Hey out there - i just built a new machine with the following goodies:
Intel Q9300 with Noctua Thermal Compound
Xigametek HDT Cooler
Gigabyte GA-EP35-DS3R with F3E BIOS
Vista 64 home premium (I am thinking this is a problem)
Maxtor SATA 3GB/sec Hard Drives
Samsung DVD-RW
XFX 9600GT XXX 700MHz
4GB PC8500 Ballistix
Corsair TX750W PSU
Antec 900 Hundred Case (4x 120mm Fans)
CORE TEMP
105
55
58
55
51
I am unable to overclock any amount - BIOS or the provided Windows software. I have been reading articles saying they are getting 3.2-3.4 without even touching any voltage settings.
I am just about to re-install the CPU due to the inconsistent temps.
Help.
