    Back in the saddle - Help an old-timer

    I haven’t looked into WC info for years and feel completely out-of-date. I’ve gotten married and become a father since the last time I did this and am very short on time these days. I would really appreciate your help and am hoping someone on this board can let me know if scaling...

    3rd party advice on RMA outcome

    Hey, guys. I understand that an 8800GT and an old 8800GTS 640 are reasonably equivalent (96->112SPs, but 128MB more ram and 50% more memory bus width), but I bought a second card for SLI and the second card failed. Now I have an 8800GT RMA replacement and my original 8800GTS 640. Maybe an...

    Can I consolidate these two loops this way w/o loosing performance?

    The short of it I was wondering if the more experience watercoolers here could help me figure out if I can consolidate my dual loop setup into a single loop setup w/o it costing me any performance. So, this is what the loop would end up being: MCP655-B -> XtremeII Rad -> MCW30 -> Intel...

    Specific DIMM combination questions

    Will 4x 1GB DIMMs be a different amount of stress on my memory controller vs running w/ 2x 512MB DIMMs and 2x 1GBers? My board's NB is the nforce 650i, if anyone thinks that tid-bit matters. Thanks for weighing in.

    Games that really test GPU OC stability? Is UT3 such a game?

    Hey, guys. So, I was all happy that my current video card (my second XFX 8800GTS, which is still on the stock air cooling and the only card in my rig, ATM) was "stable" at 684/1620/1080. I could run the ATITool artifact scanner for hours, I could run 3DMark06 till I turned purple, I could...

    Dual internal WC loops in a new P180B

    I like the clean, sharp look. This is what I have, so far. Sorry about the quality, the actual camera is dead ATM, so you get a pic from my cell. This is not a worklog, per se. "If you like sausage, don't watch it being made", and all. This is more a place holder for the...

    Notes on performance with OCed RAM

    I have seen the benefits of 1T command timing listed on various reviews around the web. I have also had people around here point out its performance advantages. I switched from DDR2-1066 @ 5-5-5-15-2T (22TRC) w/2.2v to DDR2-800 @ 4-4-4-12-1T (17TRC) w/2.2v. I saw a very small performance drop...

    Looking for input/thoughts on my first attempt at a stable OC

    Hey, all. This is my first OCed system. I made my first attempt back when the 300a slot Celerons were going to 450 on a regular basis, but mine wouldn’t do it for me. So, here’s my next try. I am looking for assistance in getting to 3.2 on the stock Intel HSF (rest of watercooling...

    What voltage is/was your stock e6600 running at?

    I got my e6600 running in an Intel DG965WH in just the last couple of days, and it's stock voltage is 1.290v, according to the Intel monitoring utility I got off their site. My plan is to pick up an enthusiast motherboard (likely the P5N32-E SLI Plus) in the future and use that and my...

    Converting this system building project into my first OCed system

    I have been building systems for myself and others since the late 90's, when my dad financed my first system. I have never put together an OCed setup for anyone (even myself) in all that time, however. I had a "celery" 300a back in the day, and I admit I tried it at 450, but mine wouldn't even...
