No, it only allows the 6x or 8x.

Check if the Core Voltage in CPU Z is the same as it is in bios?

CPU Z and what the system properties say, don't match up at all...

How do you get programs such as speedfan to work correctly with a dell? i have three dells, 2 desktops and a laptop and none will show more than 1 temperature.

@emosun: build me a new pc instead?

i'll pay for the shipping of it

do you buy your crt's new or get them from people who are disposing of them?

well thats just it. The way this was a progressive build, the operating system STILL thinks that this is a factory dell because i ran the dell operating system/origional hard drive with the aftermarket builds and still am, so i'm using the origional factory dell operating system on the non dell system, it doesnt know that though (and I ghosted the OS to the factory dell and it still runs).

BIOS has the CPU voltage set to 1.35625 volts. coretemp has the more correct stats.

ok i checked BIOS, it's set at an 8 multiplier but cpuz is only recognizing as 6, i set it as 384 by 8 to get 3 true GHz but CPU-Z doesnt match.

but by the nature of the beast, i'll load it down and see if it switches up.

figure this out if you would... (click thumbnail for screenshot)

I would personally then set the multiplier at 8x and keep the FSB at 366MHz for a speed of 2.93GHz.

I get them either from people who are throwing em away or I find them in storage or rummage sales. the two im using on my main pc iv'e had for years now. maybe 3 or 4 years. gone through like ten computers but only used those two monitors. lol . what are you talking about building a pc and shipping?

**oddball2910** · 01-06-2008, 07:34 PM

are they all in pretty decent shape, or are some hitting the end of their life?

you said you'll build a new comp for that 5th monitor, so go ahead, and i'll take it off your hands for you

**emosun** · 01-06-2008, 07:44 PM

They all actually work just fine , one of the main ones on the bottom has a "video game" button on it and makes the screen brightness go up to a perfect level so you can see dark areas in games, its neat. And the pc i'll probly make for the extra monitor wont be exactly great , don't think you would want it. Would be happy to make you a nice computer if you pay for it lol.

like i said i got it at 384 by 8 right now, the programs are just all reporting different values. Just going from 375 to 384 MHZ jumped the idle temps about 2C.

**ashumann12** · 01-07-2008, 01:26 PM

Just got new skin for my laptop! (They spelled techsupportforum with an "s")

**forcifer** · 01-07-2008, 03:05 PM

nice. can we get a bigger pic though?

**oddball2910** · 01-07-2008, 03:07 PM

@Magnethead: try futzing with the core voltages? my cpu was running upwards of 54C until i upped the voltage to 1.232V where it is now, and now it never crosses 45C. (sound peculiar to me, yet it worked)

nice Ashumann

I'll get a picture of mine up tomorrow, can't find my camera :( .

Specs are:
Intel Q6600 Core 2 Quad (Cooling is Scythe infinity with the fan that came with it)
Albatron 8800GT (680 core 2000 memory - cooling is an HR-03-GT with a Silverstone FN-91 on it)
Asus P5K3
Corsair DDR3 1333MHz
Corsair 620W PSU
Antec 900 Case

Temps are as follows: (Load temps are while playing Crysis 1360x768, everything on Very High, and during 3dMark06 test)
CPU Idle: 22 Degrees C
CPU Load: 27 Degrees C

GPU Idle: 33 Degrees C
GPU Load: 39 Degrees C

Can't get a good pic 'cos of light reflections.

nice dude looks sweet :)

**ashumann12** · 01-07-2008, 05:45 PM

Thanks, but freddyhard of the design team deserves the credit. I just asked if I could put it on a skin. I think it looks cool.
