AHHHHHHH

Back at home and on my own machine again.....
What a wonderful feeling

Anyways,

I dont necessarily "hate" Sparkle PSU's; I just hate this one I mean wouldn't you find it annoying that you cant turn on your computer 40% of the time you want to turn it on? Also it was very possile that I was overpowering the unit considering all the stuff I have in this thing. Well that problem was taken care of with the new Enermax EG651V unit I just put in ( MUCH quieter tooo!!)

I have yet to get my chipset cooling parts yet so no luck there. AS for going to CAS 3; dont like it. Most bench marks that I have seen show that a slower FSB @ CAS2 is much better than say FSB+15mhz @ CAS3. Trying to stay with CAS2 as you can see. I just hope that it is not my RAM that is holding me back.

Will be in touch once chipset waterblock arrives.

Thanks again for the info.
