Hi,
Well I did it this time the wife is going to kill me for sure. By this time next week I should be receiving my Asetek Vapochill unit which just cost me $895.28. Looks like I need to go and fix my order at Newegg with some better ram.
I have one question now. Will the Abit Nf7-s do a 275 fsb stable. Thanks in advance.

Hi.
Ya I know the price is steep but in the end I ordered the Astek VapoChill Pebtium 4 Extreme Edition. So I should be able to break the 4 Ghz mark now. I just hope I can get my Radeon 9800 XT to atleast 450/400 stock cooling. Then I quess I will be happy. LOL (quess I will be happy at 4Ghz what am I thinking). The worst thing is when I look at how much money I've spent in the past month on computer parts everyone will thing I'm crazy (including my wife). Right now I'm around the $7,500 mark. All I can say is that thank god I have a very productive freelace career at the moment. Maybe I should just stop surfing the Internet that way I can save some money. Bye for now.

Hi,
Not to worry scottchen I'm not going with the vapochill on the Amd system. I did some more searching and ended up getting a nventiv mach II prometeia, a 3.2ghz plus a nice water and tec setup for my videocard and northbridge and I'll just put it in my current setup in my sig. Before anyone says anything like you rich son of a B&%ch. I work hard for my money, And yes I will admit I'm new to vapor cooling but the overclocking bug is hitting my hard. I'll post the results when everthing is up and running. Thanks for the info.
