• HP ProLiant G6 Server SE316M1: Overclocking CPU on HP ProLiant G6 Server SE316M1

  Hello

  I have in mind to buy a HP ProLiant G6 Server SE316M1. The prices are really cheap on some merchants.

  I saw on a cue that it was possible to overlock Xeon E5645 2.40 Ghz.

  Of course I need stability, but I hope to accelerate both CPU up to 2.80 Ghz.

  I don't think it's possible, but I prefer to ask the community.

  Thank you very much.

  Hello:

  Here is the manual in the BIOS Setup for the prospective server that you want to buy.

  http://h20628.www2.HP.com/km-ext/kmcsdirect/emr_na-c00191707-19.PDF

  I typed the word "overclock" in the search window, and nothing came.

  Here is the main support for the server page...

  http://h20565.www2.HPE.com/portal/site/hpsc/public/PSI/home/?sp4ts.Oid=3884343

  While I have not read the manual in its entirety, nor I know much about HP servers, I usually have a good amount of knowledge about laptops and HP business desktops and I can tell you that none of them offer overclocking processor, graphics and memory options.

  I have to assume that since HP must provide assistance guaranteed at least one year on most of these products (mine all had them 3 years warranty), it would not be in their interest to provide for overclocking options in their PC, because we, end-users could fry components due to overclocking and then to file claims under the warranty.

• Overclock CPU and GPU

  I want to know if is it possible to UNLOCK a new CPU or GPU for my laptop.

  I have a HP PAVILION DV7-7004SL, with 8 GB of RAM, intel core i5 - 2450M, nVidia GT 630 M, 17' inches.

  If I do overclock, I have every chance to unlock something? Maybe a low version of i7?

  * And on the subwoofer of beats, dosen't works with Windows 8.1?

  * Thanks in advance.

  If it is not broken don't fix it. The BIOS file itself will not harm to the laptop, but from time to time the process flash runs short and the laptop brick. This is less a problem it has been since Windows 8 and diagnostics of modern equipment, but still, unless you are having a specific problem, the new BIOS is designed to fix I would be in no hurry to do so.

• Overclocking CPU and RAM upgrades!

  Hello, first of all thanks for the beautiful vostro 230 desktop I bought it its been 3 years. Not a single problem with it. Its good for the last year, but now a day I am not satisfied of its speed and reliability. Lack of funds, I can just build or buy a new desktop computer, so I was wondering if I can overclock the processor to make my pc faster.
  So here are my questions:

  1. can I overclock the precessor of VOSTRO 230 pc (Intel core 2 duo E7500 2.93 Ghz processor)? If yes how?

  2. I want to improve my RAM. I know that the maximum support for vostro 230 is 4 GB. But I do not understand that it supports 4 GB single slot or 2 GB in slot double? What is the value maximum frequency this motherboard supports?

  Please help me with this problem. I look forward to your response... response as soon as POSSIBLE...

  Thank you

  Lenora Patra

  Sorry to say, the Vostro 230 cannot be overclocked.

  The maximum RAM supported, is 4 GB (2 x 2 GB modules).

  Hello!

  Can someone tell if it is safe to overclock CPU 6700 k in Aurora r5 with liquid cooling unit that is shipped by Dell? If so, is it all win in speed of the system and game performance? I know that Dell them factory overclocks to 4.2 GHz, but it could be overclocked up to 4.6 GHz. No experience or advice to share?

• Missing BIOS settings Satellite C660

  Hey everybody,

  I use my Satellite C660 Notebook for some productions of music and I try to get my extern Interface Audio Presonus working. Everything is fine so far except some occasional crackling sounds in the audio interface. After correction of some things in Windows 7 which have been recommended by tech support PreSonus these noises were still there.
  Tech support then gave me the following advice:

  + "There is some power options that can be changed in your BIOS that can be the cause of the noise you are experiencing. +

  + CPU settings section - Intel SpeedStep is set to normal. +
  + CPU - Turbo in normal not turbo mode settings section. +
  + Settings section CPU (if any) - CPU operation Mode will be 3 settings, Normal, fast, Extreme (?). Set it to 'Normal ' +.

