I don't seee how Intel's buying McAffee has anything to do with CPU's. To me it must mean end products we don't know about yet. Like if Intel was going to sell their own branded version of the iPad or iPhone, etc. I heard a brief blurb today on the news that Intel was coming out with a...

One of the reasons I asked, is because on the Asus site where it describes the updated BIOS (version 0303), it says it will: "Increase system stability."

Should I update my BIOS? I have a Asus P6X58D-E and the BIOS version is 0108 from 3/23/10. Asus gives warnings that you could mess everything up and you shouldn't do it unless you have issues. I have no issues, but plan to do some overclocking.

It's irrelevant now because I just bought the E. That's a neat link, I'll have to check it out more; but the differences listed tell me I made the right choice.

I'm thinking of getting the Asus P6X58D-E or Premium motherboard. Can anyone tell me the difference, except the $50-60?

When I had this problem someone on this forum said to set the NB voltage to 1.45v. I did and that fixed it.

I have a raptor, and since you mentioned it, it does sound like my coffee maker!

While I only have one Pioneer IDE DVD/CD drive in my P5B Deluxe, I too was worried about this, but it was a non-issue for me. I didn't load any drivers for it and it works fine.

I'd say it isn't seated properly. I have the same setup and it's very difficult (impossible really) to install this heatsink without removing the motherboard from the computer. Before you apply the thermal paste, play with the seating pins a bit, to see how they are supposed to be when...

I'm no expert and you don't say what motherboard you are using, but... I would get the E6400 and the PC-6400 memory you want and try your FSB to 400 with a 8 mulitplier for a 3.2GHz overclock. That way you can run the memory at it's rated speed of 800MHz.

This is what I was thinking too. I'd like to know what kind of system the Corair 620HX will NOT be able to handle?

Like I said, I changed it to Power On for the test, so it works like you said. It just doesn't change the "start, stop, start again and boot normally sequence." Also, note like I said at the beginning, this sequence only happens when overclocking. I upgraded to the second most recent BIOS...

That makes sense, I'll try it. But, what's the purpose for these settings? EDIT: I just tried it and it doesn't change anything really. It does the same thing, except the computer starts without having to press the power button. In other words, once I turned on the power strip the computer...
