    3.24 here on a P5B Deluxe. Load temp of 50C on Orthos. I can't get it any higher and it does appear to be cpu limited rather than anything else. Not great but not too bad either.

    Dual Prime 95 torture tests, not Orthos. Might have a mess around with it though as it seems popular on these boards.

    What voltage are you giving your RAM? I have the same kit but can't seem to get it to overclock a bit at 5-5-5-15 let alone your timings....

    An extra 92mm fan sat on the back of the CD drive tray.

    Sends cool air to the HSF..dropped quite substantially...and then applied AS5 to get a few extra degrees

    ..and it did work better than mx-1 before anyone says mx-1 is better lol

    Ram is at 2.1v

    I keep changing my clock on it... at 5-5-5-15 i was running 1000mhz

    at 4-4-4-12 its running 900mhz

    Seems to run nicer with the later clock.

    Thank you for that, interesting. I have put a quiet 120 on the front of my P180 in addition to the standard 3 120's so hopefully it is having an effect.
    Try to make each and every day the best it can be.
