New Linux Undervolting/OC'ing for AMD CPU's
I thought this might interest folks in this forum: The TurionPowerControl program supports both under-volting and over-clocking of AMD CPUs. Currently supported by this program are AMD K8L (11h) and K10 (10h) CPUs, which includes the Turion RM, Turion ZM, Phenom, Phenom II, and Athlon II brands. Ori...

Either place you mount the fan probably won't get too much air over the GPU (but it may be enough). The ATX design makes it hard to get air to that area. Some other ideas include using zip ties to tie a fan to the hard disk cage or you could just rest the fan on the bottom of your case by the GPU, a...

I'd suggest the Asus VH242H as an alternative monitor. It's 23.6", ideal for gaming, has consistently received good reviews on Newegg, and can be purchased from Amazon.co.uk for just over £187 at the moment. The Dell monitor use an IPS panel, whereas the Asus one uses a TN panel. TN panels are che...

Based on this: http://www.anandtech.com/mb/showdoc.aspx?i=3615&p=3 , I would go with a 785G board with DDR3 and sideport memory.

Sorry to hear your frustration. :( I just got one of these drives and I love it. It is quieter than my Spinpoint HD321KJ, and much quieter than my old WD 2500KS (RIP). I'm curious as to the manufacture date and model# on your drive. In the review, the label of the SCPR drive says "Model: HD502HI/Y" ...

Advice Needed for Home/Office Build
I'm packing up my essential possessions and moving soon, so I wanted to build a micro ATX rig to give me a little more room in my car. I used to be a frequent poster on these forums, but I've been really into Debian/Ubuntu/GNU Linux lately, so I have not had the time to read up on my silencing compo...

To get good dynamic undervolting in Linux, you need to roll your own kernel and modify the powernow-k8 module source

In the nsk 4480 there are silicon mounts for the harddisks ... so that's not the issue. also the samsung disk is not a noisy one. Silicon mounts aren't enough to damp the vibration from modern drives. Put your hand next to where you hard disk resides and see if you can feel any vibration. BTW, the ...

The 2x1GB of G.Skill I mentioned in the first post says 1.8~2.0v according to G.Skill and Newegg. Does that mean it will run fine at 1.8v or am I better off going for the value RAM such as that Adata set (ignore the small cost difference)? The G.Skill kit should be set to run and POST at 1.8V.

Hi! Welcome to SPCR. RAM: Do not settle for 1 GB with 2GB kit prices so low. I built a PC for my mom (who used to do e-mail and basic browsing on the old P3) and found that once I gave her a fast computer, she started to do more with it (pictures, lots of web video content, etc.) This kit will work ...

You can never have enough cache, but it can be pricey, as you can see. $80 for 2MB of cache seems a little steep to me, but not completely unreasonable. I think we're comparing the wrong processors here. Why consider the older, overpriced E6600 when you can get an E6550 that runs at nearly the same...

The answer for both is stability. When the PD's came out with TDP's over 100W, the 8-pin CPU was added. It's not necessary unless you have a CPU that draws over 100W (i.e. original Pentium D or quad core). Intel used to have a doc on it at their site, but I can't find it. And the 4-pin Molex near th...
