No shit Sherlock, tell me about it.
A few suggestions...
-Fit an external "Clear CMOS" switch. Saves a bunch of time over jumpering the lil bastard.
-Make good notes...things can get confusing real fast.
-Test your results constantly to see the practical results of your chosen approach. I use Everest as a quick and easily reproducable method of comparing the effects of my setup.
For instance, with my RAM I can hit 2.8GHz by simply upping the HTT to 255 and changing CAS from 2 to 2.5 (i'm at 11x255, 2.5,3,2,5 @1T now). This gives me better Everest results than going 9x312 which requires loosening the RAM timing to 3,3,3,8 (or thereabouts). The RAM tests start to improve again around 3GHz, but then I risk corrupting my RAID array.
It's a real balancing act.

your cpu runs at 38*C full load? wow that's pretty nice with air cooling, right now mine will push about 43*C full load, kinda bothers me a bit, am adding another fan this weekend, if that displeases me i'll just take a look at your heatsink :)

Hahahaha, don't make me laugh.
My old computer used to push 85 degrees Celcius .... idle. But then again that was in the summer.

T'was bad, but no LP it wasn't an Intel, it was an AMD :O the heatsink on that thing sucked big time. After realizing that my room was boiling hot (I never used to turn my comp. off) I got one of those diagnostic program thingies, forgot what it's called but it checked the fan speed and temp of your CPU. 85 degree Celcius idle :stars:

AMD CPUs burn at that temp. They don't survive at 85 C. Fact.
Maybe an Intel can take that kind of heat, but an AMD? that's just not very believable.:ermm:
