I've found a Core i7 guide, but I'm looking for an AMD one. I seem to recall you guys saying that AMD systems weren't as simple to overclock.
What do you need to do to overclock and Athlon II?

Thanks in advance. ]]> Magazine Discussion l3v1ck http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?t=178868 http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?t=178593&goto=newpost Sun, 22 Nov 2009 19:57:10 GMT In this months mag the msi 770-c45 pcb in the pic on p111 is black not red.

in the new issue i've received today, 3 out of the 4 category PC's have 2 or 3GB of RAM as recommendation.

budget recommended a couple 2GB dominator
mid-priced gaming recommended some fast, but expensive 2GB OCZ.
performance PC recommended some cheap 3GB corsair.

in these times and days, surely 4GB and 6GB are the standard. why would anyone pair an ultra-fast e8400 with only 2GB of RAM? :wallbash:

2GB of RAM is what people used to use back in 2007, and 4GB is what people are using in 2008. in 2009, we should be moving on to 8GB and beyond.

Do the Custom PC media bench marks run on Windows 7 x64 ??
I'm pretty sure there were problems with Vista X64 when it came out. ]]> Magazine Discussion angel_dust http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?t=177794 http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?t=177625&goto=newpost Wed, 04 Nov 2009 22:35:37 GMT Thanks for playing guys!

Just a quick reminder that the TF2 Readers Night is tomorrow, the 4th of November.

It starts at 9PM GMT, but there's usually people on the server from 8/8:30pm.

It's always a good laugh, all abilities welcome.

Join the 'Custom PC' group on Steam for all the server info and to get an auto-reminder when it's about to start.

Hope to see you there :thumb:

I posted this in the Gaming section as well, just to catch everyone. ]]> Magazine Discussion roblikesbeer http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?t=177560 http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?t=177439&goto=newpost Sun, 01 Nov 2009 15:30:39 GMT On the about page, it only talks about the B-T staff, and I'd quite like to drop you guys an email so could you either make a post detailing contact info in this part of the forum, or add it to the About page of the website?

Thanks. ]]> Magazine Discussion azzybish http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?t=177439 http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?t=177420&goto=newpost Sun, 01 Nov 2009 01:57:39 GMT Hi there, a few months ago, CPC (which I can't get hold of in NZ) published something about the Mac-Killer
Bit-tech too published a Mac-killer article in July
I borrowed a copy of "ATOMIC - maximum power computing" from a friend, the August edition (presumably published in July) has their own article which is almost a carbon copy of Bit-tech's online copy

I read the fine print and Atomic mag is in the Dennis Publishing umbrella

Just wondering, is atomic mag a rename of the CPC mag? or does Bit-tech/CPC have any affiliation to Atomic aside from Dennis publishing?

Thank you, I'm just a person who thinks BT/CPC > Atomic.
