This might sound like I'm crazy, but does anyone know of any software that will purposely fragment my hard drive? I'm trying to do some benchmarks to see how fragmentation affects performance unfortunately Diskeeper has done a rather good job of keeping my hard drives in shape. Thanks for...

Hi All, Im looking to buy a new monitor (prob Dell Ultrasharp 2408WFP) which will mostly be used in design photoshop/flash stuff and other desktop type apps with the occasional spree of gaming. First of all, I own a nVidia 9600GT card, will this have any issues handling a monitor of this...

All this hating, Im wondering how many people have actually tried it! So far Win 7 seems like a step in the right direction performance wise, and this is coming from someone that loathes Vista!

Mine's also VID 1.3250 put it to 3.2ghz @ 1.33v when I got it. I've never tried to clock it any higher.

I had a Hiper 580 Modular an it died. Used to just have a really high pitch whistle when you turned it on... But nothing else. Didnt kill anything though, which was nice.

Gonna try to push my cpu a bit more today, but my temps seem pretty low as its roasting in here today! Room temp is 24.5c!

Im using a P5K-e that was recomended by users on here lots of times and I must say Im very impressed with it. Not that expensive either! Ive had the FSB up to 450mhz which isnt bad. Im pretty confident theres quite a bit more in it too I didnt put any effort in to getting that. Heres some very...

Seems pretty good! Mines at 3.2Ghz and 1.375v

Basically Im trying to get my system nice and quiet and the stock fan on this is by far the noisiest thing in my machine! Was looking at http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-023-AR&groupid=701&catid=57&subcat=787 Any ideas?? Thanks!!! :D

If you havent ordered yet Id recommend http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FG-012-AR&groupid=701&catid=57&subcat=4 Noisier at full speed but when on low are very quiet indeed whilst still moving quite a lot of air!

Quick question! On the Intel spec for the q6600 it has thermal specification at 62.5c does this mean the max core temps or the temp on the chip? Like asus probe tells me the chip is 16c when the cores are 27c 27c 26c 24c Thanks!

Had to up the voltage quite a bit from 1.325v to 1.375v in order to get stable... Oh wells. VID 1.325v Vdrop 0.033v Vdroop 0.024v After 3 hours of Prime temps got up to 56c 57c 53c 54c

Marvellous guide! Just started to overclock my new pc after having some issues intially with it randomly freezing... Bad times. Current settings! Q6600 @ 3200mhz 8x multi 1.375v VID 1.325v FSB @ 400mhz RAM @ 1003mhz temps after 15 mins Load 50c 51c 47c 48c Idle 27c 27c 26c 24c

Just out of interest what are the temps in your attic?

I have a 5c difference in my cores, pretty much whether the cpu is under load or not. Current idle temps are 32c 31c 27c 30c Apparently this is normal!

Seconded. Fast, reliable and quiet aswell for an added bonus!

Im using XP but I did have C1E enabled in bios which having changed does seem to have fixed it thanks for your help! :)

Good morning all! I think im having issues with speedstep, I need it to be off because of issues with Cubase. So I've been in to bios and turned it off but when I look in CPU-Z the cpup seems to be swtiching between 6x & 9x mulitplier. It seems to do it quite a lot in fact. Does this sound...

So bascially Im looking for the best performing CPU cooler, preferably one I can add my own fan to, was thinking the Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme but just want to check that just because it cost there most is it the best? Also what are the pros/cons of lapping? How hard is it to get right...

90c?!! Thats ridiculous, I've got my 3.2Ghz Prescott @ 3.8Ghz (keep pushing it a bit more, secretly I want it to break so I have an excuse to upgrade). Anyhoo idle its about 36-38c and load 48-50c. Suerly at 90c thats got to be a fire hazzard??
