My processor on a "new" computer that I have is randomly downclocking. Running Core Temp and its idling in the mid 30s nice and cool, the fan isn't particularly loud, and everything is still smooth, but it seems to be randomly changing between about 1.3Ghz and 2.4 (stock)

Does anybody know why? Specs if it matters (other than CPU)

Core 2 Duo E6600 2.4 Ghz
GT 520
2GB DDR2 Ram
Motherboard that I'm not sure about (LGA 775)

It couldn't be the PSU right? As far as I know, PSU can only affect the initial boot?

Depends on the game. SC2 is very CPU-heavy and will quickly be bottlenecked by the CPU in late-game situations if you're aiming for 60+ FPS at high settings. A relatively modest graphics card (6870 or comparable) should suffice.

Other games, especially FPS games, are more GPU-dependent and will need a faster graphics card to max out the CPU. Check review sites for benchmarks that should give you some indication.

Hi how do I get the rights over a thread if the person who created it is unactive (for months) Because NaniWa's fanclub is pretty shitty at the moment (less than he deserves!)
Sorry if this is the wrong place, but didnt know where to ask :/

Hi guys, I upgraded to a new rig a month ago or so, and since it's got a lot of fans and negative pressure for optimal cooling I'm afraid it might need more cleaning than my previous pc. So what's the best way to get dust out of the case? Compressed air? Dust cloths? A mix of both? Something else entirely? Thank you!

Take outside, dust with compressed air. Just tape down the fans so they don't spin. Alternatively, you should have dust filters which can just be hoovered.

@Neweniyalord
I'd suggest PMing a mod with that question. Preferably a mod you've seen post in Naniwa's fanclub or the fanclub section in general. Although there may be no solution.

Some motherboards are compatible with multiple speeds of Ram(?) Is it possible to use 2 different speeds?

Does anyone have the Razer Moray+ and can tell me if the microphone is any good? In the tests I found noone really looks at the mic quality and it's quite important to me.

It's possible to use RAM that is rated for different speeds, but all the RAM will have to run at the same speed, which is the speed of the slowest RAM.

Yes. If you are using them in a dual channel setup however, both dimms will run at the speed of the slowest dimm. So it's best to configure them so that the same speed dimms are in the same colored RAM slots.

I will soon be ordering a motherboard, graphics card and a processor (intel) . My current computer has AMD.

Where can I take my computer for someone to install the motherboard ? Is this usual? Do people install them themlselvs, I am just a little afraid of installing it myself, I think its a bit tricky, and i dont want to mess anything up. (never done any hardware change) lol .

Thank you ! , open to any advice

You can find plenty of online videos of how to build a computer, I suggest the newegg how to build a pc guide on youtube. It's fairly easy, all the parts only fit into 1 spot.

Changing the motherboard is as simple as unplugging everything from the mobo, unscrewing it, and screwing the new one and plugging the things all back in.

One thing I've wondered for a long time and never figured out by myself: Is there a way to see if a user is online (a.k.a logged in with browser open) on teamliquid?

Core i5 2500k (processor)
Asrock P67 Pro3 (motherboard)
GTX 550 (graphics card)

but i read some places that i would need to overcloack ? mi actual computer isnt that great..(amd computer, it was about 420 dollars ) .

why would i need to overcloak? i mean i know it would make it faster, but will i have to? and if i do how much of a power supply do u think i need to have?

..kinda makes me think on just getting a new computer, lol I am quite confused

(My goal is to stream sc2 in a good quality , with no lag whatsoever. and my upload speed is 3mb so i think thts alright , just my computer sucks as of now)

K suffix processors have an unlocked multiplier aka made for overclocking. If you're not going to overclock than don't waste your money and get a core i5 2500 with a h67 motherboard instead.
