interesting stuff, note the 4.25Ghz Phenom on air, versus the 4.6Ghz i5 on air :P
because there is no real bus limitation for the Phenoms they can clock the highest on LN2 due to the voltage freedom. Note that the i5s top out at 1.65V versus the Phenoms at 1.9V!
The overclocking podium for the i5 750, which are no more than 50mhz apart (8mhz for 1st to 2nd) are shared between MSI's GD65 and GD80 boards and the Biostar TP55 which takes the top spot - just!

Here's a short article from Anandtech on some overclocking tests on the Intel i5/750 an the i7 860 and 870! Interesting!

Yeah the interesting thing is that while the CPUs themselves are great for overclocking, because they house the northbridge, that part of the CPU needs extra voltage to overclock well. Up it a bit though and they take off like wildfire.

I have a GeForce 6200 AGP in one of my computers and it has a bulging capacitor on it. I didn't really think of it at first, so I just wiped the capacitor (removing the acid or whatever was coming out) and put it back inside the computer. Now do you guys think I should RMA the card or do you think it will be fine? Is there any good GPU stress testing software that I can use to stress the card to see what happens? There is a lifetime warranty on the card so I am sure I can do an RMA. Please do not tell me to upgrade the card because I have far better cards in my main computers and this computer is just there as a backup. If I do RMA, what do you think I will get back? Do they even have AGP cards anymore? The card is an EVGA.

I was born naked, wet, and hungry. Then things got worse.

im1992,
If a capacitor is bulging, leaking, and it's under warranty, by all means, RMA it! It's only a matter of time before that cap that's going bad will burn you, otherwise!

Happy Holidays,
Russ

Usually bulging means the cap is blown. I had the same on a 7600GT and because it was OOP Evga offered me a super discount 7900GS which went to ebay the next day after I got it :P

Hi,
Thanks for the replies guys.
I was wondering why I am not having any problems though? Shouldn't there be artifacting or other problems? Do you think the AGP slot is damaged because of this?