  + Power Settings:-C1E Support +.
  + Power Settings:-C3E Support (if it is there).

  + Save the BIOS and reboot. +

  + Generally overclocking the processor as the iSeries can cause the CPU power to fluctuate causing problems with noise on audio devices, is a new discovery and we write a FAQ which will be available on our knowledge base may have a detailed description on the reasons why this happens on overclocking CPU. +

  "+ Make sure that the overclocking settings have been set to normal. +

  * For the first time I entered the BIOS to see that neither of these settings can be made on this Toshiba Satellite c660.*

  Or can they be somehow still made? Are there tools, programs,...?

  I hope someone can help me with this. Thank you.

  Hello

  If the parameters are not available in the BIOS, you will not be able to change or appear in the BIOS.

  Phoenix BIOS would be used by different manufacturers, but the BIOS is always modified by manufacturer and configured for each series of laptop.
  This is why the special parameters are not always available in every BIOS.

  I read in the forum of presonus on crackling using processors dual core.
  A guy could solve this by using a different USB port.

  Then maybe you should test all available USB ports.

  Another option might be the use external USB hub connected outside power source now quite sure if it would help to get rid of these noises but its worth a test.

  Last but not least you could test this with adapter connected and disconnected

• Fatal blue screen need help

  Hello to the members of my community, I was literately at my wits end with this problem without fatal end of the SCREEN as well as ongoing nightmares with crashing, missing files, spyware and the inability to run a boot image and own factory installation. I was being sent into circles by Microsoft and Dell, my Dell XPS One A2010 bought directly at the factory with a pre installed Windows Vista Home Premium it was all good, well except for a faulty on these models fan, but not current pop ups, emphasizing the fact that the same Windows Vista I paid for by Dell when I bought my PC was know not valid. I can't do the security updates, my computer crashes, lost files, the amount of data and a ton of time troubleshooting this issue now underway at least 2 months. I contacted both Microsoft and Dell only to be sent in circles, they say that it is the responsibility of the manufacturer and Dell has a good point that everything was fine until the part of the service pack updates through Windows Update as urgent and potentially dangerous, unless that downloaded to protect my safety and performance on my PC with VISTA! I'm ready to pull my hair, I'm not even an online base w/o application level of spyware, virus, remote access, missing or damaged files and my favorite of all the SCREEN actually FATAL BLUE I have upward all night tried to solve this problem. Is it possible at the start of my old software from my last PC, Windows XP PRO sp1, I'm so tired of having one bad thing after another, I'm on someone elses laptop writing this post and I can't do the repairs in the factory image, I have no disk and I can't AFFORD to JUST RUN OUT to BUY UPGRADES. NOT TO MENTION THE FRUSTRATION OF FAILURE FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. PLEASE SOMEONE... Help! Thank you, K

  Hello

  All attached files of the DMP are the error checking VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE (116) .

  Before going into that, c:\windows\system32\drivers\sptd.sys is in your list of drivers loaded. It comes from the pass through Direct host SCSI - Daemon Tools (BSOD problems with Win7). Uninstall this driver with the following tool-

  http://www.duplexsecure.com/downloads/

  If the above is not enough, the basic definition of a bugcheck 0 x 116 is:

  There may be a bug in the video driver or video material.

  So I would now explain what means VIDEO_TDR_ERROR. Firstly, TDR is an acronym for Timeout detection and recovery. Detection time and recovery was introduced in Vista and carried over to Windows 7. Rather than exactly what detection time and recovery did exactly, I'll just quote the MSDN article!

  Timeout detection:

  Planner of the GPU, which is part of the DirectX Graphics kernel subsystem (Dxgkrnl.sys), detects that the GPU takes more than the amount of time to perform a particular task. The GPU scheduler then attempts to anticipate on this particular task. Preempt is a timeout 'wait', which is the actual time of TDR. This step is the detection of delay of the process phase. The period of default timeout in Windows Vista and later versions is 2 seconds. If the GPU cannot complete or anticipate the current task period TDR, the diagnostic operating system that the GPU is frozen.
  To avoid detection of timeout to occur, hardware vendors should ensure that graphics operations (i.e. buffer DMA completion) will not take more than 2 seconds in scenarios such as productivity and the game to the end user.

