At least for me anything over 290 fails prime95 on core 0. I think I gave it 1.475 volts. Its a shame my MB doesn't have the 9/10 stepping because my ram can hit 270. It will boot but just not stable enough.

You are not going to get 266 on 2-2-2-5 settings. Loosing up the timings first and work your way back down.

Get the retail version of the Opty 165 and you get a good 4 pipe heatsink. It has a 80mm fan than spins at 2300 rpm.

My Benq is very quiet.

Something about 19" LCD's that bothers me is that the native resolution is the same as 17" monitors. Meaning you have the same number of pixels, just spread out farther. Spring for a 20" for 1600X1200 or just go back down to 17. My .02

Thanks, OP hope to get one. I pressed CHECKOUT and this message came up, "* You must purchase at least $0.79 worth of qualifying products to redeem this coupon." Oh well, we'll see.

I use air-conditioning filters, just cut them out. You can clean them or throw them out.

Does the OCZ fit the P180?

Thanks GalvanizedYankee, I am def going to check out the Akasa since BB fans seem to last longer and work better with the PWM MB headers. You use an 80mm Panaflo fan for your SI-120? Could I ask why you didn't put on a 120?

I too am looking for a fan for the SI120. I was looking at the Nexus or Scythe S-Flex for quiet operation. I am just wondering what protection people have from a heatsink fan failing while being plugged into a fan controller? Shouldn't I always use the motherboard to monitor fan speed? Since...

I was leaning towards the Zalman. Which one is better? My main thing is noise/performance ratio so I am looking for 120mm fan/heatsink solutions. I was originally going to get the Artic Cooling because of the rubber suspension but I don't like the idea of fans that don't blow down on the...
