Well, there goes that idea.

At it's stock 2.4ghz I'd imagine it would bottleneck crossfired 4850's, but not a single.

What temp is my Q8200?

No, the Vcore drops under full load. At idle it's at 1.264v, under 100% load it drops to 1.216v. I think I read somewhere my motherboard has some sort of anti-V-droop setting...guess I'll have to read up on it.

What temp is my Q8200?

Hey, just wanted to post a screenshot...I'm excited, this is my first real overclock. Screenshot The hottest core hit 56c and the coolest 49c with a 100% Prime95 load. Though I'm curious, how much V-droop* is normal? Before I stopped Prime95 it was at 1.216v and it's now at 1.264v.

What temp is my Q8200?

Thanks for the replies. How hot is too hot for a 45nm quad? The Intel website shows my Q8200's thermal spec at 71.4c. With help from the GIGABYTE Forum Moderator "Lsdmeasap" at TweakTown.com, it's sitting at 49-55c @ 100% load across all the cores (using RealTemp) running Prime95...

Motherboard from eBay?

The board is $100 on newegg...and I'm cheap, but motherboards seem much more prone to gremlins than any other part of a new build. The board is sold through mwave.com's eBay account as new. Should I save $16 or just from newegg?

Q8200 overlocking?

6x? That sucks. I really wouldn't mind a 3.0-3.2ghz e8200 over a 3.8-4.0ghz e8400. The Gigabyte UD3P is supposed to be the best OC'ing board in it's price range and I already have an s1283 and 8gb of newer ddr2-800 Ballistix on the way (it was cheap, hopefully good quality). I just...

Q8200 overlocking?

I game and do some photo/video editing/encoding. I was going to buy the e8400 but I can get the Q8200 for the same price. Either CPU will be paired with the Gigabyte UD3P. I know the Q8200 has only a 7x multiplier, but I would be happy with a 3ghz quad. Do you think the Q8200 and...

Need a new motherboard and Intel CPU...

I've been waiting for "Cyber Monday"...but are the deals really going to be that good? With Live cashback at 30% on eBay I can get a new Gigabyte UD3P/e7200 for $170'ish, or the UD3P/e8400 or Q8200 for $205. Do you think there will be better deals on Monday?

$307 EVGA GTX 280 SCC

The best deal I've seen for a GTX 280, no less the factory SCC model (Super Super Clocked). You need an eBay/paypal account. 1 - sign up for a live.com account 2 - sign up for the live search cashback program which gives you 25% cashback on certain eBay purchases with paypal. 3 - sign...

which LCD for 8800GT?

A 1680x1050 model. I'm ashamed to say I was still using a flat 17" CRT until a few days ago. It was fine with my 7600gt but I got a great deal on a 9800gtx (not+) a few months ago, which pushed 1280x1024 maxed with AA/AF easy in most games. Then I came across an off-brand 22" 1680x1050 for...

Changed cases and clean XP install = no audio.

Thanks, you just saved me $20 for a replacement sound card :D I don't ever remember there being jumpers on the audio header...luckily I had an old sub-2.0ghz P4/mobo lying around I yanked the jumpers off of. But this case that I transplanted it into doesn't have front audio ports...so the...