  Preparation for recovery:

  The operating system GPU Scheduler calls the function DxgkDdiResetFromTimeout of the miniport driver of the display to inform the driver that the operating system detected a timeout. The pilot must then resets and reset the GPU. In addition, the driver must stop access to memory and go not material. The operating system and the driver collect material and other State information that might be useful for post-mortem diagnosis.

  Recovery of funds:

  The operating system resets the State appropriate graphics stack. The video memory manager, which is also part of Dxgkrnl.sys, serving all allocations of video memory. The miniport display driver resets the State of the GPU hardware. The graphics stack takes the final steps and restores the receptive office. As mentioned previously, some older DirectX applications could make only in black at the end of this recovery, which requires the user to restart these applications. Well-written 9Ex, DirectX and DirectX 10 and subsequent applications which manage peripheral technology delete continue to function correctly. An application must release and then recreate the Direct3D device and all the objects in the device. For more information on how get the DirectX applications, see the Windows SDK.

  Article here.

  That being said, if the detection time and recovery fails to retrieve the display driver, it will then pull the bugcheck 0 x 116. There are many different things that can cause a 0 x 116, which I'll explain below:

  The following hardware problems may cause a TDR event:

  1 unstable overclock (CPU, GPU, etc.). Return any overclocks to stock settings.

  2 bad sector in memory, resulting in corrupted data is communicated between the GPU and system (memory video, otherwise known as VRAM or physical memory, also called RAM).

  RAM test: Memtest86 +.

  3 corrupt hard drive or install Windows / OS install resulting in corruption in the registry or the page file.

  (b) follow the steps along the (and including) the reset.

  In the black window that opens, type "SFC. EXE/scannow"(without the quotes) and press ENTER.

  Let the program run and after return what he says when it's done.

  -Overheating of the CPU or GPU and or other elements can cause 0 x 116 bugs. Monitor your temperature and ensure that the system is sufficiently cooled.

  -GPU failure. Whether the heat, power (PSU) issue, lack of VRAM, etc..

  The following software issues can cause a TDR event:

  -Incompatible drivers of any kind (two GPU, sound, etc)

  -Messy registry / corrupted

  -DirectX bad files (uninstall and reinstall DirectX)

  -bad system files (System File Checker - has been run on it)

  -Bad driver (some drivers will cause an event due to internal bugs, but they are not nearly as common as many think because of all the previous things, causing the same symptom) - (remove all 3rd party programs and make sure that are not load drivers. Then install only what you need 3rd party stuff and make sure it is the latest version).

• m9600t power

  Howdy all! Just a quick question on the m9600t since I'm really familiar with HP products. The food in this machine a block of standard retail FOOD or their owners on it as Dell connectors tends to use? I very probably want this upgrade down the road and I just want to be sure that I will be able to order one out of Newegg or something.

  Thank you!

  Should work with a standard ATX PSU.  Note that the case of gum-ball HP do not evacuate well.  This can be a problem if you are going to upgrade to a long PSU and/or GPU.  The case of HP is not designed for high end games, which would require a fast GPU and CPU fan case superior.

  The best strategy is to find a good Builder custom in your area.  Start with a good deal like the Antec 300.  I would go with an AMD Phenom II X 4 955 rig, which is expected to overclock CPU up to about 4.0 3.8 GHz.  Alternatively, you can also stick with an E8400 and overclock that chip North of 4.0 GHz.  Now that the CPU is no longer a problem, drop in a Radeon 4870.  The 4770 is also a good value.

  I7 is not a very good value.  Put the $ additional registered towards a better GPU.  The key is to build your deck around the upper components that will allow you to extract the maximum speed on the CPU, GPU and RAM.  You don't want to deal with a costly stock HP... Locked CPU and BIOS.  Also note that BIOS support is very very poor.  You will see a new BIOS update 4-6 x per year with a motherboard of passionate for software/hardware issues.

