[stickybun]

Hi
Any kind soul out there willing to check\walkthrough set up of system.

I have the oc's 'argon' i3 550 gigabyte system 4Gb ram. arctic freezer cooler
3.20GHz @4.0GHz.
Asus Xonar DX. Seagate Barracuda HDD. Windows 7.

It's built and up and running, had a couple of auto-restarts, where there was a brief message about overclocking....though it was too quick to take in.

Thanks in advance

Hi Ginger
Ok, I have an Msi 460GTX 1Gb, Pioneer DVD\RW and Enermax 400ATW Liberty.
I know the power could be higher, that's my next upgrade, though it runs 2x 12v rails (360w-30A).
The most stress it gets is 3\4 hrs gameplay.

When I set up, all was well, after installing software (windows, antivirus, internet etc.) after a re install, my mouse was sluggish,I found a rouge driver, (sound card) thought I'd delt with it, had a crash hr or so later and got a red warning about overclocking, that the system was running hobbled.
I went to bios, poked around, found the oc,s cmos? setting and installed it,saved, rebooted.
That sounded a lot easier to do than it was, (ok, for a noob in there)
I was hoping to go through the settings page by page to make sure I did'nt disturb anything I shouldnt.
E.g after I entered bios, there were some red type sections one regarding the cpu at a 100% setting max......this was at 101%.?
thanks

Not so lucky ,wth the power supply loan.

I'm looking at the oc's 650w modular job at mo. what do you think? £50ish http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-046-OC
Do you think the plugs into the power unit will be the same as the enermax ?
Save having to re-do all that lovely tidy cable (took ages)

Ran f.e.a.r. game at full everything for 3 hrs no probs.....infact I could'nt keep up.
Had two install probs audio....resolved
tune up pack......uninstalled
