    EVGA Precision shows lower clock on graph

    I have a BFG GTX260 OCX. The clock on the right is displayed at 655 which is correct but on the graph it only goes up to 648 during gaming. Why is that? I'm not overcocking. Everything is at default speeds.

    What is the screw size for the Lian-Li boss? The bosses are located on the bottom of the V series to hold the casters on. I think the stealth CD bezels have the same ones.

    What lighting to use?

    I have a Lian-Li v1000z case and want to add some light in the case. I don't want anything too excessive but just to have a soft glow on the components. I don't know if a 4" cold cathode would be too much or not enough. Or maybe LED's would be better. Any advise?

    Thermalright 120 Black Poor Quality?

    I just received the TRUE 120 Black today. I want to ask you guys that own this cooler if it has the same color difference near one end. If you look at my picture you can clearly see this. Looks almost like it's been overheated. Maybe this is part of the manufacturing process, I don't know. I...

    Speed on Quad-Core

    When a Quad-Core CPU is rated at 2.4GHz (Q6600 for example), does that mean each core uses 2.4GHz with a total of 9.6GHz or is it more like 0.6MHz for each core? Also if you have a Quad-Core, is it necessary to use a 64bit OS or will everything run just fine with 32bit?
