Successful OC of i7 920 but...

My p6t deluxe v2 wouldn't sleep OC'd until the latest bios update (0504), which fixed the issue. So, if you haven't updated, please do so. It's so much nicer when you come back to your computer and it isn't stuck in "zombie mode" when you wake it.

Transfering Data off a MacBook Hard Drive?

There are no jumpers, it's just a plain jane sata 2.5" hard drive. I put my drive in this enclosure. http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16817347013 It allows me to plug it into other computers with either usb or firewire and is bus powered, so not wall wart is needed. Once you...

Upgrading iMac G5 20" Superdrive - anyone done it?

You could put in a third party drive, like one from MCE if you find the pricing on the Apple drive too salty. The drive is also likely faster. http://mcetech.com/imacg5dvdr8dl.html To open the G5 iSight, you remove the memory bay cover, then take out the four hex screws along the bottom...

Good notebook HD?

WD Black 320GB 7200RPM http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16822136280 It looks like all three commonly available 320GB 7200rpm drives (WD, Hitachi, Seagate) are blazing fast and fairly power efficient though. Toms Hardware (I know...blasphemy) has a writeup on it and several other...

Can E6300 BSEL work?

e6300 is already 1066 fsb, so you can't do the e4300 800->1066 fsb bsel mod. A bsel mod to 1333 may be possible, depending on your motherboard (whether it supports bsel modded cpus or not). Since your board looks be be decent, I see no reason to do a bsel mod. Bsel mod is for boards that...

GA-G31M-S2L and E7200

Normally I would say "it should work, but it just might not be fully supported," but on some of the gigabytes, they seem to only work with cpus that the bios recognizes. For example, I have the g31m-s2l and if I bsel mod my e4300 to 1066fsb it will not even post since the specs don't match what...

Build your own SSD drive

I tried a sata to CF adapter in my macbook pro with a 233x card, but performance was abysmal. The card had fast reads (35MB/s), but the write speeds were so terrible that I couldn't stand to use it. On small files I was getting write speeds that measure in KB/s instead of MB/s! Maybe with a...

Got my first Mac (Pro) any tips?

OS X is easy to install, easier than windows IMO, but if you get stuck, there are a lot of guides online that you could read. Apple's guide is pretty good, here's the direct link. http://manuals.info.apple.com/...pard_Install-Setup.pdf You don't need a cd key for the os. :) If you wanted...

BSEL Mod Questions

I used "quick grid" rear window defogger repair paint. It worked well, but was kind of tedious to tape off the area and apply. I think I saw some guy cut a small piece of aluminum foil in a "V" shape and super glued the tip of the v to the empty area beside the pads on the cpu. FWIW

Core 2 Duo (2.2 & 2.4)

Here's a bench that includes the 2.4 and 2.2 Santa Rosa cpus, from the macbook pro. http://www.barefeats.com/rosa02.html Not that big of a difference IMO.

Dell Dimension 2300 questions

My Dimension 2300's retention clip broke as well. I replaced it with this heatsink. http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16835110013 I like that it does away with the crappy plastic retention bracket completely. The downside is you have to remove the motherboard to install the new...
