    My Prescott 2.8E is currently overclocked to 3.4ghz with a FSB of 243. The CPU voltage on the Abit IS7 is 1.6625 V. The DDR voltage is 2.6V on my 2x512mb PC3200 setup. (1x512mb is a no-name Legacy brand and the other 1x512mb is a Mushkin value brand). Through the BIOS, the 2x512mb DDR400...

    1.66 V ok for P4 2.8E???

    I've had my 2.8E for about a year now. On the first mobo that this proc was installed to, it could only reach 3.1GHZ. Once I swapped the old Soyo board for the Abit IS7 in my sig, I'm able to take it up for 3.5GHZ with a FSB of 250mhz on a 5:4 ratio. At 3.5GHZ with 1.61 V, however, my...

    Which voltage line is most important for GPU overclocking?

    I noticed that there is an inverse relationship between how far I can overclock my CPU to my GPU. If I overclock my CPU to a high level (such as my current 2.8E to 3.5GHZ overclock), my BFG 6800GT can't be overclocked that much. In fact, with my CPU at 3.5GHZ, my 6800GT flashed into an Ultra...

    Result from replacing stock 6800GT ramsink with copper

    As the title says, I took off the black aluminum (?) ramsink and replaced it with 8 copper ramsinks with Vantec. After running the HDR demo for a while, I touched the ramsinks and they were very warm. With the old black ramsink on, the surface temp never got as warm as the copper ones. So...

    As Koolance owners already know, there are 3 80mm fans blowing on top of the radiator inside that long, black sleek case. The air is blown upward. Now, I was wondering, would my temperatures be improved if I were to reverse the orientation of those 3 fans so that the airflow in directed...

    OC 9800Pro through Radedit--stable? Best timing?

    Since my 9800Pro can overclock easily to 445MHZ for the core and 365MHz for the RAM, I decided to extract the originla BIOS file from my card, change the default core and RAM clock speeds to 440MHZ and 360MHZ, and run the card this way. This way, I don't have to depend on OC'ing utilities...
