Read that and follow the testing procedure. Before you do that, though, put a better northbridge cooler on your board. Really, you can NOT expect a good measure of stability unless you swap that aluminum monstrosity off of your board.
well i think so far its not going to bad... what do you think? this is with the 'aluminum monstrosity' on my board still!!!
i might be changing the board (or just buying another one) to get myself the latest C1 stepping, the 8rd3a+... which im told by bigben2k that it will be garenteed..
oh thank you for the overclocking advice, i will be looking through that with a great eye to see what i need or will need.. oh by the way guys im only using a falcon rock cooler in a xaser 2 case, is a 45C temp ok at full load? (i do live in england so that might help a little... )
