    Very cool.
    So many cries of inequality stem from one of group
    of people doing little or nothing and then bitching
    about another group that actually does something
    to improve their lives.

    I have two computers in my office and the funny thing is, this will hardly be used except maybe to check email or something. My gaming rig is my R2-M5. When I built him 3 years ago, he was the top shit $1600 PC, but not so much anymore. He has an Intel Quad, 8GB of RAM, Radeon 3870 X2, 80GB Raptor, 1TB secondary, 600 watt PSU

    I got those same high gain antennas on my wireless router. I don't think you can get them anymore.

    Hey Satan I just bought a 120GB OCZ 3.5" SSD. I want to put my OS and some games on it and the rest of my crap on some other hard drives. I'm running an i7 920 which out of the box runs at 2.67GHz but I have it overclocked to 4.2GHz. I dont know much about overclocking and dont want to mess up what I have going. I know the overclocks done on the bios but is there anything I should do so that nothing changes when I install the OS on this new hard drive?
    I love getting high, I hate getting low, and I like to drive my truck down a muddy dirt road.

    I'm a great believer in luck and I find that the harder I work, the more I have of it.

    It shouldn't matter. I don't know much about overclocking but I am pretty sure the OS doesn't have anything to with that.

    I'm thinking the same thing but I don't want to mess up the overclock because I doubt I can get it to back to 4.2GHz on my own and have it run stable.

    Does your BIOS have the option to save your OC? A lot of boards have multiple saves available and at any time you can load a save and it'll clock itself back to your current OC

    I have a computer degree but the only thing they ever said about overclocking was not to do it lol. But from the little bit I have read on it, it shouldn't matter as long as it was overclocked in the BIOS and not with a software program.

    Wrong. You can overclock to a degree *relatively* safely by modifying clock speeds in either software or the BIOS (typically the BIOS), but you may find stability starts to suffer once you start pushing it - you also need to monitor CPU temps to make sure they stay within spec.

    OC becomes more dangerous once you start changing voltage settings as that can easily fry your CPU if you don't have adequate cooling, or you step the voltage up too quickly.

    What did I say that was wrong? All I said was he can change his operating system without messing up his OC, is that not right? I didn't say anything about how hard you can push an OC.