  HP and DELL agree to base Office because the entry price is usually less than $400.  Stick with a custom platform if you demand quality and high performance.

• Need of the good, the bad and the ugly on the desktop E9150T

  For those of you who bought a desktop computer HP E9150T can you please share the pro and con with me?

  I've waited long to upgrade my old built generic XP desktop and I'm looking at HP E9150T and the Dell Studio XPS as spare parts.  Although the E9150T has more memory on their graphics card Dell is currently $150 cheaper with hardware quite comperable.  My problem with the Dell Studio XPS is reported that periodically the system overheats causing the fan to kick at such a high SPEED that users say it sounds like an airplane taking off.  Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be that a customer consumer out there about the E9150T, so I don't know what he expected and wants to carefully weigh my options until I went to bed a lot.

  In addition to the problem with the fan, I would like to know anything else, you can share with me regarding the system and support by HP.  Note that I am not a serious gamer and I don't think I have overtax my system with everything I do.  I'm really looking for a system that will meet my needs for a long time.

  Here's a question a little.  All my previous systems were built generically, but I don't have one of them built myself.  I received answers on other forums who say that it is better to stay generic than buying and a Dell or HP even if it is custom built to specifications as the two in question would be.  So my question is this...  What you give up by buying a unit like these two from Dell or HP?  I've heard stories about parties are of lower quality than what you can buy in a generic way, I've heard of lack of scalability or system being owner and will use only parts provided by themselves and I heard that HP and Dell purchase stripped of motherboards from generics like ASUS and paralyze the bios in them.  My concern with HP or Dell, is that I would get a reliable system of quality with good quality parts.  I have never overclocked one of my existing systems and the only real reason why I never bought a HP is before I could not find a system "off the shelf" that met all my criteria in the way form or version of the operating system installed.  With the e9150t of HP and Dell XPS I get little close to what I have ordered a generic system.  I saw a system similar to the e9150t who had other CPUS in them and they all seem nice and seems quiet but I think I might bother some people if I start the case of cracking and search.  Any idea would be appreciated.

  It is best to avoid 1st generation X 58 (high-end) Board of Directors of a big box-manufacturer.

  1. lack of refinement.  This is a good market version a Committee of Asus OEM.  Some early production bugs are resolved with BIOS updated frequently if you have a retail Council.  A Committee of OEM HP can get one or two updates.  There is no ideal Board, but 1st generation tips are still buggy.  BIOS frequently update helps, but does not eliminate the frustration factor if you are affected by the bug.

  2. management of poor fan / thermal with a Committee of OEM.  You can adjust the fan speed and the type of fan (-3 or 4-pin PWM) with an enthusiastic Committee.  A quality Retail Council has better cooling on the circuit of PWM chipset (greater stability to high temperature of case).

  3. limitation of output power from the PSU OEM.  Better nutrition is capable of driving two high range GPU.

  4. no oveclocking ability.  I7 920 D0 entry level should be able to operate at 4.0 GHz with a detail of good advice and a CPU cooler.  It is a huge boost in performance compared to 2.66 GHz stock speed (time of Super Pi 1 M 9 seconds @ 4.0 GHz vs 16 seconds @ 2 .66GHz).

  5 pre-installed crapware.

  6. no choice of OS.  Vista is dead.  The future is W7 SP1 (2nd quarter 2010) If you must have the latest OS.  I prefer Windows XP Pro 32 or 64-bit.  It is widely compatible with programs in May because of his age.  It is significantly faster than Vista or W7.  He joined no digital rights management.

  7. poor implementation of the Portable Media Drive.  It is a USB 2.0 removable drive, whose speed is capped at USB 2.0 real world of 23 MB/s speed.  USB 2.0 is a technology for ten years.  A high-end removable player should be based on the eSATA, allowing you to transfer data at the speed of the hard drive (currently 60 MB/s to 110 MB/s).  It's 3 x the speed of USB 2.0.

  8 questionable clientele with the manufacturer of big box (work with a monkey phone level 1st reading of the guide by script).  A local custom Builder should know that the PC inside and out and give advice on the future upgrade.

