    CPU cooling: Thermalright 120 Ultra eXtreme (lapped) with S-Flex 120, 1600RPM.

    Case cooling: Two Silverstone 120 fans that came with the case & two Noctua 1200s, one for the HDDs and one on the top drawing air out.

    What are you using to measure those temps? They look extremely good for an air-cooled system.

    CoreTemp, I'm kinda surprised myself, I guess lapping both HSF & CPU helped alot.

    @ badass, your temps are far too high even for the stock cooler, check to see if the cooler is installed properly, those push clips can be difficult sometimes.

    Its not prime95 crashing as such its windows running out of memory and closing the program, seems to happen when theres no page file enabled, like me.


    Just started up the torture test now with v-core at 1.45, mem at 2.26 and north bridge at 1.44v so fingers crossed it should pass this time and not be interrupted by stupid xp,

    And if she dont pass this time Ill go back to 3.2ghz which I had stable for 12hrs.

    So, its not prime95 crashing, its XP, but it only does it when prim95 is running

    Denial, its a terrible thing

    What Air coolers are available that use screws and are near the Tuniq Tower 120 in terms of cooling performance?
    Does anyone know if the Tuniq Tower 120 uses screws?

    Aye. Daza, try turning on virtual memory and then stress testing it. You have too many variables in your equation.

    Well she got to 9hrs stable last night without a problem before xp shut it down I have the results to prove it so pffft.

    Will find out in 12hours if cpu is stable, and the memory should be as its only running 74mhz over stock and Im putting an extra .9v through it.

    If shes stable tomorrow then Ill run another prime95 but focusing on the memory more, and she had the vm problem when the divider was stock and the memory was running at 266mhz or something.

    Denial don't have that problem just optimistic thoughts. lol.

    Exactly how much voltage are you putting through that memory?

    Daza, run your memory without a divider and with swap allocated. Once your CPU benches stable, then start playing with the other stuff.

    You are changing 3 different things, any one of which could cause your machine to lock up.

    So it runs at 1.3v normally? Seems pretty low, mine runs at 2.1v.

    Just kidding mate

    The only time that prime ever hangs on me, is when I'm using a lower multi, usually an 8x, dunno why either.

    I managed to kill 2 x ballistic tracers last night at the same time, and they werent even overclocked/overvolted..well, 1080Mhz 2.2v 4-4-4-12.

    The Tuniq Tower 120 uses screws with an X back plate.

    The Thermalright 120 ultra extreme is very good, but you have to buy a fan, adds to the already high cost.

    Oh another question, going for a 12hr stable run on the cpu as 74mhz (on the ram) is nothing these days, my +5v line has kinda crashed from 5.01v to 4.98v every now and then but stays on 5.01v most of the time.

    Is this likley to hurt performance at all or should I start looking for a new psu again.

    More edits, Can someone look at this ram (mine), and tell me what voltage it is supposed to be at stock as Im reading 2.3 here which I alot to zap them with Im sure I read 2.1 somewhere.Yup says 2.1v here

    I suppose it depends what chips they have on them. If d9, they will need more volts usually.

    Maybe different revisions had different chips, that would explain the conflicting reports?
