Finally OC'd my E6320! (jumps for joy!)

[Stephen8454]

So last year I built this:

Mobo - EVGA 680i SLI
CPU - E6320
RAM - 2 x 1GB OCZ SLI DDR2 1066 w/ OCZ XTC Memory Cooler
HSF - Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme
HDD - 2 x 80GB 7200 RPM RAID 1
PSU - 600w Modular
Case - Antec P180b
GPU - 7600 GT OC (soon to be 8800 GTS 640MB!)

So this was the first PC i built and I must say it was quite addicting. I had the goal of overclocking the shit out of this thing because I had never done it and Im a sucker for power. I was running Vista x64 Ultimate and could not get it to work at all. I didnt do anything for this machine for 6 months until now...

Installed XP w/ SP3. OC'd my CPU to 3.5GHz w/ temps at 36° idle, 48° under load! Ambient temps in my room is around 75° to 80°. My pc sits right next to the vent for the A/C too. Next I am going to OC my memory... Any suggestions w/ current setup?

any reason you choose the 640mb over 512mb GTS?

His whole set-up is a step behind(no offense) so I am guessing cost.

He admits he built it a year ago....That doesn't really put it a step behind....from when he built it....

NO different then many others from this website at that time...
