You seem to be doing ok, so what's the issue?

Oh thanks for the reply,

I can't get it into windows beyond 2.54 and this is also on the stock cooler.

Temps are at 48degrees idle

Just started playing with this board myself:

Have you updated to the latest bios? That above shot is using a Scythe Infinity, absolutely incredible cooler.

Is it an easy cooler to fit? i.e. can I do it without removing the mobo?

Im having problems getting my e4300 past 3.0 Ghz, even though im running a AC Freezer Pro 7, and was looking at getting something better to see if that helps.

It was horrible to fit because it uses the horrible S775 pushpins, you can do it without removing the mobo, but its not simple and needs some force.
