please mention your mobo specs ? Oops...you've mentioned it. Sorry.

Efficiency of your PSU could save you some bucks

what's the settings of the Jmicron controller in BIOS ? IDE or AHCI or RAID ?

http://processorfinder.intel.c...tails.aspx?sSpec=SL9S8 You can check E6600 thermal specs. Here's a guide about C2D and C2Quad temperature : http://www.tomshardware.com/fo...quad-temperature-guide check on "scale 5 : Duo" For the HSF, you can buy Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro. You don't...

Oh really...??!! So, tell me, what's the basics in operating computer ? Click 3DMark06.exe and then jumping your ass off while you get those 10000 benchmark ?

What are you ? A sucking a$$ Vista promoter ? I bought Vista with my money, i upgrade my PC component little by little with my money, so where's your problem to judge me when i say to myself that i have enough for the PC and to not buy an LCD for a f*#king 150$ while my CRT 19" still serve me...

OK, when you are considering about Overclocking, you'll need a little high budget because you'll need a good mainboard which are proved to be a good overclocker, surely a heatsink (you can stick on intel HSF, but don't expect a good result on the long run), a good thermal grease, a good power...

Well that's a good suggestion :roll:. What are you ? Mama's boy ? surely you got lots of money right ? Why don't you buy me one ? I blow my pocket for buy Vista, my 19" CRT are still in good condition and i still have to blow my pocket for a damn LCD just to run my games on this sucking a$$...

More bandwidth and tighter timings will give you better gaming performance. Do you overclock by BIOS or by software ?

I've been installing from WHQL driver 163.69 until 163.76 Beta driver without any problem on games (1280x1024) such Half-Life, WiC, Dirt, Fear or FSX. Maybe it's because i don't play it on high resolution ?

I never use intel board, so i don't know how it really is on the run. Asus is well known board maker, so if i were you, i would take P5K and if i have more budget, i would take the deluxe version. Why ? i don't know, it's just sound luxury with "deluxe" thing.

If you are considering to buy a new mobo for overclocking, maybe you can consider a 965, 975, 650, 680 or P35 or even an X38. 945 chipset is kind of an old chipset and IMO, it'll be hard for you to find a support in the long run.

Did you just build your PC ? Can you see what's the BIOS version ?
