i would upgrade the processor if there were viable options for 775. im holding up for the new gen with ddr3. im just looking for it to last 2-3 months before everything else starts failing so that way i can transfer the video card over too. edit- ordered the sapphire 6870.. also ordering a new...

Sorry for adding on to this but i forgot one major major problem. i have an "inexpensive" power supply. i bought this because i remember the reviews and ive seen lots of people using it with a gtx 460 and other newer cards. anyway, its the Rosewill Libertas Series LIB-650. its still running and...

Thanks everyone for the replies. I used to have an e8400 overclocked to 3.96Ghz with a gtx 260 and i have to say that for the games i play the most the performance is "almost" the same. i mainly play css, wow, l4d2, some crysis. will be doing other games if the video card can show me some...

Hey guys need some help. My 8800gt has just went on me and is constantly refreshing the video on me. I was wondering if the ati 6850 or the 6870 will be a bottleneck on my e6300 OC to 3.4Ghz 1.34v. I will be upgrading everything else later on this year after the holidays but will this...

sounds good. thanks for the help on this. ill give it a shot and let yah know how it works out. thanks again

i see what youre saying. basically im just going to keep the system stock. the only thing ill probably mess with is the ram voltage if required and maybe the timings. i was actually looking at the pc2-6400 ballistix tracers. theyre 70 bucks and a lot of good reviews. yes no?

yeah i dont have the patience to do the rma. you know, dealing with the post office, and then waiting for them to receive it, test it and then send out. ill just order new stuff. which ram do you recommend though? 6400 or 8500? and which company would you suggest?

the ram was set on auto with a voltage of 1.8. i thought it was the voltage so i upped it and same thing. changed timings and same thing again. the timings the board used was 5-7-7-20 with 1.8v before i touched anything. so i used 5-5-5-15 with 2.1v as gskill recommended. same thing. i wasnt...

i was wondering if anyone can suggest new ram for me on my gigabyte p35-ds3l board. i just built this thing with a e8400, 2x2 gskill pc2 8500 and one of my sticks went bad. i tried raising the voltage and adjusting the timings but everytime windows was finalizing the installation i got the...

cant oc now got the ccc installed and all that good stuff. i disabled the ccc overdrive and then tried to oc with atitool. THEN i got the blue screen. so, i dont think i will be overclocking with atitool :banghead:

688/790 with ccc's overdrive. going to overclock with atitool soon. p.s. if you dont hear from me, something blew up. :D

ok i figured something out. i had conflicting drivers. i suppose it was old drivers with new. never did a clean sweep from what i was told. im going to do a test and post up my specs and see what you guys think.

alot of people say to disable the ati services like hotkey poller and cli . i dont use ccc because it crashes my comp. i tried getting the new ccc with drivers and it would put my monitor in standby. so i took out ccc and rolled back my drivers. i got my fan running at 100% and it is cleaned...

so what should i do? raise the voltage? i see people with voltages at 1.4... should i try that?

forgot to mention temps. idle is 43 and load is im guessing around 80-90. i got the a/c blasted so it wont heat up lol EDIT: ok... the time is now 1036pm at time of editing this post. cs source crashed again. looping sounds and brought me to desktop and reset my overclock. im confused but...
