Quick question

[Timaphillips]

When you OC your CPU from BIOS do you have to do that every time you restart your computer or is it something that stays once you set it? Thanks.

It stays. CMOS stands for "Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor which acts a memory. Think of it this way. If you overclock too high your computer doesn't post each time you turn it on becuase it's trying to load the settings you put it at that are too high. Anyway point being, it's stays until you clear it or change it.

No, the CMOS will save the BIOS settings and keep your overclock every time you start your comp. Have fun ocing.

Next up is getting a mobo that will OC. I'm hearing some promising results from the D's.

 

[reggie_da_man]

Is this for your Pentium D? DFI's are really good for both platforms.

 

[Timaphillips]

Yeah, for the D 820. I'm upgrading to Conroe regaurdless in August probably, but I was just curious in the meantime as I will probably OC the 2.4 Ghz one instead of paying so much for the 2.6. I was leaning towards Asus though.

ASUS is good wth Intel but not AMD IMO. Go ASUS if you want.
