It's pretty obvious overclocking a core that was disabled is the reason your system is crashing. Go ahead and buy a new PSU and see if that fixes this but I think its the CPU. Not all X3 720s allow overclocking unlocked CPUs for large workloads.

There's nothing a new stepping can't fix!

Get a quad core. It's the latest fad!

2.66 Ghz to 3.8 Ghz OC? Man that is really "crappy" OCing there!

That's not a typo. It's Intel "Core 2 Quad" processor

Thunder. Thunder. Thunderman! HO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Probably not. If the fan clip doesn't fit the mobo, then you'll have to buy another one or else you won't be able to hold it in place.

My CPU idles at 33C with load of 41C. This is with ambient temperature around 28C

45% isnt that loud. On the other hand, setting mine to 70% gets the jet engine started.

Something just dawned on me, part of the blame needs to go to AMD fanboy's saying X2 5000+/6000+ have better price for their performance when they should already know buying it NOW AMD is selling it for a loss while buying it a year or 2 ago, they would have made some profit, but the...

15 minutes? How are you even testing the parts? If the system turns on everything must be working!

So new performance level will be GTX 280->GTX260->9800GX2->4870->9800GTX->4850->8800GT. This is all based on slides provided by AMD and how the average performance GTX's are performing. So how is that disappoingint?

As you OC a card on rivatuner be sure your fan duty cycle is increased for proper cooling as well.

Well its not like ATI does a "top to bottom launch" like how Henri Richards once stated the 2000 series was supposed to be. Now all we saw that time was a delayed 2900XT and a 2900XTX that sank at launch.
