Seatools will only confirm that a drive has failed. SMART tools will use stats to alert you that a drive may be failing. Your spin retry count indicates a failing hard drive motor, or trouble with your power supply. So start backing up. Keep an eye on the count. Reallocated sector count is ok...

Furmark has dropped artifact testing, so dump that. Get OCCT, its got an error checking mode - http://www.ocbase.com/index.php/download Run OCCT GPU stress test at stock clocks and note your peak temperature. Leave your memory alone first. Increase GPU Core clocks in Overdrive by segments of...

520 is a good buy. The best option among Sandforce drives. However only time will tell if they have totally fixed any sandforce bugs. If absolute reliability is what you're looking for, the M4 will be a better choice...

If he finds a very low power GPU, maybe. With his GTX560, no way. Considering he did not even plug in the ATX 12V connector, I doubt he will plugin the PCIe power connectors.

His assumption is that the CPU die area will only be as big as the black square portion in the image. So the other 2 heatpipes in the side aren't making direct contact with the CPU die. Yes direct contact heatpipes are also used in air coolers.

Startup inrush currents. That brief second when you hit the power switch, the power draw will be way higher than what you can get even if your system is loaded 100%. I have seen local psus unable to power even simple i3 systems.

Thats a Delta and NMB fan. Both are good. Check your motherboard manual for the maximum amp rating supported by the motherboard fan headers. If your fan Amp rating fall within those values, you can use it. This is what a motherboard fan header looks like -...

Your core voltage/Vddc at full load is the default 1.125V. So its not undervolted. Your GPU core might be able to do 850, since they do not follow speed binning religiously. As Gamer1120 said, even the 6750s are clocking well. However your card's memory chips will most likely be rated only for...

The Biostar T-series is reliable for an overclocker on a budget.

Gee thanks for the attitude! Apart from the CPU, I didn't see any specs mentioned in the previous posts. And you still haven't mentioned your laptop model.

#[member='GameR1120'] , Please do not suggest overvolting a GPU to a new overclocker, unless you are willing to buy him a new GPU. #[member='nikhilkdipsar'] , Please do not touch voltages at all for now. I guess you did not follow the instructions about moving in steps and testing stability but...

Which laptop model do you have? What CPU and GPU? What temps were you seeing when the laptop was new? Why will uneven paste result in air bubbles? The clamping force of the heatsink module is enough to flatten thermal paste perfectly and drive out any air bubbles. Either the heatsink...

1) Why did you overclock your FX-8120 from 3.1GHz to 4GHz in 1 shot? Why didnt you try the 16x multi first and then step by step increase it to 20x? 2) After it did not POST, why didn't you reset the CMOS instead of trying to power it on again? You say "(but how could this have any effect...

Is that the Coolermaster extreme power 600W? Its an overrated unit and not something i would overclock on. Do you want to overclock because you're suffering from poor performance? I would suggest first upgrading your PSU and maybe getting a better card. If you just want to experiment with...

Calm down ladies. And use a pinch of common sense. #[member='guneshwor'] : you can stress test without fear. Your processor isn't going to fry, neither is the plastic going to melt. Your chip has a safety mechanism to automatically drop clock speeds once it crosses Tjmax to keep temperatures...

Yes the receipt. I dont think its on the box.

The order number will be on the Invoice sheet.

It has nothing to do with pushing the limits. Assuming a platter size of 500GB, a 1TB disk will need 2 platters/4 heads and a 2TB disk will need 4 platters/8 heads. Simple probability says the chances of a platter/head failing increases with more platters/heads.

I hear an echo
