i have vantec aeroflow vp4-c7040 and two case fans next to it and according to abit eq temp on cpu doesnt go more than 45 celsius it runs nfs underground no problem i dun think its heat problem

 

[Bill_hater]

i got it cuz it looks a lot better than intel =P
well what would u suggest i get than and can i get some device which would measure my pcu temp better than motherboard?

 

[Bill_hater]

and also i was considering water cooling for my cpu...
do u know any good kit for under $100?

Get rid of the PC3200 You need at leat PC3500. Plus get bigger PSU.

What CPU core voltage are you using? Are you sure it's not a RAM problem? PC3200 usually doesn't run at PC4000 speed.

i use for clocking 1.75v core, but when i put 5:4 OR 4:5?cpu/memory i could get to 3.53ghz with vantec aeroflow and windows would boot up no problem so anyway ur right my memory sux.

to hell with bill!!!

Try cranking the memory voltage up to 2.75v and loosening the timings to 3-4-4-8. If that works to allow higher RAM speed, that's good! You can experiment further by increasing the voltage if needed, just make sure the DIMMs don't get too hot.

Have I picked on you yet for getting the IS7-E instead of the IS7 when the later only cost $10 more and gives you IEE1394 firewire and SATA RAID support?
