Hey, don't you take the credit now! :p

Let's make that title a little more informative eh?

Welcome to the forums stevorh. I've moved this thread to the correct area - take note for future topics. You might want to check out the sticky...

Quite simple really - don't overclock that far again! The high pitched noise you heard may well have been a temperature warning from the PC's BIOS. Was it a mechanical noise or something from the PC...

You NEED thermal paste. Metal on metal is not an efficient means of heat transfer!

Here's an application guide (http://www.arcticsilver.com/arctic_silver_instructions.htm).

The motherboard should have a CMOS clear jumper (check the manual or download one). Unplug the PC from the mains and the motherboard from the PSU, then swap the jumper across. Leave for 5 seconds,...

I'm thinking it's the video card as well. The 9200 is very much at the bottom of the ladder in terms of 3D performance - it's based on technology which originally competed with the Geforce 3. 128Mb...

Does it stay "on" or just completely shut down after a short period of time?

You don't want help?!?!
Doom 3 can slow to a crawl when entering certain areas (e.g. finding a monster), regardless of system specs, but this can be alleviated with some config file tweaks.
No....

Point Six: A lot can happen in a computer-tech month. Check back with us in December. ;)

Today's CPUs are not stressed much when burning (being so bloody fast). If you were encoding a movie or some music, then yes, it would make a difference.
You'd only notice a performance drop if you...

Note that the system information utility supplied with Windows is actually rather limited in the information it provides (much like DxDiag really). If you're after clockspeeds and comprehensive...

Read the thread I linked to a little more carefully - it's actually about a hardware reporting utility.

Miss the thread (http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/thread12674.html) sitting at the top of this forum? ;)

Initially, AMD was making chips for Intel! But yes, after setting out on their own, they did make CPUs for the socket 7 format (K5s). They then moved into super socket 7, before utilising the EV-6...

What the reviewer classes as "loud" may be perfectly acceptable to your ears.

That's what I said. See your other topic for more advice on this feature (might help to keep everything in one topic...

That case comes with 2 80mm fans.

Note that the 9200SE is currently one of the slowest video cards on the market, and nowhere near the minimum required for acceptable performance with the latest...

Quick correction - hypertransport is not the onboard memory controller found on Athlon 64 CPUs. It is basically a new type of front side bus - the main data "highway" on a motherboard. It offers high...

I suggest you drop that belief ASAP - it's quite outdated! In fact, you've got it the wrong way round. Intel's P4/Prescott is good for media and AMD's A64 is good for gaming!

Still don't believe...

The type of RAM won't impact much on gaming performance (and you are buying all of this for games right?). The ValueSelect you picked out certainly isn't the best out there though. The low latency...
