Newegg has shin-etsu ^_^ http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835150080&Tpk=shin-etsu And DO NOT USE THAT CLOTH! You will ruin it with the thermalpaste. Using your library card to remove a majority of the thermal paste would be good and then use a paper towel for touch ups.

I don't think your computer will even start up at all without RAM will it?

I don't think you will want desktop gaming cards such as those for programs like CAD. I think you will be better suited with a card from the quadro series.

I would have to agree that Halo is dead. I'm not someone who didn't play the games. No. I played my halo disc so much it stopped loading. I even bought it for the xbox originals because I loved the campaign so much. I also played halo 2 to no end. I really think halo 3 killed it though. Halo 3...

I paid $20 for just Portal for PC and I played through it 3 times in two days it was so fun ^_^ If you like action games give Ninja Gaiden II a try it's only $20 new now days.

I've used Debian but I had a friend who's been using linux for years help me. Ubuntu is the best for just starting out. And the Google Chrome OS is just another linux distribution and is going to be targeted for small portable devices such as netbooks for basic functions.

They only had the collector's edition when I reserved it. I might see if I can change my reservation to prestige next time I make a payment. But we all know that night vision goggles for that cheap aren't going to be that great.

Go to the shop and talk to the manager. Seriously if you don't even know better to use thermalpaste or to even put the fan on the right way you shouldn't be working on computers.

I'm just not going to **** with it anytime soon again I'll probably just wait until I get my core i7 upgrade and go from there.

I'm rather pissed. I survived 1 hour of stress testing at 3.2Ghz but in under 15 minutes of playing crysis my computer crashed >_> Had to drop back down to 2.4ghz so it wouldn't crash.

I think I'll just wait until I can upgrade to nehalem since I will within at least a year. Buying a better CPU for 775 would be a waste of money right now.

I always buy a hard copy of my game. I enjoying having a physical collection ^_^

Alright. Unless getting my heatsink seated better actually drops my temps by a decent amount I doubt I'll OC it anymore. I'm really disapointed now though because I have it at 3.2Ghz, my RAM at like 820Mhz (somewhere around there) a creative extreme gamer and two GTX 285's and yet when I put...

So for the 1.5V limit is that after Vdroop?

So if I go to 1.5V or more I will harm my CPU? In my BIOS there is a red area with the higher voltages, a green area, and then below that is just a gray area so I'm guessing I should not go above the green voltages?

Finally got it to run on prime95 for an hour so I should be good to go. Temps maxed out at 58C for the two hotter cores but averaged at 55C so I think I'll need to get my heatsink seated better before I go any further, assuming I need to. Time to go see how crysis and far cry 2 run.

Well it says that the core that keeps failing had a log in the results and it says hardware failure. Should I just stay off of all applications while stress testing? Or maybe give it just a bit more voltage?

I don't believe my board underclocks my chip when it's not in use. I just got it stable enough at 3.2Ghz to start prime95 testing. The voltage in my Bios was set to 1.4V but I'm not sure how low it went with Vdroop. I'm really curious as to what is going on. My first two cores are an average of...

I tried to do 400x8 but it wouldn't work. I also tried to run it at 2.9Ghz with an x8 multiplier but it wouldn't work. Now I'm running at 2.9Ghz with an X9 multiplier. I can OC up to 2.9Ghz with little to no change in the voltage, but when I went passed that I upped the voltage. Coretemp says...

I hate to double post. I tried unlinked so my ram wouldn't OC windows wouldn't boot, so then I tried the ratio settings and windows wouldn't boot on anything but auto. I'm not sure what's wrong but now when I try to OC to 3Ghz, which used to be stable, my computer will crash in a matter of...
