Crusty01 - thanks for your reply. I've since gone back and restarted from scratch following the Quick recpie. I set mem to 166 and started CPU-LDT at 230 then climbed up by 2 each time. Started failing Prime95 within 2 minutes at CPU-LDT 240. Backed down to 238 and pass 12 hour Prime95 test. I bumped it down -2 and have been running at 236 now. I'm not seeing however any great noticible speed/responsivness difference between running default at 2000 or OCed 2360. I don't game. SuperP1 beanchmarks show only 1.5 minute improvement to complete a 32M test when OCed. Temp when OCed increases by 11 degrees F at load. max load temp is 115F. Not sure if I'm going to leave the system OCed. Since performace gain wasn't all that evident I'm inclined to
go back to default 2000 speed and run the system as cool as possible.
