Rig specifications? Or at least mobo/cpu combo..

Ok, for my board the current newest BIOS is the AwardBIOS 3.8. I'm pretty sure that since I bought my motherboard almost a year ago, I have an older BIOS.

So does flashing in a new BIOS affect...

Ok, I'm thinking of taking some ducting, putting one side against an open window with a mesh thing, the other end to my side intake fan.

So, how safe is this? I'm pretty sure that it will suck...

Well, to be completely ignorant: what's SSE? :confused:


Now, I think I'll just pop in the new chip, have it run for about 48 hours. Then, I'll overclock it. Then if things aren't stable, I'll...

Ok, when going from one CPU to another, say an 1800+ to 2500+ Barton, is it necessary to reinstall Windows?

Only the CPU and RAM are replaced. Nothing else.

Thanks

BUMP!

Good recent reviews don't mean anything. Their reputation as a good company is non existent. It's all negative things. Corsair, on the other hand, has been all good. Always. Plus, since you're...

Hmm, you guys sure?

Will the trick when you replace the wpa.dbl file work? Since the Windows license sticker says 2CPU, will the CD be rendered useless after I use the barton?

I shall be getting some new hardware into my PC soon, specifically: 2500+ and PC3200. Hence, windows reinstall and format are to be done also.

Now, how should I go about this order-wise? I was...

Well, my case doesn't have air circulation. Just a constant bombardment of cold air coming from the inside.

In fact, if I take off a cd slot cover, I can feel cold(er) air coming out. :D

EDIT:...

Er...

I think your friend is too weak. I mean, it's not like you lift it up an down all the time, you just push it along.

Tell him to try to clean the mouse feet, and washing the mousepad with...

Hmm, my case isn't the biggest nor is it a very good case cooling wise (Apex TU-150), after adding a 120mm side intake fan, my temps dropped about 8 degrees celsius. Sure, the air flow is all screwed...

Overclocking laptops is basically non existent. The cooling on laptops is so weak, even the slightest temperature increase can start frying things.

Here's one:

Basically you only really need fast RAM for overclocking. You won't notice a performance difference between, say, PC3200 and PC4000.
