im running a 2.5ghz intel quad core q9300 with a gigabyte g41m-combo mobo, Is there anything i can do to over clock it. Not after loads of gain as i want to keep it as stable as poss but some gain will be great if i can.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have the 32 bit Windows 7 on my computer because it seems to work better than the 64 bit. However like any computer geek I want the 64 bit and with a removable Hard Drive I can put the 64 bit on the other Hard Drive. Once I get tired of my 32 bit I'm sure I'll build the 64 bit but once I do this I don't think Microsoft is going to like it if I plug in my 32 bit once I register the 64 bit? What do you think?
Now I want to build a new computer but what good is the quad? Does any software run on it using all 4 CPU's?
need info for above.

View 4 Replies View RelatedWe're looking to get one of the following boards:ASRock X79 Extreme 6/GB ASRock X79 Extreme9 ASRock Fatal1ty X79 Professional The first 2 state that their memory standard can go up to an overclocked 2400MHz, the last one an overclocked 2600MHz.Does that mean that if you put 2400MHz memory in, the board can overclock up to that? Or should you buy the highest regular standard supported (1600 in this case) and overclock up to 2400?

View 5 Replies View RelatedAbout 10 months ago I ordered an HP pavilion on amazon. Without really looking up the specs I would need daily. I'm not a hardcore gamer but I really enjoy playing S4 league and Forsaken World. Well within 4 months I noticed something was wrong with the cooling fan so I kept it for a while as is. Then I sent it to HP for the warranty thing the other day. Another reason I why I decided to send it back for repairs was. The fps went from 62.5 (max fps for that game) and started spiking down to 40ish on s4 league. For the last 10 months it would get hot and loud and such but never affected my fps for anything. So while it's getting fixed I decided to look up ways to improve it. And it seems overclocking is pretty effective. They say it's not safe to overclock a laptop because it'll heat up quicker. What I was wondering was when you over clock it, and let's say the CPU is 2.4GHz and would go up to 3ghz with overclocking. Is it running at 3GHz all the time even during idol stats or simple tasks? Like basically whenever it needs more than 2.4 GHz it'll start using more? And if not then if let's say I take it to class to take notes with or surf the web. It won't heat up because it wouldn't be using 3GHz right? And let's say if I did need 3Ghz, if I use a cooling pad like the Cooler Master NotePal X2 Laptop Cooling Pad with 140mm Blue LED Fan (R9-NBC-4WAK-GP). Would it somehow help cool it down?
I'd like to know if my netbook would be overclock able or not. And if possible how exactly to achieve such an epic achievement? @_@. I'm not sure how exactly to present the specs so I'll provide the link of the laptop if that will help. If it isn't realistic at all I'll understand. I actually plan to invest on an assembled computer in a year or so. That I'll put time to study and get the best parts I can. But between now and then I only have this netbook, so I'd like to get out as much as I can off it within the year.

I have an Asus X64 desktop machine. Last year I formatted the [1 terabyte] hard drive for a clean install of X64 Windows 7 Ultimate. I tried numerous times to install the X64 Windows 7 Ultimate, but it was a no-go. I ended up installing the X86 Windows 7 Ultimate on my X64 machine instead. Since then I have corrected the problem(s) preventing me from installing the X64 Windows 7 Ultimate. So, long story short. I am duel booting two versions of Windows 7 Ultimate utilizing two partitions. I prefer the X64 as I have 8 GB's of RAM and the X86 only recognizes 4 GB's.
In addition to that I have a third partition with Windows Developer Preview. I can also boot into Ubuntu 12.4 although I did not specifically create a separate partition for that OS.
So, I'm quad-booting. I've decided to eliminate all partitions, go back to a single hard disk, and begin utilizing VMWare Workstation 8 for any and all other OS's. But my problem is I don't quite understand the MBR fully. I wish to keep my X64 Windows 7 Ultimate but it was the second OS installed behind the X86 Windows 7 Ultimate.
I guess what I am asking, "Is there a way to get the MBR to reflect the X64 Windows 7 Ultimate so that I can format and delete the partition of the first installed OS?"
Basically, I do a lot of video converting since I'm always sending movies/tv shows to devices like PS3, Playbook, Xbox and some other stuff. Most of the converters I've found support only single core CPU's and take an hour or so to convert, I was wondering if there are any conversion tools that support more than one core and would be much faster than standard converters?

I recently updated my mobo's bios and with the update I now see this "press F4 to use ACC". I have an AMD Phenom II X4 940 BE CPU. Is there any benefit to using this new function that ASUS is offering with my quad core.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI think this BSOD happened by auto CPU overclock, because otherwise I haven't done any overclocking by my self. I posted here images and even video. How can I maintain default clock and heat temperature < 50C. My CPU temperature increases usually from 35+ to 55+. And no overclock was done. CPU is AMD FX-4100 - 3.6 Ghz; Or maybe its thermal paste. Voltage is messed up, what needs to be corrected. In Bios ASUS M5A97 AM3+ Motherboard with UEFI BIOS OC Demo made easy Part1 (for my M5A97)
View 4 Replies View RelatedSo I basically want a new motherboard and CPU. I've settled pretty much on this CPU:
Amazon.com: Intel Core i7 2600K Processor 3.4 Ghz 4 Core LGA 1155 - BX80623I72600K: Electronics
But that expense starts to limit me with regards to motherboard. I essentially want the best possible stuff I can get but I would never dare overclock my stuff.I've looked at the ASUS Maximus IV Gene-Z as supposedly being the best motherboard out there... for overclockers.It being so highly rated all around draws me to it, but also hear very great things about various other ASUS types, like ASUS p8Z68 which are basically just as good as the Maximus IV Gene-Z, but without overclocking or some additional features I won't use.
So being that I basically want a computer twice as fast as my ass, what would be a good personalized recommendation for me with regards to motherboards?
I am having some issues with Windows and resuming from sleep. I have an overclock of 4.2 GHz and everything works great, but after I resume windows from sleep, the clock drops to normal Turbo Boost Ratios ranging from 3.4 to 3.8. Naturally after a restart the clock goes back to 4.2 as if nothing ever happened.
Note: I have tried Disabling various power functions in the BIOS such as EIST, C1E, etc.

I over clocked my cpu from dual core to quad core but even after complete shut down by the window, cpu fan is working, cabinet LED is still on, motherboard LED is on as there is a current.
Which is totaly unusual as everything switches off automaticaly after complete shutdown in normal cpu condition.
i want to overclock my PC and i dont know how to do it any help from PC guys out there.
