e4300 @3.575 gigs
2 gigs ram
windows vista business
evga 680i

are you serious? i can't get this thing past 2.7 and im sad. then again im still learning how to overclock this setup..last setup was opteron 146 that i had at 2.9ghz..i swear this system is slower...

That's true but i'm waiting on the E4400.

I bought a 4300 on the Frys deal. I have a Biostar P965 and 6300 that runs stable at 7*510=3570Mhz(on water cooling setup). The 4300 chip I bought was a poor performer; It would only clock to 3100 and would freeze up anything above that. I tried different multipliers with no luck. It was only Orthos stable to about 3000.
Since the Frys deal also does not work with the MB they packaged with it out of the box, I returned it.

At 3.2ghz for all of the cpus at around 1.375v (which most seem to do it at) it has doubled nearly to 120watts. Low ed water coolers cool to a range of 125watts. Higher end onse around 175-200watts.
at 3.5-3.6ghz where most need 1.46-1.5v we are at 161watts. This is a stretch on most air cooling period....
For comparison my QX6700 at 3.5ghz with 1.42v is 189watts
To get 3.6ghz stable it needs 1.5v actual (1.6v set in bios) is 217watts...Makes my chilled water break its knees...

(1) How can I check how much watts my system is drawing?
(2) What effect does the increased wattage/power/cooling have on my OC?

my 4300 is a very poor performer as well(from frys). I cant get past 325fsb...but maybe its the gigabyte s3? Maybe I will give a e6300 a shot and biostar. How can one tell if the FSB wall is a mobo issue or a cpu issue?

1) Go here... http://extreme.outervision.com/psucalculator.jsp
2)It is variable but they all have effects. Undersize power supply will limit your OC and possibly make the system flaky if it is close to the edge. Cooling for the most part has little effect on system power draw since it is often just a fan, but water cooling and chilled water with the pumps will have additional draws....

Is that 1.43v actual or BIOS setting? Do you have any way to check your vdroop? You may have more room for voltage than you think if your board droops a good amount. Still, 3.25Ghz doesn't sound too bad. If you want, try lowering the multiplier by 1 and raising the FSB up. A few of the initial reports said these things like high FSB, so that may make a difference. It's worth a try.
