OpenSUSE Hardware :: Why Upgrade Hardware When Can Overclock Pc
Jul 25, 2010
placed for the decision to by a quad intel processor with more speed i was searching the internet for a 3ghz quad as i stumbled on a artikel saying overclock a q6600 from 2.4 to 3.0 ghz in 30 seconds I only had to set the frontbus speed to 1333 and vcore to 1.325 memory 800 / 8 gb had to be set to dram=1.9 ht=1.3 nb=1.3 sb=1.3
Speedup the videocard i set the pcie to 124 mhz And all is running rocksolid ..... video and vlc video 3 tab on google-chrome i had a load off 13% on the cpu's no video problems what so ever and no overheating no more as 49degr C Total cost 0 $ and 10 minutes editing the bios and some reboots.
I recently switch from Windows 7 to Ubuntu 10.04 and then to 10.10. When I had Windows 7 running I was overclocking via manual settings in my BIOS. I am almost positive I had the same overclocking settings in my BIOS when I had 10.04 as well.
For some reason though when I use the same settings with 10.10 it tries to but up, but it just says it will restart in 30 seconds. I have no idea why. I know the overclock is stable as I have been using it for a year or more. This seems to just happen when I got 10.10.
I am looking for an app that behaves like CPU-Z for windows, because I am desperately wanting to overclock my CPU. However, I don't want to do it without a CPU monitor that monitors heat/clockspeed/voltages/etc.
I recently purchased a replacement CPU & motherboard and, with a grand after-market CPU heatsink and fan, was able to create a stable overclocked system of 3.8/3.9GHz (from a stock of 3.2GHz).
However, when I run, say, Code: Select alllscpu, Code: Select allcpuid (after installing said package) or Code: Select allless /proc/cpuinfo it only lists the stock speeds of 3.2GHz.
What would be the best way within my operating system to view my current clock speeds?
I am trying to get a stable overclock on my processor and if it's not set to exactly 3.2GHz or 2.66GHz (stock clock) I get this message. Using sysinfo, the OS does not register over 3.2GHz even when I have it clocked @ > 3.2
All the google searches and bug reports seem to talk about sound problems and webcam issues being the cause, but I've had this problem since I switched to Ubuntu and have not yet found a resolution.
Now I have never done this "Overclocking" stuff, It seems like it would be of great use. My laptop isn't in any way good in those departments. Thus I want to try and upgrade them, the cheap way.
i want to upgrade to 11.2, however, i am very cautious about losing my files. there are files on this system which i absolutely can not afford to lose, and they are only on this system. which method of upgrade will be the best, best as in safest.
I tried to upgrade my KDE to new version (om this moment it's 4.4.2) in many ways.The result is the same:KDE updated, BUT not worked sound (error message for my sound card) and KDE (ConsoleKit error).Which best way to upgrade KDE to 4.4.2/4.4.1 on openSuse 11.2 and how you did that?
I finally got around to fully switching to openSUSE 11.3 from Kubuntu, while enjoying it very much, I'd love to install KDE 4.5. Following the instructions at How-To: Upgrade to KDE 4.5 | SUSE!!) I get messages like
I wish to upgrade my desktop, KDE 4.3.5, mainly because of some limitations in AmaroK. Upgrading just Amarok through the KDE update app repo is no good as I loose the scrobbling Last.fm option. So, I just wonder if Last.fm works fine with KDE 4.4.4 on OpenSuSE 11.2? And when I am on to it, if there are some general reasons to upgrade further, 4.5 or perhaps 4.6?
how do you upgrade to KDE 4.7? I'm pretty new to openSUSE (installed it last weekend) and have never had to upgrade before, so I don't know the ropes. The KDE website says that there is a 1-click install available, but the link doesn't work:Binary packages Some Linux/UNIX OS vendors have kindly provided binary packages of KDE 4.7.0 for some versions of their distribution, and in other cases community volunteers have done so.Currently pre-compiled packages are available for:openSUSE packages are available for openSUSE 11.4 (one-click install), for openSUSE 11.3 (one-click install), and openSUSE Factory (one-click install).That copy+paste comes from the bottom of KDE - KDE 4.7.0 Info PageI've looked for 4.7 in the yast repos and tried to do some stuff through zypper but I can't figure it out. I know it only came out yesterday, but it should be possible and stable, right?
