I purchased an OCZ 700W. First unit had a fan that was clicky and generated a good amount of wind noise. RMA'd the unit for a replacement. The second unit had equal amount of wind noise... I run 2 Yate Loons at 5v and 1 Yate Loon at 12v (triple rad) and a single 120mm quiet exhaust fan (so...
Played WoW for a year. Lvls 1-59 were fun. Instances to me were a thrilling experience. Learning Molten Core with an inexperienced but fun guild all the way to Rag was a hell of a trip. BWL is where fun died and dramafests, greed came to play. AQ nailed the coffin.
Initially I took a...
I've reinstalled Windows XP on different harddrives to see if something was wrong with it but it doesnt seem to be the problem. I only sprayed the chemical for a split second but everything came crashing down after that incident. I also air cleaned the PSU but I did not make a mistake on that...
I've been having weird issues ever since May and I suspect its the mobo but I would like to get some feedback from much more intelligible minds on possible solutions.
Long version with details:
1) System ran fine for 3 months. I decided to canned air blast the dust off all my components...
I have a 3500+ Newcastle that barely tops 2.5Ghz which is like a whopping 15%OC. I underclock memory so that really isnt the issue and I lowered my LDT/HTT to 4x.
No matter how much voltage I push into my chip, it will never top 2.52Ghz. I have zero issues with temps since I W/C. Currently...
The item comes with a 3 to 4pin adapter. It has 4 extensions which you connect your heatsinkfan to. Two of them are low speed, and the other two are full speed. There is no program, and it does not adjust automatically. You have to plug into the speed desired and thats it. Great cooler btw
But there's the awesome sensation after enduring the blazing heat playing ball where you enter a convenience store or a Wendys with air conditioner on full blast and they're serving Frosties. We are not crazy, we likes the heat
Whew, got a heatwave of 78F. OK so its not exactly a heatwave but its normal summertime temperatures and it was 58F two days ago. Never cared about temps til I started clocking this winter. All my temperatures increased across the boards by 4C. Now if a real heatwave was to occur where it hit...
whoa... I hit 52C on Prime95 with a 3500+ at 1.7V 2.64Ghz, same setup as yours minus the DD accelerator nozzle. Im not worried because stock cooling at stock clocks hits 54C. You have very low temps :D
Im having the same issues here with a 3500+ that refuses anything above 2.5ghz
As soon as I try to play a game it restarts but it can go on churning prime95 for a long time
Omega Drivers dropped my scores before but I forgot how much. Also the proc seems to matter a lot. My 3500+ at 2.2Ghz scores 4700~ while at 2.5Ghz scores 5850~
I put my ear to the fans and they are the source. However I cannot test it now because that fan controller's header blew up on me. Wires burnt to a crisp, finger electrocuted, electric smoke everywhere (awful smell). There were no fans connected to it at the time this particular event happened...
