Need Help With Overclocking

[Loman]

Well, i've already installed another motherboard. A G31.

I haven't tried to overclock it yet, cos windows are throwing a fit because of the mobo change.

My new HDD will be here shortly and once all that is done i'll give overclocking a go.

same here, just upgraded to an ASUS P5QC. I had my Bootsect.bak on a seperate hard drive to the windows one (don't ask), and the next time I try get it operational it doesn't accept it. fortunately i did a vista backup a few days before and was able to download winimage. could get my documents and all that back without having to do a restore.

100% Loman...at least that answers your question you originally posted.

Cool....have fun on your G31

Thanx i'll try. Perhaps i should have spent a few extra $$$ and bought a better one.

[twinscythe12332]

if it suites your needs, do you really need to?

[Loman]

You're right, i don't. Just wanted to try it out. But i reckon if you build a rig with overclocking in mind then a good motherboard is a must.

Yeah, that's exactely what I had in mind when I decided to build my first rig, coz I got tired of

So I grabbed

Asus P5N-D mobo
Thermalatke Bigwater 735i watercooler (GPU'sX2 and CPU)
Thermaltake Aquabay (Temp censor - runs around 35C)
OCZ Platinum Rev2 800Mhz 4Gb Ram(4-4-4-12 / 2.1v)
Q6600 Quad Core 2.4 stock (OC'ed to 3.4GHz) 1.35v
Alien Chassis (4X80mm & 1x120mm fans) Blue light led's
250 Gig Western Digital HDD
250 Gig Seagate HDD
2X SLI 8800GTX Ultra in SLI
Samsung BW19" wide LCD (DSub)
Phillips 37" Full HD 1080p LCD (HDMI)
Creative Extreme Audio Soundblaster 24bit 8 channel soundcard
Creative T7900 7.1 digital Surround
G7 Logitech Gaming wireless mouse and keyboard

all together around R45 000....

It's fun...will have to upgrade one day...but should run most app's for a couple of years...