I had installed the KDE 4.7 packages through repository listed below, The first thing is windows sometimes refused to minimized when I click on window name on task manager and second thing is when update kernel to 3.0.0.9 via kernel repository it completely fail to boot and logout automatically while now I upgrade kernel to 3 without any problem on KDE 4.6. Because of many improvment in KDE 4.7 especially in multi media that let me run the XBMC (It crash with my current KDE 4.6) I've to upgrade to 4.7. Any advice?

I have another question, Is this way correct to installing ATI proprietary driver?
su sh ./ati-driver-installer-11-4-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg SuSE/SUSE-autodetection Install the generated package zypper in fglrx* aticonfig --initial Reboot your computer shutdown -r now
I keep getting the following msg as I try to upgrade from 10.04 -> 10.10 ... "Could not calculate the upgrade An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade: E:Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages. This can be caused by:
* Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu * Running the current pre-release version of Ubuntu * Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu
If none of this applies, then please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the files in /var/log/dist-upgrade/ in the bug report." I don't think any of the issues above apply - can anyone offer advice on how to get around or "force " the upgrade
I upgraded the KDE version on a new installation of 11.1 on another computer and everything went fine. But today I tried upgrading my computer from 4.2 to 4.3.5 with the one click installer, and in addition to having many dependency issues that I thought I got figured out, everything is messed up on my desktop. I still have the 4.2 panel, and my background is messed up (the background I had set has been replaced with a checker pattern), the lizard icon for the application menu is just a grey circle with a play button, all of my icons and my desktop folder that used to be on the desktop are gone, and nothing is showing in the system tray.
There are two sets of repos for 4. One is stable and the other is Factory. On the repos page it says this about kde 4.4 Factory: "These repositories feature the KDE packages under development for the upcoming openSUSE release and includes openSUSE specific patches". For reasons that are somewhat involved and that I won't go into right here I am stuck in openSUSE 11.0 and can't upgrade until I get a new machine which will be some time. Is Factory unfinished and will Kde 4.4 Factory work well in 11.0?
I am using Banshee 1.6 (beta 2) 1.5.1. I'm actually interested in is getting the Amazon mp3 extension to work, and I don't see this extension in my current version of Banshee. I tried to upgrade & ended up wiping my whole hard drive & had to re-install 11.2 but I'm sure that was my inexperience more than anything else.
I'm not sure of the proper procedure to upgrade any particular package on 11.2 actually. I just leave them alone & it works great. I could add the Banshee repo (which I have not done) but even if I uninstall 1.6 which I have now, and then re-install the newer app from the repo, it will not work. It says it installs properly (I know this from yesterday) but the program doesn't show up in the menu.
How do I upgrade the kernel to 2.6.35 in openSUSE 11.3 x64? Do I add: Index of /repositories/Kernel:/HEAD/openSUSE_Factory to yast and switch system packages from that repo?
After an upgrade to 11.3 my openoffice will not start anymore.Starting with soffice in terminal gives:~> sofficeterminate called after throwing an instance of 'com::sun::star::uno::RuntimeException'
I recently upgraded from openSUSE 11.0 to 11.3. I had a backup archive before the upgrade and wanted to make another one today. I can't because the destination external hard drive is only 500gb. The Yast backup said I had over 300 tb to back up! - which can't be since the physical hard drive is only 40gb. So I attempted to do the same thing from the command line and got the same result.
I started going through the directories, looking at properties. I found that /proc and /var/lib/ntp show 128 tb of unknown and unreadable data.
Since I upgraded to openSUSE 11.3 the Encrypt option no longer shows up when I right click on a file. How do I get it back? GnuPG2 shows to be installed. I can decrypt files by double clicking on them and entering the passphrase.
