I second this Vote for the Sticky ;-)

[darkorb]

3rd.

u use systool to OC? iv only heard its good to OC through bios

[Schwarz]

Well personnaly I would also OC through the BIOS but sometimes when you have a (*&( bios then this is your only resort.

[darkorb]

cuz through that program i can set my divider to some that the BIOS dont have, so that means i can get my CPU higher, but it says *Not officially supported. so im kinda nervous :P

[THRASHER2]

I use the ClockGen and the Systool every week :devildance:

[Schwarz]

I don't think it really matters if it says not supported.
If it doesn't work then just start in safe mode and take off the clock.

[darkorb]

with that program, how does it work? everytime ur computer turns on it loads those settings? or does it somehow set it in the bios?

[the_dope_chaud]

Hey Thrasher you said you would have more links soon? ;)

[zachig]

WOW Thrasher!!! I've just noticed this list of yours! :jawdrop:

You did a GREAT job! WELL DONE!!! This is a VERY USEFUL list! :grin:

Many THANKS!!! :icon_tiphat:

[stlava]

It would be cool to have vista downloads added to the list. But it seems like it includes a great deal of links already though! Good job.

[mivanx77]

Is their any good Hard Drive utilities that check the speed and write?

[westy87]

I like this link, it has the power reqs for all graphics cards.

Thanks for the info and WELCOME ABOARD to the forums. :icon_tiphat:

This one is useful even though I mainly use 'Extreme Power Supply Calculator (http://www.extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp)' (The 'Lite' Free version), as it take into consideration ALL parts in your system and not just the Video Card.

Give it a try:

[CrowMagnum]

Thanks. =]

Mmm, I use that and the Antec PS Calc when I'm building lower power rigs. But knowing the specifics is pretty good to know off the top of your head.

Great find, Blacksmith1. :grin: I didn't know they released a GPU Memory Tester.

I might give it a try...Just to make sure my 8800GTX memory is OK. ;-)

If no one posted it yet, I can recommend you to open a new thread about it here in the forums so more people can see it. :icon_tiphat:

to clean drivers of:
*All NVIDIA & AMD drivers
*Intel Drivers
*ASUS - sound
*Creative - sound
*NES - USB
*Realtek - sound
*Microsoft - keyboard & mouse

[zachig]

I must join the recommendation on Driver Sweeper. Great free app which I'm using a lot to clean residues of uninstalled drivers.
