Don't look for the Clawhammer at least try for the San Diego or Venice. Also all onboard sensors for mobos are terrible off.
You know we're talking about CPUs :huh: Phix overclocking will increase the heat output of your CPU though very small increments will not affect the heat output significantly nor will you notice any performance boost, but increasing the clock in large increments will produce a more noticable heat output. Think of it as if you walk you dont sweat too much, but if you start running as fast as you can you'll start to sweat more. So the hard the CPU works the more heat it produces ^_^ <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE("XMasterX")</div> Right like master says AMD chips a have an efficient architechture which therefore allows it to handle commands more efficiently and the length of the date pipelines affect efficiency, Intel chips have a longer pipeline to proccess more commands per a cycle but takes longer to clean up after itself if it makes a mistake so they have to compensate with a higher clock speed, while AMD chips have a shorter pipeline which doesnt allow as many commands to be excecuted per a cycle but allows a quicker cleanup time. CPUs pretty much have to quest what commands are to be excecuted so if there quest is correct it moves on but if it stuffs up it has to clean up and start over all of this happens very quickly but a small mistake results in the pipeline being flushed and the CPU starts over. Hope I explain well enough ^_^
i think you just about summed it up... thanks. I wasn't exactly sure about the pipline stuff, but moving from Intel to AMD was the best thing I ever did, even if it was a Socket A...
No that is wrong. The only reason why cpus get hotter when overclocking is because of an increase in volts. if you overclock 200mhz without raising the vcore you will experience no heat increase. Spectre257 thanks for explaining that as it has always confused me. heh you learn something new every day. And as for looking for an upgrade namrac. Dont bother with a hammer core as they are old, use the 120nm process thus requirering more volts and heat up lots. I would actually look at a x2 3800+ if i were you.
No worries Defuzion always glad to share my knowledge ^_^ Correct me if Im wrong but I hear that Intel has upgraded to 60nm manufacturing process which means more power effeciency ^_^ One problem is that silicone can only be "squashed" so small before it becomes "unstable" I saw this on Catalyst (on ABC for all of those who live in Australia) they say that you can only minimize silicone to a cetain size before you hit a limit, the future apparently rests with carbon which is cheap, plentyful and can be made smaller than silicone. Anywho I'm kinda looking forward to the future of quantum computing But I'll miss the electronic computer I also hear that Intel has released a "proper" duel core solution :huh:
I was, but I was also hoping to use my step-up from eVGA and grab a 6800GS, which would cost me $115 and would have to be before April 13th... So I dunno what I'm doing yet. I'll figure it out eventualy, and thanks (for now and in advance) for answering all my questions.
Sometimes, I hear that overclocking an Intel processor can be too risky. I have never overclocked anything in my whole life (and never will).
I have, I think I fried the CPU Still for some weird reason it still works ^_^ Oddly enough certain Intel chips are quite overclockable but I'd say AMD is better. I hear that Opteron server chips are multiplier unlocked
It's not that much cheaper, just the US dollar is worth more than an Aussie dollar or Canadian dollar. (not sure where you're from)
They have, but its only as effiecient has amds 90nm at the moment. Yeah parts over here in aus only cost 5-8% more in relation to the USA with exchange rates and other costs factored in if you shop at the right places (MSY) you an see less and almost on par.
For one thing you want a Liquid Cooling System with gauge panel to put in the slot where cd roms can go and learn and i mean learn alot about it and becareful doesnt matter if your computer is on a warrenty if your computer gest fried from overcoming it they'll know and you wont get a new one unless you pay for it
Water cooling has allway been a risky cooling option unless you using a Novec based liquid which is non-conductive but you'll be forced to see you kidneys to buy that stuff from 4M :huh:
Thats was the dumbest think I heard about watecooling. You don't need it to overclock. Also you sure as hell don't need the ----ty Guage Panel. Go to Xtremesystems or Link Force Corner or Hardware Asylum and learn.
