Hey Heinekus, Thanks for the response and tips! My CPU is the Phenom II 940 and I'm using an Arctic Freezer 64 Pro Cooler. A pretty cheap cooler, but does an adequate job :) I've also done a bit of reading on the Asus probe 2. I know it doesn't measure the CPU core temperature (available from on-die temperature sensor as you pointed out), but doesn't it give a fairly good estimate of the CPU "package" temperature. For me, this is what i'm interested in beca

Hey all, This is something I've been wondering about for a long time. For all you guys/gals who also own a phenom 940, could you please post your temperature below. Also, could you please specify the program you use to measure the temperature. I run a phenom 940 overclocked to 3.61 Ghz. After prime95 for an hour (large FFT), I get the following: - 53 degrees with Asus probe 2 &

I forgot to add another detail to my first email. After I close the error message mentioned in the third bullet, and check the memory stats for the USB key. Everything reads zero! - The capacity of the USB key is 0 bytes. - The memory used is 0 bytes. Not sure if this means anything. Thanks again.<

Hi all, I've been struggling with this problem for "hours" now and I'm at a lost. I'm hoping you techies can help me out. I have a problem with my Kingston 8 Gb Data Traveler USB drive. Here are the details: - It works on computer "A", but not on computer "B". - On computer B, the USB is recognized. When I try to "copy and paste" a file to the memory stick, it gets "stuck" halfway. - After a while, computer "B" complains with the following:

Hi all, I recently picked up a Sapphire 4870 X2 2 GB video card. This thing is hot! In forums, people always say the maximum tolerable GPU temperature is above 100 degrees Celcius. I can't find this information on AMD's website. Where did people get this information from? Can anybody provide a link to AMD's official maximum GPU temperature for this card. Thanks in advance.

[quote who="Tamren" reply="10" id="2155514"]The real bottleneck is cpu time. I have an 8800GTS512 and the only thing keeping me from running all effects on high is that I run out of ram and things start getting shunted to the page file. And that makes things sloooow. In heavy battles and on huge maps I get slowdown but I am quite certain it all has to do with my CPU and not my GPU. Turning antialiasing on and off doesn't do anything but disabling V-sync has a huge effect.[/quote] &nbs

Finally decided to upgrade my video card. Just bought a Sapphire 4870 X2 video card. Going to install it later tonight and do some benchmark. Never been able to play any games at 1080p with all eye candy turned on... Hopefully, this baby will be able to do that... A little worried about driver issues.... especially with older titles...

[quote who="crashmatusow" reply="3" id="2118145"]why did you buy 4 GB ram with a 32bit OS?[/quote] A couple of reasons as follows: - Like Dan Neely said, DDR2 is stupid cheap. - Applications can use 3.25 GB of the ram. &

I have to agree with Xenophobe. This is especially true if you an AMD BE processor which has an unlocked multiplier. With this processor, you just have to adjust one parameter to OC your cpu. Undoubtedly, you will need to increase your CPU voltage to OC your cpu. But if you do it in small increments and Prime95 your computer at every iteration, you will not fry your cpu. Just make sure you have a good after market cooler. Heat kills... Actually, voltage kills more, just be car

SINS certainly seems CPU bound. I had tested the game with the lowest possible resolution and with all effects turned off. I still saw the same framerates (9-12). Maybe, I should have sacrificed dinner to try to save up another 300 dollars to get an I7 based system :(

Hi all, I recently built a new computer with the following specs: - AMD Phenom 2 940 (OC'ed to 3. 61 gHz) - Asus M4A79 Deluxe MB - 4GB OCZ Reaper Ram (OC'ed to 1100 Mhz) &n

Hey guys, I use Norton Internet Security 2009 -it is actually quite good. Huge difference when compared to NIS 2008. NIS 2008 had a ton of problems- a couple are as follows: - Resource hog - Stuck when running Live update When I updated to NIS 2009, everything was dandy. Live update was running as expected and resource usage was also decreased. It also ranks highly on several reviews. I believe that Maximum PC gave it a 9 in their reviews. For anybody w
