Alright ladies and gents, before I start to say anything I wanna state that I know how to O/C and the basics of whats needed to be done and such. Now my problem is that when trying to overclock my Q6600 to 3.0Ghz either my second core always fails or the CPU runs way to hot to be stable. Whats even more annoying and weirder is that my ...

I am thinking about overclocking my humble E6400, since I decided not to upgrade yet, in order to see what happens with the i7s and with the Deneb competition. I am not a fanboy of any brand, so I don't might waiting until January or February to make a better choice. I've made a couple of threads here asking what I should do, but it's so...

Just took a look at the Falcon NW and Velocity Micro websites. They've started offering systems with Core i7. I decided to do a comparison with Newegg, and the boutique vendors have a mark up of over $2000. Branding is expensive . I remain entrenched in my convictions that only rich idiots who can't tell the difference between DDR3-...

Hey friends! getting a processor. after a lot of thought, thinking of getting the e8500. but the q9300 seems more tempting. my use if for games, daily applications - word, web, music and the usual. at times do use the pc to transfer my handycam movies via firewire and do light edits. but not very often. very rarely. The price is ...

Use a roll of duct tape underneath the motherboard when pushing on the pins....

I have to believe that this has been well covered already, but I had no luck with searches. So maybe someone can point me in the right direction. Basically, I'd like to know why my recent upgrade didn't give me the speed increases I was expecting. Old system: 1.4 Ghz AMD 1 Gig ram IDE drives New system: Intel quad core 2.4 ...

Why don't they ever post a picture of the internal memo in question? This has to be the 2nd or 3rd "internal memo" that claims either Deneb is awesome or sucks. Show us the memo...let us read it and see what it says. Blank out the name(s) in the memo, but let us read it. Is it that hard to post the "memo"? Also, why in the world ...

Intel revised its Q408 forcast, cutting from estimates of $10.1 billion to $10.9 billion to new estimates of revenue between $8.7 billion and $9.3 billion.....$2.2 billion less in worse case. Intel continued following the market trend closing the day down $0.42, but dropping nearly $1.00 in after hours, hanging @ $12.58 on the ...

So I use to have the E6600 and thought that there would be a huge improvement by upgrading to the Q9550 especially for games like Flight Simulator X. So far I haven't notice a bit of difference and it is sooooo frustrating. I cant believe there would even still be lag with this awesome CPU in games. So what am I doing wrong? I still ...

I had the same issue, but mine might be different. It was because I was using IDE cd drives with SATA HDDs. Strange that it may sound... as it should be compatible and should not have affected the drives. Swapping to SATA cd drives solved my problems.

I know nothing about server, at all, so is this good?
