I have attempted this thread on another forum, but after trying a few things I am starting to think the problems I am having are related to the overclocking I did..or attempted at least.

Here is my first thread, contains some screen caps, system specs, 3DM scores etc.

If anyone has any ideas after reading through that, id appreciate the help. ;)

Well, as in the first thread..........What seems to be the problem?????

Your score is right in line with other comparable systems.

As mentioned in the other thread your HDD will slow down when fully loaded.
Download HD Tune and you can see what your HDD speed is.

If you feel you can get more out of your OC (as well), post Bios settings and we'll see what we can do.

Looked at your first thread again, yes you do have some problems.

You have DDR3-1333 ram running at 800

Set your Ram to specs 9-9-9-24 1.7V, then set FSB strap to 1200 for starts.

Test and see what that gets you.

Run the HD Tune benchmark on both of your HDD's. Your other HDD may be quicker (if its a newer 7200 RPM drive) than the older version Raptor you have.

Let us know.

Thats what I found after the HD Tests.

As for the RAM, i think that may be my problem...I cant push it past 800 in any way.

OK, little confused on WHY you can't run your Ram at over 800??

Did you change your Ram to the manufacturers specs and change the FSB strap??

Also a Velociraptor or another 500 GB in Raid 0 would help a little but not mandatory.

I am confused as well.

After taking a good look at that overclocking thread i decided to wipe everything i had tried and take a few pointers from that. First thing i did was reset and just set up the RAM, nothing else...but after about 10 minutes I crashed, after a few tries im still not having any luck trying to set the RAM frequency and timings myself.

Well, you generalize as to what you are doing. Without knowing what you are changing in YOUR BIOS I'm just poking and hoping.

If you would either post your BIOS settings (or a picture of your bios settings) we can try to help you.
