. I've let prime 95 run for about 20 minutes just to see what the temps did and it stabilized at...

To answer both your questions: Yes, it does have an Auto Overclock - I thought those were generally unreliable? My load gets to around ~51c on load currently with stock and I thought I read somewhere with this chip and the Hyper 212 it should be cooler than that. (The fact that it apparently...

Anyone with a Hyper 212 care to comment on my current temps and if my voltages look normal?

After researching for a week straight my head is about to explode. I hate to ask newbie questions when there is so much information provided on the internet (and this forum alone), however I see contradictory info everywhere I go. I essentially want to OC my computer but I'm unsure about...

All right, I've reset to the bios defaults because I need to isolate why this computer isn't performing up to stock specifications in the first place. The more research I do it seems to be a bios issue with my ASUS m4a87TD USB3 motherboard. Hell if I know what it is - I've tried disabling CnQ...

Man I'm not sure what's going on. I've been trying to figure this out for 3 days straight so obviously I've been looking at other threads on here. Since my last post I overclocked my CPU - and still getting under 5 in Cinebench. Would it help if I opened up various monitor applications and...

Here's a couple including an OpenGL test:

I'm actually basing my system analysis on comparative data of all the benchmarks I'm comparing my system to. Like I said in my other posts, BF3 beta prompted me to benchmark my card using all kinds of different utilities and games. I found the results to be far lower than they should be...

Hey folks, this is my first post here but Google has led me here many times so I'm somewhat familiar with the high level of troubleshooting you guys are capable of. First, I'm not sure if this is the correct forum to post this in but here goes: I'm a total noob at Overclocking and...
