It is large, but I didn't find any issues with it as far as getting in the way of other components. I just got fed up with the high temps... most happy now! And sorry... my mistake, I have the 2500k SB.

Such an idiot... while I thought I was having issues with the IDE drive as it was a bootable drive in its prior life. Went thru fdisk blah blah blah... reboot and it still doesn't work. I'm in the bios trying to get the drive to move up/down in the boot list, using the shift +/- on the...

This^^ OP, I have the same mobo and cpu as you and was having some temp problems myself. While I got it to within a good idle range (after reseating the cpu), I was getting major high temps when playing Battlefield Bad Company 2... which is notorious for this. I just gave up and went the...

No jumper set on Sata drive and it is placed on the SATA 1 port. The IDE drive states without jumper it is a slave, with jumper in first position is master. I've tried with and without jumper, same result. Again what I'm finding odd is that I cannot move the drives or the boot order. I've...

Hi all... I got an Compaq Presario SR5223WM from a friend, whose power supply went on it. Gave it to me so that I can fix, clean and resell it. Installed spare power supply and it works fine. Used Compaq's restore application to get it back to default, as if from factory. This computer...

Sent it out on 02/21...

I got my rebate about 2 days ago.

I have an Asus P8P67 Deluxe motherboard... I'm having some severe heat issues when playing BC2. I haven't really touched anything other than changing the memory to use XMP. In another thread, someone said that maybe my voltage is high, which might be the under the auto/default setting...

My cpu ratio was set at 37.0. I've never changed voltage... any instructions on how/where to do that? In the meantime, I'll try to figure that out myself. Asus P8P67 Deluxe mobo I believe I did... I put a small dollop AS5 right in the middle of the cpu. What else would you put with...

Well... I've discovered at one problem and possibly another... 1) Apparently I'm using the wrong MemTest86!!! I was using ver 4.0 updated in 03/2011. Found out at GSkill's forums that there is a MemTest86+ ver4.2 (notice the +), which was updated for Sandy Bridge. 2) I...

Acutally yes, I dug out a small fan and used it.

Really??? I removed and reseated the stock cooler... I noticed that I may not have pushed the pins thru enough to make them click the first time, but 2nd time I'm still getting high temps. I brought down my cpu clock to 30.0 just to keep temps down. So I'm not sure now... maybe my 5+ year...

I just put together my Asus P8P67 Deluxe with the 12800CL9D-8GBXL memory. I'm also having crashes while playing Bad Company2... doing some research and even though G.Skill says its made for P67, it is not lised in their compatibility list. More research has led me to this link and also see...

Could be... but wow! I understand that its a crappy cooler... and that it could be improperly seated. Took it off and put it back on with no changes. Could be old AS 5? I put some out and mixed it up. I'm still learning and found out about CPUID's Hardware Monitor. Core temps are...
