hi guys.
im struggling to get satble overclocks on this system so looking for some advice. i can only seem to get AI overclock at 5% stable and manual i can only achieve about 3ghz too. (stock is ~2.83 ghz IIRC) stepping is E0
am i better to get an ATI motherboard (just bought a 6950 flashed to 6970) not using the nforce chipset (seems to be the thing holding me back) or just buy a better CPU heatsink/fan?
if so can anyone give me some ideas for a hsf/new motherboard. maybe a crossfire one for future proofing myself.
also just looked at some water cooling. would £70 get me the 4ghz or would i need other stuff too? my case is ok with a 120mm exhaust fan at the rear near the CPU
cost is a factor as my son is due september so i can spend much on toys these days
cheers gurus!
