    I think I've reached the max on the cpu with 2938.5 @ 1.63v. I'm about 8 hours deep in prime95 so it's lookin good. I'm about to test the RAM after this which is gonna be the tough part. I got two 20mm fans directly on top of the sticks. I'll probably change them to the yellow slots, too, cause I hear those ones are better for high voltage. What's your HTT on that RAM, casecutter?
    I run my ram no higher than 261MHz, no matter what HTT. With the dividers I run for overclocking, I tend to use about a 320HTT. Then in A64Tweaker, I set the ram divider to 150MHz to keep it under 261MHz. I havew honestly had a rough time figuring out all the dividers to get this thing remotely stable when I OC it. Get some bigger fans for that ram. I mean alot bigger. I use two 60MM fans. They are not high speed, they are only about 20CFM each and are very quiet. They just move a larger volume of air over the entire ram area. Anyhow, good job and hope it is going well!
