Someone gave me a P4 and I need a good OC MB for it.  I read on
O'clockers.com database that this chip has potential. Because it's a few
years old, I don't know what is the proper MB for it, only that it is socket
478.  Here are the specs:

Maybe it's undocumented, but bearing in mind every AMD processor now
has a unique serial number printed on it, does anyone know if it's
possible to read the serial number using software, sort of like the PSN
in Pentium IIIs?

I'm thinking of building a system with this MB using the retail fan.
In the user manual the CPU fan header has 4 pins
GND, +12v, CPU_FAN_SPEED and FAN_SPEED_CONTROL.
My memory of the retail fans (supplied with CPU by AMD) is that they

Just trying to hit 4 ghz with my Intel E6400 Core2Duo. I can do 8X450
3.6 ghz fine , though the cores get to 60c+, nothing a Swifttec Water
cooling system wont fix :)
Its high quality OCZ 6400 ram, Platinium ram in fact :)

I'm receivin a E6300 Core 2 Duo ans an ASUS P5B next week.
How fast does the ram have to be to reach modest (not high because I don't
want a very noisy cooling setup) overclocking results.
Can I pick up som cheap G.Skill PC5400 ram or does it have to be PC6400 ?

I just bought a core 2 duo 1.86 with a board by ECS that allows you to use
DDR1 and AGP (for us poor bastards that can't afford new memory and video
cards) and I know this is supposed to be a great overclocker, I am sure
however I am limited with overclocking by my memory.(but I ...

I'm looking into building a new core 2 duo system and read a great review on
the 6400 OC'd to 3.1 with stock cooling.  How does the 6300 and the others
do?  Is the 6400 the new sweet spot, bang for the bucker for right now?

Guys, I have a question for you
I built my first computer a few months back. But last night I tried to
overclock it.  I had have an MSI platinum with an +3800 AM2 and Corsar
DDR2 800-6400 (5-5-5-12).  I used the CoreMaster program and found that

   I'm about to purchase a new AM2 MB and CPU. The CPU i'm getting is the
DC 4600+, and i'm thinking of the Foxconn C51XEM2AA-8KERS2H NF590 SLI MB. Is
this motherboard good for overclocking and performance? Or should I look at
the ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe?

I have been reading up on this and as Ii liek this kind of stuff would
like to do it. I read that it can give at most a 5c degress in temps
and thats what i want with a overclocked 7950 Gt :)
