    Overclocking my 3.0e

    I have 2 x 512 Corsair VS and they are only stable up to about 220mhz. If I set the Bios to ddr 333, my ram is only running at 180mhz at 3.5ghz. But I can get it up to 3.3 at 1:1. Which would give me better performance? Clock speed with a memory divider, or at 1:1??

    Just got Bigwater SE

    Would this fan be enough to cool the radiator of the bigwater? The stock Thermaltake fan is just too noticeable. So I put an Antec Tri Cool, and that too is too noticeable, even at 1000 RPM. I guess I'm just becoming a "quiet" snob. What do ya'll think?

    Soundstorm vs. X-Fi

    Title says it all Just got the X-Fi Xtreme Music But I still prefer the sound out of my XBOX. Weird. In XBMC, I set the audio settings to "output to all speakers", and after doing this, it sounds phenominal. Is this DDL? The sound card costs more than my XBOX plus Mods!!
