Thats a great review thanks Eddy, same board as myself. Once ive got my fan and really start tinkering Ill be setting the LLC to 19%

Ok Im up to scratch and read all the post in this topic, took me a good few hours though I must be a slow reader compared to some! Some interesting posts and think I have a better understanding of what Im doing now, I will however still be asking for advice along the way, still my first time...

Ok Big.Wayne ill get reading. Thank You

Ok thanks guys, well my temps never go above 55 under full load using prime95 for about an hour so will leave it on tonight when I go to bed and hopefully it should be fully stable. If so I will look at increasing the multiplier and running more prime tests, and posting back here once I find my...

lol no I told my girlfriend I was only popping on the computer for 5 minutes hehe. Im guessing there will be a lot of advice in the 19 pages before that I should do? Im just a little scared of getting it wrong and was looking for advice given my hardware, havnt got my head around all of...

Yeah Id prefer to keep well under that personally, what should my next step be to find more power? Do I just keep increasing the multiplier until the system becomes unstable and then go backwards from there? Watching temps? I want to try and achieve around 3.8ghz stable without doing too much...

Also just noticed my idel temp is dropping also, down at 28c now.

Ah right, as I say im very much a newbie, however I do live in Northwest England so air temp is very low 99% of the time if that helps keep systems cool. Its about 2 outside at the moment hehe So if we say stock cooling is ok for now, how should I move on and overclock further without pushing...

Yeah I have run Prime95, but only for an hour or so, when I saw the temps when running it which were around 54 I decided to turn it off lol Im a bit scared of all this. The temp is 31.5 at idle. Thats using overdrive to monitor temps, however I raised the multiplier via bios Think the uprated...

Hello, doing my first overclock and been advised to post here. My system is: AMD Phenom II X2 550 Black Edition 3.1GHz Asus M4A785TD-V EVO 785G Socket AM3 Arctic Power 700W PSU Kingston 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 1600MHz/PC3-12800 HyperX Memory Sapphire HD 4870 512MB GDDR5 I have increased the cpu...

Heres a screen dump of cpuz with the cpu multi at x18 Ill post it in that tread with the other info also.

Right think Ill go for a tx3, ill have a go with stock cooling first and see how it does and upgrade if required. TX3's are about £17 delivered so not bad at all.

Thanks, looking forward to it, never been one for overclocking really, but its like something for nothing as long as it works and I dont break anything so why not! I have also heard the stock cooler isnt up to scratch really so will look at upgrading, dont want to spend too much on a fan...

Thank You Eddyc, yes I had read that topic. Think we both agree im stuck with 2 cores which is fine with me, thats what I paid for! For overclocking I would personally like to do it via BIOS I will however have a look over that guide to learn what all these abbreviations mean. I will try...

Hello, I have built my new budget gaming pc, this is the spec: AMD Phenom II X2 550 Black Edition 3.1GHz Asus M4A785TD-V EVO 785G Socket AM3 Arctic Power 700W PSU Kingston 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 1600MHz/PC3-12800 HyperX Memory Sapphire HD 4870 512MB GDDR5 I have tried enabling unleashing...

I don't actually get the case until monday, but here is a link to the spec: http://www.thermaltake.com/product/Chassis/desktop/mozart/vc4000sns.asp The Thermalright Ultra-120 Looks like a real nice piece of kit, can anyone tell me If it will fit? Sorry Im a little slow when it comes to things...

I bought OEM so I didnt get any fans with it :( Kinda regretting buying OEM now.

Ok I have just purchased a Thermaltake Mozart VC4000SNS ATX HTPC. So Im looking for a far that will fit on this board and fit inside this case and be a quiet as possible please. Cheers

Im not sure yet, possibly a Thermaltake mozart full size or Antec Fusion, Both are high cases that will takepretty large fans I would guess? They both take a full size PCI card anyway.

Please can people give me their suggestions to some nice desktop cases. I have looked at the Thermaltake Mozart Case and Antec Fusion case. Both look really nice just wondering If anyone knows of something as nice thats a bargain? Looking at spending up to about £125 Cheers
