Don't know what any of this means but,I know you do??

play a little with this

test latency of your ram not cpu

[jblitz277]

Ya I am really strugling with Vista core temps says 37c is that okay at idle?It's blowing cold air out not hot

[Chewy]

sounds great, core temp is very accurate and that temp shows you got a good fit on the HSF, wait till you crank all four cores up and run them close to max for 20-30 minutes, the temp should climb into the 50's, redline is 70C for that CPU

with that monster HSF you'll have to overclock to get even close to that?

[jblitz277]

How can I use more processor? Can you tell me how to set static ip in Vista?

[jblitz277]

My ram on that everest came back 5-5-5-31 that can't be right???

[Chewy]

always crosscheck with something like cpu-z

[jblitz277]

ya 5-5-5-31 did I get robbed?.I got the ocz platnium supposed to be 4-4-4-15 or maybe do I not have them running right? Vista shows 2 gb so there are installed in right slots and they come up Dual channel?

[Chewy]

the first commandment, know thy bios, I downloaded my manual and started reading it before ordering the motherboard and that was after 2 weeks of research finding the right
mobo to overclock and then it took a couple more weeks figuring it all out


Rome was not built in a day

if this stuff was easy, HP,Dell etc would go out of business

[jblitz277]

neither was this computer that fan was tough .Thanks for all your help .Can you tell me how to get to ipconfig in Vista

[Chewy]

that's your second vista question, I would have gone with XP myself

maybe server 2003 for dual quad cores

but never vista

post in the vista subforum, there are a few people there who are working to get vista up to xp's standards

[jblitz277]

No Vista is not a deffinite here I have XP pro on the self but,I got a legal copy of Vista Ultimate the total package for free from a good friend so I'm just giving it a go.

[Chewy]

well at least you have the hardware to handle it tho I would want 64 bit and 4 gigs of ram

[jblitz277]

Ok Vista might be dead,it won't let me install my BenQ1655 and it gives me hardware probs.Hey Chewy or anyone who knows any of these good dl burners http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...me=Top+Sellers



sorry edit I mean the sata ones the model numbers are all so unfamilair.I've been reading reviews for hours and I'm tired any one here have any of those sata burners?

[Chewy]

let's not blame this one on vista, how did you install the OS? from a usb stick or a floppy drive?

2nd time dwnld your manual

well at least your southbridge does the pata

is everything set right in bios pg 84-85, lot of stuff