  9. lower case ventilation.  A good custom case (Antec 300) has four 120mm fans and a 140mm fan.  If you set the speed of the fan on the motherboard at 1200 rpm, the platform will be whisper quiet even at full load.  There is a fan directly in front of the hard drive to maintain external work under 40 ° C in the warmest room.

  There is always something new and better each month in the calculation of the PC.  You can assemble the most stable and oriented platform value based on knowledge today.  These large PC were designed months ago.

  It is difficult to compete with the PC to large areas in the range of $500 of overtime because of the fixed cost of work.  The big boys can buy components cheap with a huge volume discount.

  Once you break the barrier of $1,000, then the advantage swings to the custom test.  The big leagues at the price of these platforms with extra fat.  HP can still make $ on a platform i 920 even with a discount of $400 - $500 off the price of the web.  Most of the custom builders will not charge you additional labor for an expensive drilling rig (unless you specify the cooling water).  As a result, thi $300 "discount" can be used to buy a best MB, PSU, HDD and GPU.  Also note that all the components of quality PC come with 3 year warranty frm.  This is much longer than the standard 1 year at HP.

  You never have to deal with a custom platform.  You want a disk Western Digital Carvia Black 7200 RPM 640GO/32 MB cache?  No problem.  You want an overclockee platform with no more noise 30dBA @ 100% CPU load (inaudible in a silent room)?  No problem.  Try this with DELL, HP or any manufacturer of big box.

  Personally, I would not spend $ on an i7 920 drilling rig.  Unless you are a pro video editor or a super - duper Hard Core than Gamer, a custom bicoeur overclockee Intel platform would be my 1st choice.  For about $600, you get a 4.0 GHz overclocked CPU that could calculate the number Pi to the digits of 1 M in 13 seconds.  A stock HP 920 i7 handles this task in 17 seconds.

  Put the $ saved in a savings account.  Expect that your 4.0 GHz dual core CPU becomes the bottleneck before you upgrade the MB, CPU and RAM (maybe 3-4 years).  When you do that, you'll probably looking at a 6-8 CPU core.  Scalability a rig is a fool's game.  Buy only what you need today.  Go with eSATA if you need external storage.  USB 2.0 is only suitable for the smallest USB.

• BSOD while browsing with Chrome - Crash address ntoskrnl.exe + 5 has 440

  Hello, everyone. My laptop Dell Inspiron 1425, and the operating system is Windows 8 64-bit.

  These two days I get a blue screen while browsing with Chrome. So far, it's happened three times. Minidump files, we can see that the drivers that caused them are different, but their address of accident are the same: ntoskrnl.exe + 5 has 440. And each one happened when I was browsing with Chrome, I think they are relevant. Here's my Minidump files:

  Thank you for your help :)

  Hello

  We have two bugs attached landfills here:

  DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION (133)

  Bug DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION control has a value of 0 x 00000133. This bug check indicates that the watchdog DPC executed, either because it has detected a call single lengthy proceedings deferred (DPC), the system spent an extended time at a level (IRQL) IRQ to DISPATCH_LEVEL or above. The value of parameter 1 indicates whether one single DPC exceeded a timeout, or if the system is cumulatively spent a long period of time IRQL DISPATCH_LEVEL or higher.

  I notice you have installed Norton. I will recommend to temporary troubleshooting purposes remove you Norton and replace it with built-in Windows Defender from Windows 8.

  Norton removal tool - ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

  If the removal and replacement of Norton do not help, the second error checking is:

  VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE (116)

  The basic definition of a bugcheck 0 x 116 is:

  There may be a bug in the video driver or video material.

  So I would now explain what means VIDEO_TDR_ERROR. Firstly, TDR is an acronym for Timeout detection and recovery. Detection time and recovery was introduced in Vista and carried over to Windows 7. Rather than exactly what detection time and recovery did exactly, I'll just quote the MSDN article!

