Hi All
I want to O/C this because it is getting sluggish with games and I think I am not getting the best from my 2Gb OCZ DDR2 PC2-8500 Reaper HPC Edition Dual Channel kit (5-5-5-15) the set up I have is not giving me any POW factors. Got a good cooler on the CPU too.

This mobo I can't understand what is what and where. So if someone has O/C this mobo that would be helpful

Below is a "long summary" from Everest of my spec etc. Many Thx for help and advice in anticipation.
Can we get this to move?

thx oldphart :)
I am happy I have something tangible to work with. I'll start over the w/end and post the results. Many thx again and Bled I think the 7900gs will be changed in the near future and perhaps a quad with over clocking in mind for more umph and less bucks.
regards

Been running your recommends and it seems fine. Temp is a steady 50-55 which I guess is not ideal but no re-boots or crashes. I appreciate knowing what is what on the mobo now so big thx.
