i've tired using several different multipliers. ideally i'd like to get to 200fsb x 11. however, whenever i try that setting (or anything similar) my computer shuts down immediately after i exit bios. i can't even reboot, i have to reset the cmos by using the jumper. i've tried memory settings...

which version of uber should i download?

unfortunately i only have one stick. do i need 2 to overclock?

when i set it at say 143 mhz x 6.5 it will get to the window where it is loading windows, then freeze. Usually i can hit the reset button on the case and it will reset and i can get back into BIOS. when i set it to 200 x 11 it just immediately locks up as soon as i exit BIOS. then i have to...

no, i have it locked at 66. and i have the memory settings at 6-3-3-2.5.

well, the good news is that i figured out how to adjust my fsb by 1mhz at a time. the bad news is that it doesn't seem to be helping. I set the multiplier to its lowest (6.5) and starting increasing the fsb by 5mhz. i can't get it about 143mhz without it locking up, no matter how much i increase...

Well, i've got my computer together and it is working fine off of the base specs (133fsb x 14 = 1.8 or so). however, every time i try to overclock it just locks up. i don't see how i can raise the fsb 5mhz at a time. my only choices are 100, 133, 166 and 200. when i try 166 or 200 and lower the...

wow...that is by far the most helpful explanation i've seen on how to find the best overclock speed. thanks. my psu is - Thermaltake W0014 Silent Purepower 480W with Black housing - Xaser Edition ATX 2-Fan Power Supply

i sure hope so... coolermaster praetorian case - 4 fans thermalright slk-900a heatsink YS tech 92x25mm cpu fan artic silver 5 and i got a aerogate II which has a little 40x fan for the hard drive

my memory is going to be 512k pc3200 (corisar)...so i'll probably start with 200FSB x 11 = 2.2ghz. i think the voltage starts out at 1.35. from the reviews i read i think most people upped the voltage to around 1.65-1.7 (i think 1.75 is max). would it make sense to start at 1.35 and slowly work...

So, as some of you probably are aware, i gots me a new computer. i'm going to put it all together on saturday, and before i do so i'm looking for some opinions on what speed to overclock. The mobo is the asus a7n8x-x and the cpu is 35 mobile xp 2400+ (266FSB, 1.8ghz operating speed). i have...

if you ever find that perfect book explaining linux, let me know.

I had a thread in here asking for help putting together my new computer...and i thank everyone who gave me their two cents. I ordered all the parts today. The one thing i did not buy was any software security. I've been looking around these posts and any reviews i can find online to see what...

just what i wanted...more choices!!! i think i'll go with the 35 Watt Mobile 2400+...it is only $9 more...and any bit less heat is worth a shot.

i was comparing the mobile 2400+ to the mobile 2500+...what's the difference? they seem to have identical specs to me...except the 2400+ is $11 cheaper.

Ok, Now i really think i'm good to go. Here is what i'm getting: Case: Cooler Master Praetorian SILVER ALUMINUM MID-TOWER CASE, Model "PAC-T01-E1" ($98 - Newegg) CD/DVD: NEC 8X Dual Layer DVD+/-RW Drive, Model ND-2510A SW BLK, OEM ($79 - Newegg) Hard Drive: Seagate 160GB 7200RPM SATA...

The thermaltake is a heatsink and a fan, correct?

i think the Thermalright "SLK900A" Copper Heatsink ($43), Vantec "ThermoFlow" Double Ball Bearing Case fan with Temp, Sensor, Model "TF9225" ($7) and "Arctic Silver 5", 3.5-gram( 1 cc. ) tube ($7.50) should work well. does the paste go right on the chip? does it go on anything else? you think...

I think the least expensive mobo/cpu combo would be ASUS "A7N8X-X" nForce2 400 Chipset Motherboard for AMD Socket A CPU -RETAIL ($67) & AMD Athlon XP 2500+ "Barton", 333 FSB, 512K Cache Processor - Retail ($87). From what i have read they are compatiable and easy to overclock. what else would i...

ah, thank you...i didn't even notice that. so...here are 2 combinations that should work: 1) ASUS "A7N8X-X" nForce2 400 Chipset Motherboard for AMD Socket A CPU -RETAIL and AMD Athlon XP 2800+ "Barton", 333MHz FSB, 512K Cache Processor - Retail Total = $188 2) MSI nForce3 250 Chipset...

Before I go ahead and buy an intel based system...many of you have suggested that i go with AMD. I have heard that AMD systems are less expensive and perform just as well. I went ahead and priced out an AMD system, and it is only about $50 cheaper than the intel system i had. Here is what the...

Thank you everyone for your help and opinions. I'm pretty sure what i'm gonna go with now...here is my final layout; Case: Cooler Master Praetorian SILVER ALUMINUM MID-TOWER CASE, Model "PAC-T01-E1" PSU: Antec 430W Power Supply, Model "TRUE430" Motherboard: ABIT "IC7-G MAXII...

what is the best mobo for my setup if i'm NOT going to overclock...ever? i'm assuming it will have 4 dimm slots...would it be more efficent to run it off of 2 512's or 4 256's...again, no overclocking?
