Dont waste your time overclocking your vid cards, you are completely cpu bound, and overclocking will do zip except heat your system up. I have a feeling even the extreme cpus are not enough to get full power out of these vid cards. It...

Decided I need more storage. Selling 2 low hours (less than 6 months of time) Raptor X 150G drives. These have the clear window. Bare drives perfect for raid 0 setup. Looking for this stuff in trade: 750GB or 1TB HDD's Socket 939...

When people refer to a PLL, I assume you are talking about a PHASED LOCK LOOP. Am I wrong? BigTymer

if you peak through to the fangui you will see the peak temp showing as 39 degrees while running a full benchmark and getting 10K+ on 3dmark05. I wasnt benching temps, just my rig, but thought the pic might be interesting.
