    Lower performance in games after overclocking CPU??

    hmm.. I'm running 1:1 (at fsb 380 my mem is 380, DDR2 760), do you see anything wrong? Also are there any bios options I have missed that could cause this to happen?

    Lower performance in games after overclocking CPU??

    hmmm but do you think it could affect the performance that much? e.g. In the same area in WoW, at 2.7GHz I get 53FPS, at 3.04 GHz I get 19FPS Thats like my FPS halved after OCed by an extra 300MHz :(

    Scythe Infinity compatibility on P5B-E?

    I've recently tried a Ninja Rev.B on my P5B-E and it does in fact fit, but the capacitors under the mount plate touches heavily and I think its causing the cooler to tilt a little and not have a proper contact (I was getting around 42 degrees C idle, which isn't high but compared to testing on...
