The Official OC (OverClocking) Thread!

yep thats right digimate.

 

On your monitor? I can't really make it out, a website of some kind presumably. 3dmark?

Which one's yours, the 2242W? I thought you had a 24" monitor, my mistake.

 

DIGIMATE 24" L-2442WD

 

Right - suspected as much. Why then did you link me to a page without your monitor on it? lol

Outside temperature: 22ºC (72ºF)
Inside temperature: 25ºC (77ºF)
PC temperatures:


CPU load: c. 10% for 3 1/2 hours.
GPU load: c. 2% for 3 1/2 hours.
HDD usage moderate (high speed downloads, no compression, games or defrag)

Spent ages trying to figure out why my net wouldn't upload before realising imageshack was down... lol

 

no its a pic of shaff's post where he was showing his monitor...lol

 

i did link to my monitor, bu i think it uses java to show it, so it just showed the original thing.

oh SAM i get what your saying now (cheers SAM). UNDERSTOOD, yeah was th epost i was making LOL,

 

hehe, oh well...

 

Lol, I will be once you watch that movie.

 

sup,
i guess i will work on my cable management...
i was going to remove the heatsink on the mobo and reseat them today but i am sooooooo tired right now so i will do it tomorrow...maybe
and then, i will also change the 80mm to a 120mm CM LED fan! hehe
yes Sam, it is an Ultra 500 Watt (also free.....Black Friday 2006, lol) - http://www.amazon.com/Ultra-X-Finity-ULT31845-500-Watt-Supply/dp/B000BGKIUK
i used to have a 600watt Ultra PSU but the fan in it stopped working and it died (i tried replacing the fan to no effect) soooo i thought maybe i would try the 500watt and walla...it worked! i was worried i would have to spend in excess of 300bucks just for a PSU...
i know what all of you are going to say now:
CPU - $300
Motherboard - $350
HDD - $200
GPUs - $500
Free PSU taking out your entire computer - Priceless

but......whats RMA for

-im1992

 

Heh, PSU RMAs don't cover the destroyed components, I tried that...

 

what about the manufacturers of the things?
like wouldn't ASUS cover me if the mobo were to die from a PSU dying?
-im1992

 

Possibly, depends though. I certainly wouldn't use Asus' RMA services, it'd have to be retail - no way I'm going a month without having a motherboard.

 

lol, yea

 

Before anybody gets mad, this goes for any motherboard manufacturer, not just Asus. None of them seem that quick.

 

3 weeks each time for me to get mine back from gigabyte.

not picken on ya im1992, but you have some good stuff there to lose by chanceing it with the PSU. you might wanna consider a good/better one in the future.

as sam said i doubt most places will RMA there parts cause of a faulty PSU.

 

well i will keep looking for a good deal on a PSU...i want an 1100 watt so it lasts me at least 2 builds (about 4 years in my case...)
thats the main reason for me not upgrading....i dont wanna buy a 750 watt today, and then a year later buy a 1100watt...
-im1992

 

Eh?
And to think I was having words with shaffaaf about needing a 750W PSU!
Seriously mate, anything that requires 1100W of power or anywhere near it will need a massive case with piles of fans to cool it, that's a ridiculous amount of power. No gaming PC should ever need more than 500W. Mine at the moment doesn't even use 200W DC, and can score five figures in 3dmark.
If you must have a vast PSU, then get a Corsair HX 1000W. It is all you will ever need. Quad crossfire, triple SLI, the lot.

 

do you think my PSU is enough for my hardware?
thanks,
