Ill have to do that. One other question kind of off topic, but do you know of any good gtx 260 aftermarket coolers? Ive seen a couple but im not sure

So if my incredible math is accurate, 666+666 roughly = 1333. I did not know that. Thank you, I love learning new things. I've seen this before but never questioned it. :good:

oh okay? Why does it say 1333mhz then :confused:

I just overclocked my phenom ii 555 for the second time (got it to 4ghz with the h50, max temp with prime: 31c). Not much but im happy since i finally figured out how to make things stable. My question is why my RAM speed and timings went down. I opened speccy and it said "666mhz...

Oh cool. So what are the steps to paint it myself? Time isnt an issue, it should be fun.

Thank you, but I mentioned the "pure" version. Its all black, they sold it for a while, but i havent seen it since last spring I think :( this case: http://ucables.com/img/ipics/COOLER-MASTER-COSMOS-R287087.jpg

I cant seem to find this case online anywhere anymore. I want it so bad now that I have the money for it. Tried local craigslists too. Let me know if there is a place I can pick one up at :( Thanks everyone

okay, so even overclocking on the stock heatink (40c max) is okay then I guess. I think ill get the CM hyper 212+ just for the hell of it :) couldn't hurt Edit: Thank you by the way.

I have the 555 it can unlock an extra core and is stable, but I keep it turned off for now (I don't like the stock heatsink). It idles at about 28c and max is 31c while gaming. I havnt ran Prime with it yet and the games I play arent that taxing. My question is, what is the heat limit on...

Even when they release the bulldozer (same with the 6 cores) people are still going to buy the faster quads (like me). Four cores that are clocked higher are far better then underclocked 6-8 cores in gaming(I say this because this is what most people on the forum do). A lot of people bought the...

Interesting how people that need help with computer builds get a large number of replies but not for actual tech help. Oh well :(

-So I put together a new computer (the one in my sig). -The first week it ran great. -Second week it started restarting itself on the loading screen or motherboard menu. -Now it is freezing either on the loading screen or on the desktop, but once i get a game started it wont freeze during...

I don't have a problem restarting the computer, my issue is getting it to the desktop. Numerous times and ways of it freezing and not loading past asus express gate/login screen/windows recovery freezes sometimes. BUT when I do get to the desktop I can play games for hours flawlessly, just...

That was one of the issues, it worked fine then started acting up so i put it back to stock speeds and cores. My ram also went bad (thank you memok light for telling me), it kept freezing at the desktop. Now this, haha. Three things in one weeks. At least ive built other computers with...

Okay thank you. Ill have to pick one up in a bit. Keep watching this post just in case I need some help please :) The power supply isnt the best. It was a blackfriday deal, but Im going to need a larger one soon (plus, I like single rails better then multi rails. Could the psu not having...

I don't have one and sadly, the closest place right now is BestBuy. So what should I be looking for specifically if I bought one?

So lately my computer has been restarting right after it goes through the motherboard load screens. Sometimes when I turn it on, all the fans (including my graphics card) run at 100% and never stop AND the nothing will post on the screen. My parts are in my signature, if you have anymore...

Sounds Good to me. Would the corsair 850hx be fine for a gtx 260 and gtx 470? sounds a little low on the watts but the single rail seems stable. Im only running 1 hard drive, but im adding 2 more soon, I know these can ramp up the power req.

Thanks for all the feedback. So with a gtx 260 as a dedicated physX card in x8, what other card, as the main, would be an improvement. Im assuming a gtx 460 1gb would be fine, and a gtx 470 would be more than enough. Im running a AMD 555 with one extra core unlocked @ 3.7, monitor is a 23...

Cool thank you. Yea, I know there are hacked drivers for AMD + PhysX, but I don't want to deal with that. Should I disable the onboard video through the Bios? Never have had a nice board like this. Edit: my board runs at x16 or x8x8. Will PhysX make it run at x8x8 or leave the main card...
