Hey Guys,
I need a little help! A while back someone posted a link either here or the Hounds for some software overclocking software. I know I saved it but I can't find it. Would that person kindly re-post the link? I have a few "Mad Scientist" things I want to try and that software would be the right thing for the job!

FISHNERD,
I don't mean to be a fly in the ointment but I'm very partial to my Sceptre X20 available at:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16824112176
From experience with it since I bought it early March, I can tell you that it's the best 20.1 widescreen I've ever seen. I can't wait until I get my ATi X850XT 8x AGP card for it. The XFX 5200 in it now is just not near good enough for games. I can play Delta Force Extreme at the highest resolution but I can't improve the detail of the video because I only have 4 Pixel Pipelines. I can't wait for the 16 I'll have with the X850XT. The computer has the guts to run anything, it only needs the ATi to be perfect.
I'll tell you how good I think the Sceptre is. I would pay the same price that I paid for it then, if I had to right now!!! It was a bargain at $430, it's a STEAL at $299!!!! I especially love to watch the amazed looks on peoples faces the first time they see a game or a DVD played on it! It's been about 4 months since I got it, with many hours spent on-line and their hasn't been a hint of eyestrain. Something I can't say for some other brands! I highly recomend it!!! Think about it.
Happy Computering,
theonejrs
P.S. Read the reviews at Newegg, particularly about the gaming. It's an "amazing" monitor for the price!

baltekmi,
No, it's got to be this one or the Hounds. It was after the new thread! I went back to around page 35 but I finally gave up and asked for it. It's hard to read through 40 pages or so, I just may have missed it.
Thanks anyway,

baltekmi,
Nah, I just remember someone asking about an overclocking program and gave a link for it. I could have sworn that it sparked some discussion but I just can't find it! I just has a couple of crazy ideas that I wanted to try and the software might be helpful as you can make changes on the fly. If I could remember the name I could find it. I need to seriously clean out my D Drive!!! Like say with a Machette! Thanks anyway.

No I don't think it's the power supply but if you are running the memory timings listed in your sig, then they are way too tight. What I would like to see is Sandra benches for Math and Memory Bandwidth, then I could tell you a little more CPUz just doesn't give enough information. I had the same problem where Prime95 would be running and the machine would just shut down. Post those 2 benches and I will have a better idea of what's wrong. I use a pasword so I can see if it failed and re-booted. If the pasword screen is there, it failed. Please use the older one if you have it as the 2007 is just too hard to read!
Make sure you scroll the info at the bottom before you capture it so I can see the CPU info on the math and the memory timings and speed on the memory bandwidth. Thanks.

ddp: Damn, I tried my hardest to try and phrase that that it was his parents that told him he couldn't go on this site, without talking about his bans. It didn't work.
Fihsnerd: If the old mobo was a big bottleneck as ddp says, S-ATA won't make a difference, but a defrag certainly will. Despite the apparent recent quality of the burners I stay away from BenQ stuff, I've had too much grief from them in the past. Viewsonic are excellent. True I've also hada Viewsonic monitor replaced, but I am still happy to use it, and it didn't break after 1 month like the benq cd-rw drive, it was a good 19, and they also have a 3 year on-site warranty.
The sceptre is very good, but this is of course if you want widescreen.

Yeah i want a widescreen.. but i herd that it had horrible refresh rates.. and really bad ghosting.. because i myself was lingering between that and the benQ.. did yall see the 19" benQ with the 2ms responce?? its nice..
that and my parents might be cutting me short on money. 50.00 but i was volintered to do work at my sisters school for 4 weeks, so they better not cut me short.. :)
but if the lcd is as good as you say.. hell, i will get the **** thing.. for that price it is a steel.. my mom just got a 19" lcd 210.00 and 110.00 after rebate.. hell of a rebate i know.. but it is soo F'ing big.. that makes this 19" look about the same size but.. u know.. and this has a curve on it when you are seeing somthing black.. it is quite annoying.. anyways.. i am going to try and post pictures today..
Have Fun,

That's not true of the Sceptre X20, just a lot of widescreen monitors. However, 4:3 monitors are more suited to some purposes.
Lol by the way is that picture from ctrl-alt-del by any chance?

You'd be surprised, some boards have better layouts than others. The X850XT doesn't support 3.0, only 2.0b. Not sure about HDR, but for best performance, X1800GTO is the better option for UK people (shame it's more money in the USA).

Some of the early ones had a tearing problem with the picture which Sceptre took care of via RMA. It's an 8ms monitor and there is no "ghosting or smearing" of any kind. At 1680x1050, its better than my old 5200 video card can deliver, at least at gaming. With a screen height of about 10 1/4" it's the same height as a 4:3 19" and over 17" wide! Great buy!!!

Even without HDR and PS 3.0 the X850XT does indeed top out the GeForce 6800 Ultra. That, and you can run forced HDR in some games:P
Very well performing card for me but I am looking at getting something better when I can scrounge up the cash. I really want an X1800XT or maybe just an XL... either way I really want to enable HDR in Oblivion. Bloom lighting is pretty but just not as drop-dead gorgeous as HDR.
Some say that HDR isn't that great and it's a waste of time to optimize for it but they just haven't used it yet. Still screenshots do HDR absolutely no justice. It's like... everything is bathed in an aura of perfect beauty.
I got to play Oblivion on my friends X1800XT based machine and it was really a treat, lemme tell ya.
So if you really want an awesome machine get an X1800GTO or a GeForce 7 series. I recommend no lower than a 7600GT and I think the 7800GT is actually great bang for your buck.
If you can you should steer clear of the GeForce 6 series. While they are decent performers a lot of games tend to not agree with their architecture... namely Oblivion... And they're also WAAAAYYYY too expensive for their performance. I think I saw a 6800Ultra a few months ago for about $450. The only one I can actually recommend for price/performance is the 6600GT and even then You have to get it below $120 for it to even be a decent deal.
Anything in the mid to high X800 series is awesome i.e. X800XL,X800XT,X850Pro,X850XT/PE.
All in the X800 series can be had for under $200 at newegg.... actualy I'm not quite sure about the X800XT... may actually be over $300 on newegg... bad pricing:P
