Prime stable for 24 hrs, full load 56oC after 24 hrs

Got it loading into windows at 1Ghz but prime would fail after a hr or so

Yes, but a quietpc 300w psu, is a quality psu. No way they couldn't cope with a GF4MX!!!!

to clarify it worked at stock with everything in it.
But when i was overclocking i put a old gfx card in to reduce the load on the psu as i suspected 300w wasnt enough to reach the speeds i wanted, when i switched to the GF4 (previously working) it didnt even post.
Put it all back to stock booted up fine.
So i came to the conclusion the PSU was to blame

i've got one of the old OcUK 800mhz durons that they guarenteed to 1 gig sat around here somewhere..

i could have taken it further but when i ran prime for prolongued periods of time the coolmaster wasnt up to the job (its in a media pc cage also) so it got too hot

(in my eyes unless its 24h prime stable, its not stable at all, personal preference etc)
I was going to mod a zalman aeroflower to fit a socket A but decided it was more effort than it was worth for a few extra Mhz
