Nice to see a (1t) there on the mem. Not all S775 boards have that ability.

Are you interested in playing a bit to see if you can get more bandwidth out of your memory?

Most reports suggest that running memory @ 1-1 (533) offers the best bandwidth with the c2ds.

If your board will support FSB of 450, a cpu multi of 7 would give you a slightly higher cpu freq (3150), but the benefits of running the mem @ 1-1 are supposedly significant.

Always fun to try :)

I've been reading that my RAM will behave strangely with different voltages (it's rated for 1.4 volts). I'll try to push the RAM and see if 1:1 gives a hit.

Starting to gain a little more confidence with the OC - fun :)

Haven't been able to get the RAM running at 1066 yet.

11,000 3DMarks on the horizon though :)

My vid card seems to want to OC quite abit more but the temps scare me. Are temps over 70 degrees wise for a 8800GTS?

hey Jay,

What are you using to keep your CPU cool?

I'm using a Scythe Ninja Rev B and the fan that came with it with AS Ceramique for TIM. I've liked it's cooling ability but the huge size of thing is a pain as it covers my RAM slot #1. I also hate the "clip on" system it uses for the fan as I could not setup the fan to run in "pull" mode as the fan blades would contact the heatsink fins and thus I was forced to use a "push" setup and that covers RAM slot 1.

Push that 8800GTS some more.

I got mine at 675/1030 on stock air. I'm sure you can get near it or better.

Can you get CoreTemp and then post your idle/load temperatures?

Here it is.
I'm not familiar with Coretemp but my ambiant is about 23 degrees and the idle temp is lower than ambiant?
Don't know how that can be...
