Today I finally picked up my complete system. I got lucky on the case, they
had a 'slightly damaged' Antec Performance One for half the price. The
damage (invisible) didnt bothe rme so I jumped on the opportunity. I added
an Antec True Power Trio 650, so I at least wouldn't have ...

nVidia released a new version of nTune, 5.05.38.00 released April 26, 2007.
Prior to this release nTune did not work correctly on my EVGA 680i
motherboard.  The 'tune' function (algorithm for seeking best overclock) did
not work at all.  Now 'tune' does work but I'm still not ...

Hi, I'm new to this forum and to overclocking.
I'm building a new system: ASUS P5N-E Sli, Core2 Duo 6600, 2GB 800MHz DDR2
RAM, Vista Ultimate, nVidia 7600GS 256mb (soon to be 8800GS, 320mb) Video,
SATA II drives.

I've just put together
Asus M2N8-VMX socket AM2
AMD Athlon X2 3600 AM2
2 x 512M PC6400 Elixir DDR2 800 SDRAM

I have the subject combo with 4 gig DDR2 800. Runs fine at stock speeds.
I have tried lowering the HTT to 4, lowering the RAM to DDR2 667, increasing
the RAM voltage from default 1.8v to 1.95v.
The best I can get out of FSB is 220 (10% overclock). I've read the default

Just a quick q. I see a lot mentioned about the 4300 beeinga  desent Ocer
and good price/performance. How about the 4400? It's very little difference
in price, should one still go for the 4300??
Best Wishes

I have the opportunity to aquire an HP workstation at a good price - the CPU
in that machine is an AMD Dual Core Opteron 1210 (1.8Ghz with 2MB L2 cache).
Does anybody know what the  Intel Core 2 Duo CPU would be that has a similar
processing power as this Opteron? Application is ...

Hello, All!
My ASUS A8V is possible on its last leg and I'm beginning to shop for
replacements of it and other pieces (CPU, etc.). I'm currently inclined to
replace the AMD Athlon64 3000+ with one of the Intel Core 2 Duo chips. My

What does PC1066 mean, and and what advantage does a 1:1 ratio confer?
I consider the question definitively setteled.  The CPU clock : memory clock
ratio is identical to the FSB :  memory bus ratio.  The nomenclature is
murky, but DDR2 PC1066 memory is qualified to run with a memory ...

Can somebody explain the fsb/multiplier settings the chip would be set to at
stock... and what changes I would need to make to run this at 2.8 > 3.0ghz
I havent built a system with core 2 duo yet and my expierience with
overclocking is with thoroughbred B AMD XP chips which ...

I am overclocking my Northwood P4 2.4GHz, to 2.7 GHz.  I would like to get
more out of it.  I have the core voltage to 1.525V.  I also have the memory
to asynchronous 375, voltage to automatic.  Do you know if I can go higher?
I am worried about trying a voltage higher than 1.525 ...

Does anyone know how to change the memory timing on a Gigabyte GA965P-DS3
firmware F10?  I am stuck at 5-6-6-17 at 900mhz and cant find any options
for improving the DRAM settings.  Thanks.
By the way, I easily turned my E6300 up to an FSB of 450 (3.15ghz) using a
