AS5 you'll be happy with in 200 hours??? Break in time?

The DFI SLI DR is amazing mobo, even though i only got one and sold it too they are wow

The Opty 144 i got one here and never used it but i now hate it due to cold bug stepping Lost me on that one?

OCZ ram i have the 1Gb 512mb x2 and i got them on my intel right to 263 mhz fsb @ 2.65v 2.5-rest where pretty tight if i remeber rightly...i took a peak at them and they are TCC5 That's good isn't it?.

My poor little brain is hurting so much from reading the gazillion overclocking guides on the net i'm sure it's leaking out of my ears!! lol

Is there any particular guides that you would recommend me to have a gander at?

Thanks

Everything has now been recieved, checked, installed and checked with and hour of prime 95 for stability.

Now onto the fun overclocking stuff!!

Will update with news as and when

 

[Sagi3]

Currently have a 35% increase from 1.8 G - 2.4 with standard volts and a cpu temp of 40

Still pushing though. What kind of speeds could i expect?

 

[Sagi3]

2.6 stable 2.7 unstable Gonna up the volts to the CPU now and see what happens. Still a 45% increase from stock not a bad result.

Will let you all know what happens
