You don't people listen, everything but the clock speed is the same. At least as much as is published on Newegg.

Well, it sisn't really answer my question. Both processors have Toledo cores and the exact same amount of cache. Furthermore, the FX-60 is only 200 MHz faster than the 4800+. So, if I were to overclock a 4800+ to 2.6 GHz would I have an FX-60?

You want future proof? Here it is. But on a more budget minded note, this should work.

Okay, I was Newegg looking at processors and came accross someting I find interesting. The FX60 costs $811 while the 4800+ costs only $369. I compared them and it turns out everything, cache and core, is the same except for the clock speed. And even that is only 200 MHz. Does this mean that the...

Yea, an overloaded cheap PSU won't last very long and, unfortunately, when they go they go postal. There are horror stories of PSUs burning out and taking motherboards, processors, and video cards with them. This image was posted by AT to show why you shouldn't get a cheapo. ImageShack -...

First of all, this should be in the video card forum. But anyways, it isn't actually at zero, the software is just having issues detecting the speed. Think about it, if the clocks were at zero then the computer would have no video. I would recommend that you make sure the OC utilities are up to...

Ok, my computer is currently running at 2.8 GHz. I am running Prime 95 right now to see if it is stable. The Vcore is at 1.475. My question is how high is too high. I think I will cut off the voltage at 1.5. Any other thoughts about this?

I think most of my problem is my motherboard. I got errors at 2.55 GHz. I can raise my latendies but as I stated memory timings shouldn't be a huge issue. 2.7, however, would be mighty nice. 500 MHz OC. Thats like... 23%. Niiiice. EDIT: It was apparently it was all in the HT speed. I didn't...

Well but it is high quality Corsair RAM. And, as I said, I wasn't sure whether or not the speed was more important than the latency.

Today I decided to overclock my computer and this is what I have at the end of the day. CPU: AMD 64 3500+ -Native clock: 2.2 GHz -Over clock: 2.5 GHz GPU: ATI X800 Pro -Core/Memory native clock: 470/450 MHz -Core/Memory over clock: 520/500 MHz The CPU OC is mediocre but I like the...

Many people won't necessarily switch for real functionality but because they want the newest OS. I know I will get it simply because I want it.

I know why you use it, serious gaming. That said I am not into it enough to justify that kind of spending.

I don't really like the over the top design but that is all personal preference. I have an MGE Viper but now I hate it. I want an Antec p180 so bad.

Yes, 233 MHz FSB will give you nearly 3.5 GHz (3495 MHz). That is a bit high for a 3 GHz P4, however. I think you would hit some fairly severe temperature problems at that speed. I would recommend sometihng around 3.2-3.3 Ghz. Even that may be too high.

Your HD is gone. try to get a replacement form either WD or the retail store where you bought it.

Yea, mine have both. There is a sticker on the back that says not to use them both. I used the 2 SATA connectors on my PSU and then used molex for the other 2.

Well, 6800 GT does sound better than 6800. Gives it that race bred, learned to walk in the pit lane at Sebring feel.

Indeed it is. Find the multipler value too. You found the FSP (Front Side Bus). Multply the FSB by the multiplier and you should get your frequency. For example my FSB is 200 with a multipler of 11. That gives me 2.2 GHz. If I want 2.5 GHz then I make the FSB 227 MHz. 227*11=2497 MHz or...

Yea, fortunately, permanent damage form an OC is rare. The computer usually either starts or it doesn't. Then you just go back into the BIOS and put it back/lower it.
