Never overclocked before, need help.

[Mandrake4565]

They have one in Orange County CA, don't know how close that is to you. Anyhow it's a little more expensive at newegg.com really good case for the money though.

Well, Orange County is way far away.

like 80 miles or something just to get into the vicinity of oc, then gotta get to wherever the heck that microcenter is.

Also, what's so good about that case?

 

[trents]

Vexus, you have tons of input already. Seems to me it's time to make a decision and put some money down.

I know, but I don't have a lot of money, so I wanna make sure what I get is for sure gonna be good.

i have a few more questions, and then I will probably decide what to buy...

What's the differences between this mobo and this mobo

And I'm thinking of getting the cooler master case

and either this PSU or this PSU

What do you guys think?

 

[trents]

Concerning the two mobos, they are essentially the same spec wise. Same chipset. Same price. I would suggest you give weight to which one sold the best on Egg. I think it's no stretch to say that Asus is the most popular brand with overclockers. Their customer service is not good but most of the other motherboard manufacturers' customer service also stinks.

Concerning the case, there is no better one for the money available. Plenty wide to provide clearance for even the largest air coolers. That's very important in my book.

As far as the PSUs, the enthusiast series is a higher quality product than the builder series.

 

[Mandrake4565]

+1 to what Trents said and to add to the mobo category I personally would stay away from MSI. The voltage regulators tend to go boom! I have experienced it first hand.

 

[RGone]

I personally would stay away from MSI. The voltage regulators tend to go boom! I have experienced it first hand.

I was going also to say stay away from MSI for much the same reason. Just get tired of going around the same old circle.

 

[NiTrOwow]

Well I mean, they were suggesting I get a new psu anyway, so maybe getting a case would be a good idea too.

Plus, I hate having these HP stickers all over it, and taking them off might get messy and make it look even worse.

Alright, one thing. Now you are in overlocking anyways. Never buy HP or any other brand again. Just build em yourself

Btw also if you get new parts, go for a new cpu cooler. Always not bad at all

I'm never buying a desktop again, I'm gonna buy parts, and build a desktop myself.

 

[Vexus]

So I bought:
This motherboard
This case
This PSU
and This ssd

I'll keep you guys updated.

 

[tikithorsen]

Those are some sweet stuff you bought, kudos Vexus!

 

[trents]

Good choices. Now you need to work toward getting a good CPU cooler so you can overclock.

 

[Vexus]

Once I get some money, I'll get a cooler, and then start overclocking..I'm nearly broke right now! xD

 

[Vexus]

Ok, so I've gotten everthing set up, but for some reason, I've been getting more blue screens in 2 weeks than i have had in the past year.

Here's one (idk what to call this, but its like a dump analysis, i guess?)

Any ideas?

 

[RGone]

New Shortcut method for putting a Signature with your system information following your every post so people can know what is in the case that they are trying to assist with. You can use something like what is shown in my signature as a good template of needed information Thank you.

 

[RGone]

Run Memtest86+ for starters.

 

[Vexus]

is this good? lemme know what i need to fix/change

edit: Here's the link to the product specifications so you can help me out to set up the information in my sig

 

[RGone]

MOBO >> You could remove this >> [AMD 970 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard] >> and REplace that with the version of the motherboard bios.

CPU >> You could remove this completely >> [(came built in on last computer -- HP Pavilion Elite HPE-400y)] >> The reason I say remove some of the stuff is to REplace it with info we need. AND there is a character limit and line limit, so what is not needed may hinder putting up worthwhile information.

Memory >> You need to replace this with >> [4 x 2gb (came with HPE-400y)] >> 4 x 2gb >> Is that four sticks of ram? Need to look on the sides of the ram and look for a part/model number.

NOTE: It would be nice to know what kind of CPU Cooler you have. Maybe it has some writing on it??? Might be a part number. All I am asking about is more detailed information. Other than that is an awesome signature with colors that show up well on a black background with an ole faht's eyes. Hehehe.

 

[Vexus]

Everything else good?

 

[RGone]

Yes but you need to see if you can find/locate the other bits of information as they are often need to know those bits before making a suggestion. Thanks man for being so quick to try to get it done. That is a pure pleasure to see.

RGone...ster.
