Hi Folks, I'm going to be rebuilding my system into a new case later tonight (Corsair 600t).
I am also changing the old 74gb Raptor to a 64gb Vertex II and doing a clean install of win 7 64bit.
Have got a Corsair H60 I will be using with a Q9650 and an Asus Maximus Formula Mobo with 8gb DDR800.
Question is, once it's all rehoused and happy how long should I wait for the new thermal paste to set before working on the new overclock (aiming for 4-4.3 Ghz).
Also if possible could you pop up some settings for me to try out on the OC, Have had it up to 3.7Ghz stable but this was purely bumping up the FSB and using a Thermalright Ultima-90 Cooler.
SO with that in mind the last question is will there be much if any bottleneck on my XFX 5850 Black edition, Im going to guess no as to be honest I have never once thrown any game at this system it can't handle already at 1080p on Max settings.
