I just put together a new system with the above CPU and MB. I am currently overclocking my CPU as follows
HTT 325 x8=2600MHz 1.44v
Memory at DDR133 (325*0.665=216Mhz) OCZ4002048ELDCPE-K 2x1GB 2.5-3-3-8
My memory wont go higher than 225Mhz so I had to drop the multiplier.

The CPU temp are 44/51
The MB temps shows 40 but hits as high as 50C under gaming. I have altogether 4 120mm fans in the system. Case is Cooler Master Stacker 830

Does that sound a bit too high. Should I go down to 290 x 9 and put the memory at 192 to keep the MB temps low.

The motherboard is installed in the normal fashion.. guess its not upside down.

But I feel like an idiot... the 2 fans installed on the side of the case in the fan cage (it can house 4 fans) were not blowing air into the case instead they were sucking air. Only the rear fan should be an exhaust.
I only noticed this by accident as a piece of paper got sucked into the fan!!!

I bet the temps should get better now.. Its late and I dont have too much time to test.
