Heres my drama. Im at work so forgive my brain and lack of specifics.
I got for xmas... an E6600 and an ASUS P5NSLI. I had some DDR2 PC4200 Kingston ram, but its Kingston Value ram, and totally rubbish.
The problem is i cant overclock the system more than 10%. Ive got a gigabyte GPower cooler and the cores run at 35 degrees idle, 43 degrees when they're busting a ball at 10% overclocked.
I know the board isnt best for overclocking but c'mon, people are still getting 3.2ghz on similar setups, i barely go as fast as an e6700.
Is it the ram speed falling over on me?
