hmm, about the 2.6ghz problem i have people told me to use CPUID to surpass the 2.6ghz, i have it and shows me my cpu information and its still at 2.67ghz, how do i surpass the speed? this guys said he loaded his processor to pass it, how do you do that? sorry am asking you many questions, but to be honest.. you guys reply alot quicker, sound alot smarter, then dell comunitty forums

CPUID / CPUZ simply report core speed, they dont actually alter it....... in order to surpass 2.6ghz you'll need to ''overclock'' this process is done via the BIOS before windows is booted.

there's no real quick answer for this, but take a look HERE, this will get you started with OCing.

If you have a GigaByte board, it would be easy to oc through Easy Tune 6 .. It's very simple and I've overclocked my E7300 to 3GHz a couple of days ago using ET6 and it worked just fine, but had to go back to the regular speed cause I'm using the stock CPU fan for now..

gigabyte boards are pure win to me. I am allowed to get up close to 3.5ghz without crashing but my stock cooler will make a lot of noise. waiting for new cooler.


To the OP, when you bought this computer did dell say you are allowed to even over clock. most PC brand lock the BIOS so nothing over-clocks at all.

Well my first PC was a Dell back in 1995, thats where I learned how to build a pc.. by takeing the dell apart and rebuilding it from day 1 lol.

So you bought an education.. live and learn.

hmm, most likely i have a gigabyte motherboard, and its liquid cooled, how far you think i could overclock it?

 

[The Apathetic]

If you have never overclocked before, you really really have to read some basic guides about it..

Here you go >>

hey everybody, am happy to let you know that i got my 1920X1200 Full Hd monitor, but i hardly see any differences, my old monitor was a old regular 1680X1050, and i got this new one 1920X1200 1080p Full Hd for my graphic card, i c no differences between the 2 resolution it look all the same to me, does anybody know how to check or tell if its 1080p HD, i right click on my desktop and click resolution and its set at 1920X1200 already, i just wanna make sure i have it to HD

1920x1200 isn't really true HD. Yea, you can run HD stuff on it as nowadays all 1080HD is is just a pixel height of 1080 or more. For true HD you need a 16:9 ratio monitor, where 1920x1200 is a 16:10 ratio, so a 1080 movie will need to be stretched to fill the monitor screen, which in turn will make the image look slightly stretched.

It's ONLY Obvious

Ha, the 5970 wins by a mile stone! To round this up, in DiRT 2, the evga GTX 295 got 41.5 FPS and the HIS ATI Radeon 5970 got 91.6 FPS
