Pushed that last one a tad too far I believe, Prey crashed immediately on game load. Decreased speeds a tad:

Prey loaded and I played for 20 minutes. Not a great stress test, but it'll do for now...

You could probably do with a better cooler than the stock Intel one, although if not overclocked it should cool the chip fine. Ensure that it is fitted to the mainboard correctly (all 'clips' are fully pushed in until they make a satisfying 'click'). May want to add some more case fans too, at the front to suck in cool air, and at the rear to exhaust the warm air build up inside the case.

That card produces a lot of heat. What was probably an OK cooling solution before you got that card probably can't dissipate the heat well enough. You need a good case, several cooling fans and a good airflow throughout. It doesn't necessarily mean there is a problem with your CPU/heat sink, although you may want to invest in a better fan than the stock Intel one.

Sorry the pic sucks....basically just shows my A64 3700+ (San Diego) reaching 2.9 ghz on air cool. Hits 47C when under cpu bench. It's stock ghz is 2.2 so not to shabby

The san diego cores are the best A64 core to OC with....its basically and clocked down FX 57 I think

My First Overclock Ever

Pentium 4 505 2.66Ghz:

Running at 3.00GHz. 150MHz FSB. Load temp = 52C

Stock cooling. Well, whatever came with my Pre-built PC really.

And yeah, I know...Pre-built = Bad... :unsure:

ATi All-In-Wonder 9600:

Core - 324Mhz up to 425MHz

Memory - 195MHz up to 251MHz

Also stock cooling, just the heatsink.

And after looking at some of the computers here,

mine is really starting to show its age.

    • Not such a great deal, Ultimate, which gives you full 5080 features is $181.99 CAD per month, that's $2183.88 per year, I can buy the 5080 for $1809.99 CAD, then it goes up to $279.99 per month after the first billing cycle. Typical cloud rental, costs more than buying the hardware.
    • Wow, spoken like a true blind hater, you don't even provide arguments. Please, go check my comment above to @seacaptain and you'll find out why what you say doesn't make sense in this context...
    • Get used to this, with AI tooling now uncovering new vulns and getting them exploitable far faster than has ever been possible before software is going to need to be updated far more frequently. Back in the day it may take reseachers weeks or months to do what AI can now do in hours. Once its a threat is discovered it's weaponsized far more quickly, meaning you simply can't be waiting 2, 3, 4 weeks to deploy a patch, it needs to be patched immediately. Going to be interesting handling this in the enterprise space where traditionally patching has been steady, but very staged (and rightly so up until now), that is going to have to change.
    • You don't need to "close all browser sessions constantly" or wait for updates to install. The updates download in the background while you use the browser, without interrupting you, they install automatically the next time you launch the app. And they install very fast (depending on your storage speeds, of course), you have to wait at most 2-3 extra seconds, if any. Seems like you haven't used Edge in a loooooooong time...
