While we are on the subject, 3DMark 05 is good bench mark. It will bring a high end OEM system to its knees. If you want to see what you have, run the mark and compare it to about position 10 on down. Above 10 and your against some tough tweaking and custom OS�s

Well, there you have it. I have been pwned. So, I'll strap on my bib, and eat my humble pie. Listen to Thermodyne, he obviously knows what he is talking about when it comes to overclocking a comp.

Frankly OCing a comp is not something I am very interested in doing, so I have never really done any real research into it. I guess this is what I get when I relay second hand info from someone who I thought knew something about the trade.

Lesson learned. Never climb out on a limb unless you have personally checked to see if it is stable. In the future I'll personally research anything I choose to give advice on.

I'd like to think, however, that when I do have more knowledge than others I would use it to help people out rather than to lord my superiority over them. It is too bad that manners and knowledge aren't a package deal.

And let that be a lesson to you!

Indeed. ��

Na......Not pwned.....I'm not into all that. It was just a good aggressive debate.

A good old google search will do wonders for debates like this.

I was thinking of getting this one, because not only could I put my beer on top of my PC to keep it nice & chilled, but I could use my PC cooling system as colateral for a mortgage.

Seriously though....

...you should get some better cooling for it. The best air cooling is still a Swifty pin sink with a Delta. You can quiet it down by going with a 120mm fan and an adapter.

I haven't been able to find what you're talking about anywhere. Linky?

Swifty

Go to the MCX64-V under heatsinks

Thanks! Think I've got me a proper system now, so all that's left is to appropriate the funding for it. Actually, I already have the funding for it, what I need to do is get my *** a job so that I don't have to use my savings to stay afloat. And spending two grand on a new computer when you're jobless is just not a good idea. Unless you've got way more money than I do, anyway.

Could you shrink the link? Thanks.
