One Heck of an Overclock

[96redformula]

Well this is top notch yet worst overclocking headache I have ever had. This DFI Ultra-D is a SUPER PICKY board that will change it's mood with every setting change. I got the cpu/mobo in yesterday afternoon and have been working at the overclock ever since, besides 6-11 for work. I am very pleased with the results especially that I got the combo for $240 at monarch including a heatsink. I still have yet to fine tune the options, it is 100% stable for super pi, all 3dmark's, and memtest so far. I was also pissed that my Thermaltake 420power supply would not work since it was only a 20pin. ALSO HUGE NOTE: DO NOT BUY ANTEC smartpower 2.0 500W, it has 2 fans, the inside one bearly pushed air, and the rear one will turn on when it deems necessary, which has been never(caused case temp to rise).

Nice, but SuperPi is nothing. You need to Prime that baby to see if she's really stable. In most cases if you fail Prime, bump the voltage. Although with blend tests, it's also the memory sometimes. BTW, I have an Antec SmartPower 500W and a DFI Lanparty Ultra-D (which I haven't had any problems with) and my cpu temps at least are phenominal! 25C idle and 40C load.

Edit: What I'm implying is maybe something's wrong with the fans on YOUR psu.

CPU temp is awsome, it is the case temperature and the temp on my 7800gt that went up.