  Timeout detection:

  Planner of the GPU, which is part of the DirectX Graphics kernel subsystem (Dxgkrnl.sys), detects that the GPU takes more than the amount of time to perform a particular task. The GPU scheduler then attempts to anticipate on this particular task. Preempt is a timeout 'wait', which is the actual time of TDR. This step is the detection of delay of the process phase. The period of default timeout in Windows Vista and later versions is 2 seconds. If the GPU cannot complete or anticipate the current task period TDR, the diagnostic operating system that the GPU is frozen.
  To avoid detection of timeout to occur, hardware vendors should ensure that graphics operations (i.e. buffer DMA completion) will not take more than 2 seconds in scenarios such as productivity and the game to the end user.

  Preparation for recovery:

  The operating system GPU Scheduler calls the function DxgkDdiResetFromTimeout of the miniport driver of the display to inform the driver that the operating system detected a timeout. The pilot must then resets and reset the GPU. In addition, the driver must stop access to memory and go not material. The operating system and the driver collect material and other State information that might be useful for post-mortem diagnosis.

  Recovery of funds:

  The operating system resets the State appropriate graphics stack. The video memory manager, which is also part of Dxgkrnl.sys, serving all allocations of video memory. The miniport display driver resets the State of the GPU hardware. The graphics stack takes the final steps and restores the receptive office. As mentioned previously, some older DirectX applications could make only in black at the end of this recovery, which requires the user to restart these applications. Well-written 9Ex, DirectX and DirectX 10 and subsequent applications which manage peripheral technology delete continue to function correctly. An application must release and then recreate the Direct3D device and all the objects in the device. For more information on how get the DirectX applications, see the Windows SDK.

  Article here.

  That being said, if the detection time and recovery fails to retrieve the display driver, it will then pull the bugcheck 0 x 116. There are many different things that can cause a 0 x 116, which I'll explain below:

  The following hardware problems may cause a TDR event:

  1 unstable overclock (CPU, GPU, etc.). Return any overclocks to stock settings.

  2 bad sector in memory, resulting in corrupted data is communicated between the GPU and system (memory video, otherwise known as VRAM or physical memory, also called RAM).

  GPU tests: Furmark

  RAM test: Memtest86 +.

  3 corrupt hard drive or install Windows / OS install resulting in corruption in the registry or the page file.

  To reset your swap file, follow these steps:

  (a) go to start... Run... and type "sysdm.cpl" (without the quotes) and press ENTER.

  -Then click on the Advanced tab.
  - then the Performance Settings button.
  - then on the tab advanced following.
  -and then click the virtual memory button.

  (b) in this window, note the current settings of your swap file (so you can restore them later).

  -Then click on the option button "No paging file", and
  - Press the Set"" button. Don't forget, if you have several hard drives, make sure that the paging file is set to 0 on all of them.
  -Click OK to exit the dialog boxes.

  (c) restarted (this will remove the file from your system)

  ((d) then go back following the directions in step one) and re-enter the settings that you noted in step

  (b) follow the steps along the (and including) the reset.

  (e) once you have restarted this second time, go back and make sure the settings are as they are supposed to be.

  Run the System File Checker:

  SFC. EXE/SCANNOW

  Click on start and type "cmd.exe" (without the quotes)

  At the top of the search box, right-click on the cmd.exe and select "Run as Administrator"

  In the black window that opens, type "SFC. EXE/scannow"(without the quotes) and press ENTER.

  Let the program run and after return what he says when it's done.

  -Overheating of the CPU or GPU and or other elements can cause 0 x 116 bugs. Monitor your temperature and ensure that the system is sufficiently cooled.

  -GPU failure. Whether the heat, power (PSU) issue, lack of VRAM, etc..

  The following software issues can cause a TDR event:

  -Incompatible drivers of any kind (two GPU, sound, etc)

  -Messy registry / corrupted

  -DirectX bad files (uninstall and reinstall DirectX)

  -bad system files (System File Checker - has been run on it)

  -Bad driver (some drivers will cause an event due to internal bugs, but they are not nearly as common as many think because of all the previous things, causing the same symptom) - (remove all 3rd party programs and make sure that are not load drivers. Then install only what you need 3rd party stuff and make sure it is the latest version).

  the key with any of these i7 processors is to overclock to 4 ghz +. This requires a good reserve of power and cpu cooler. you list a great psu, but I do not see a CPU cooler. something like the noctua d15s is a good air cooler, it requires a second fan for higher overclocks. I love air because there are fewer potential problems, but if you go for the great extreme overclock you a cooler liquid, something with a rad 280 or 360mm.

