    Yep that was the answer, think I'll have to post the image into elements, my damn vision master pro is annoying trying to change brightness easily, and a too white screen hurts my eyes.

    Very nice overclock daza!

    Can I ask when & where you bought your E6400 from (I'm trying to decide which places have stock of good OC CPU's) ?

    If possible, can you take the BIOS pics as native PNG or RAW converted to PNG (rather as JPG or JPG->PNG).

    My camera only does jpeg unfortunately, and it is flakey in low light, should have a different one soon, just need to get some cash together, hopefully next week.

    A minor correction to make is that early on you mention you're going to use an E6600 to demonstrate with, but the CPUZ screenshot later shows an E4300. I have a habit of noticing things like this

    Also, I came across the following thread on another forum which discusses the relative pros/cons of using TAT for stress testing. Effectively, TAT is the most extreme form of CPU stress testing possible (due to it "exercising" all transistors) and so if used you should not be too worried with higher than normal temps (eg. up to 70C). It is a good test of your cooling solution(s), along with being handy for hot/cold burn-in cycles (eg. to bed in thermal compound). One of it's design goals was apparently to test the throttling mechanisms of CPU's (particularly notebook CPU's)

    TAT is listed as one of the tools to download. TAT will give you around 20% more heat than you would generate with something like orthos.

    The E4300 thing is in hand. I did some shots with the E6600 beofre I got rid, but I couldnt find them.

    How are you guys saving Clunk's overclocking guide.........There is no point trying to keep coming back to Hexus for reference, to use it in the beginning of overclocking with crashes etc

    Can't print direct from Hexus? Is there some sorta of blocking by Hexus, copywrite and all that or is it my printer? Have tried copy and paste into word and that didn't work no images.

    I had no problem printing out the first page. You can also save the first page with IE, however if someone could make this guide as PDF then that would be nicer

    I did it in open office, but there isnt any pics in the file, just tables, but I suppose I could add them. PDF would probably be the best though.
