wait.. wait... gimme a sec here... i think I got my head screwed on wrong... Geez, my bad! :banghead: I'll replicate my testing later (didn't save my results) and get back to you. In the meantime, if you wish, give PiFast, WPrime, and SuperPI some runs. It may have been those benches that...

To see the difference you must be using a memory intensive app or benchmark. If you have Everest, use the memory benchmarks provided. Or, SiSoft Sandra has a couple decent memory benches.

BCLK is tied to memory freq (QPI) even in unlocked CPUs. So, to pop off a great CPU-Z OC, just use the CPU multi and a little BCLK. However, for benchmarking, when memory speed is important (like PiFast, SuperPI, etc), use high BCLK and stock CPU multi. Discovered this using my i5 875K and a...

You using the mobo in your System Specs? If so, double check mobo manual to be sure you are using the correct slots, should be x8 by x8. Check to see if you need a BIOS Flash. Installed latest mobo drivers? Different brands of cards could be the problem, would not think so ...

Thanks for the heads-up, great price!

:toast: you know, I've read nearly every manual, guide, recommendation from MS, not one of them said to ignore common sense :D

Of course, put the page file on your fastest drive ... e.g. mine is contained solely on my SSD.

Google "page file". MS has several recommendations based on what you're doing with your system. Very rarely will you need to split the page file across physical drives. And if you do, they recommend a very small file on the boot drive and the bulk on a separate physical drive.

I have the U2711 and love it; my only regret is I should have gotten the U3011 :rockout:

Luv the side panel !!

Welcome to Tech Power Up Forums Not a direct hit, but a good start on overclocking: http://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/athlon2_phenom2_2010/3.htm

Something isn't right, CPU temp is normally HIGHER than mobo temp. In a case with good airflow/cooling, mobo temp should only be a few degrees over ambient/room temp. What are you measuring temp with?

I'll recommend the Corsair H70, but with different fans. The rig in that thread is mine. I run silent, about 1000RPMs, @ 2.8GHz idle @ 34 - 36C. I'm Prime95 stable @ 4.1GHZ @ 73C, and CPU-Z @ 4.4GHz. See this thread...

Yup, had that combo -- had my 750 up to 4.3 using CM Hyper 212+ w/dual, push-pull fans.

Geez, yup, you got a real mess there, LOL. Just get a 2TB HDD and back up all the partitions on to it using Acronis True Image Clone.