  CPU: unless you need 40 lane pcie card pcie 4-5, the i7 - 6800 k (28 tracks) is a good way to save money. These 6 core cpu's entry 4 k, so if you are looking for more than a "machine to grind" you can look at the core i7 - 6900 k 8.

  MBD: I've got consider getting the 99 refreshed motherboards, like x 99A x II. a big change in the new versions are how to divide the pcie channels. You can review the asus motherboard Web pages or manuals to compare the differences.

  RAM: closer something speeds ddr4-3000.

  GPU: If you plan to use lots and lots of lumetri and fx gpu, the gtx 1070 will help with those, otherwise the 1060 gtx will manage a decent amount of gpu fx and lumetri and save money. in general the 1070 gtx is a better match with the 8 core cpu for first. According to me, one of these cards will be your 3 monitor configuration, but I can't confirm first-hand. If there is a problem, you could get a second cheap video card (if its nvidia another card, configure the first don't not for use with the nvidia Control Panel), or if one of the screens is to play full-screen, you could watch a display card blackmagic, aja or other.

  PSU: excellent choice. If the budget and only done light overclocking, the G2 model 850w however will help reduce costs.

  the number of case fans will depend on if you go to a quieter system and style fan gpu and cpu cooler overclocks. more like 140mm fans can be a little quieter while still moving a decent amount of air. Some brands of fans are also quieter or noisier and have different RPM. Noctua fans are some of the quietest it's why their air coolers are also so quiet. If you go for a system at rest with low to average overclock on air, you can keep the lid on noise to keep down. more the overclock cpu, the airflow more is necessary to keep the freshness of the motherboard. so higher overclocks can be necessary for some fans in the upper part. with a cooler liquid such as exhaust at the top, you can test the rear fan as a dose. with a cooler of air exhausting from the back, you may be taken from above. If the gpu uses a fan of style, like the founders of edition-reference design, then it will help to keep the heat out of the housing of the computer and can help reduce the amount of necessary fans or lower the fan speed. the double or triple gpu fan will be quieter and some will be out even their fans gpu if its not hot enough need them, but they also drain most of the heat from the gpu in the case. If you run the fan on the motherboard connections and you do not use the case fan controller, you can use fan splitter adapters or card ASUS fan extension, if the motherboard supports.

  storage: the samsung pro is great. If you want to save money, the evo may be sufficient. a lot of small cache files will be difficult (slow) for hard disk, where as ssd manage very well. so you can place the first cache on the disk for the OS/applications. If you don't want or need a lot of cache space, you can get a second ssd for dedicated cache. make 2 x 5 TB raid wd can be performed with the motherboard and should work fine. If you are looking for max performance or just a real raid card, then you should watch company records and Areca raid card. No raid raid, motherboard or card, you must have a backup of all important data on the raid. you only need the raid to be fairly big for the media and current projects, and then unload on a storage/backup drive when finished. If you don't have a 10 TB of space for ongoing projects, you could go with smaller hard drive to save money. If the active project space is small, you can also watch some samsung 850 evo. for the backup/storage drive, I would recommend a single drive archive / company for better reliability. If the backup data are really important, you can keep another copy in a similar external disk.

• We could overclock the CPU of the Satellite A200 - 1 GB?

  Hi all

  How I see the temperature of the CPU of my A200 - 1 GB.
  I can't see it in the bios. Is there any application provided by Toshiba or Vista.

  Another thing, it is that we can over clock the CPU of the A200 - 1 GB?
  IF it is possible, which is the way we need to do this?
  At the same time I have to monitor the temperature of the CPU after overclocking.

  Can someone help me on this?
  Kind regards.

  There is no tool of Toshiba that would indicate the temperature NECK.
  Check the 3d tools from third parties such as Everest home edition

  Short answer; No, it is not possible to s
