Current Rig is showing its age and keeps locking up randomly..

I don't know whats causing it.. the chipset fan is borked but i have over 300+ cfm of air going through my case and it should cool it sufficiently.


at the moment i have..

X2 4400+ @ 2805 Mhz
Scythe Ninja Cpu cooler
Sapphire X1950 XTX 512mb
DFi Lanparty Ultra D Mobo
2 x 74GB WD Raptors in raid 0
2GB of geil value ram
XFi xtreme music soundcard
Enermax Liberty 620w PSU


I need..

A new cpu ?
New Mobo ?
New Ram ?

and i think i will get a new Thermaltake Armour super tower because they are huge and my Tsunami Dream is rather cramped.


Please spec me the best stuff, i'm after a Core 2 Duo chip thats the best clocker :p

and the best clocking Mobo :D

Thanks in advance guys :)

i would have recommended the crucial balistix 5300, but after purchacing this my self and it not going over 930 5-5-5-15 atm, i will go with said ram

this cpu will clock like hell on this board which is a great clocker
 
The Chipset cooler ?

I'm not actually sure if thats the problem right now.. i think ATi Tool might be causing my pc to crash.


Because since i've closed it. Its not crashed.

Also, when i loaded up steam and the clicked on ATi Tool my pc locked up.


This is with the pc completely stock.
 
i wouldnt go with the 965 chipset now the p35 is out, you will probably want to be future proof from the new intels and ddr3.

Click to expand...

The p35 is a great chipset...good for overclocking and performs QUITE well...but choosing the DDR3 version would be a mistake IMO....the current DDR3 modules are quite expensive and perform like S***
