hi all,
I managed to sell some of my old parts and bought a new mobo/cpu/ram/cooler to upgrade my system. I am familiar with overclocking as this is the third chip i overclock(my first experience was a C2D thats in my mom's pc still running lapped.... E6400 @ 3.2ghz for years)...but now with all this new chips and techonolgies that come in motherboards i just want to make sure im on the right track and safe, as i want my i5 to last me at least 2 yrs and run it at a decent oc 24/7....i will be using my pc for regular downloading movies/music, and some gaming from time to time, CPU intensive Flight Simulator X along with battlefield 3 for now. Here is a list of my bios settings to show you and ask if it looks good or should i change something, etc...

C1E/C3/C6 ALL DISABLED
I tested for stability running intel burn test at maximu settings for 10 cycles and the third core was the hottest at 70C during stress testing using turbo fan profile. I will install a couple of scythe s.flex SFF21F fans in a push/pull config...thanks for your comments in advance!!!
