Help on OC'ing New system!

[Stangs55]

Just built my new system (see sig).

Right now I'm getting about 5300 on 3DMark05 .... I think that this is kinda low though, what do you guys think?

Anyways, I am wanting to do some oc'ing in my BIOS, but I'm an oc'ing noob and wanted some advice.

1. I bought the OCZ Plat Rev 2 DDR b/c of it's oc'ing ability, but I can't make heads or tails of exactly what I should change in the BIOS!? What settings should I tweak exactly in order to increase speed?

2. I'm oc'ing my 6800 Ultra via coolbits in windows to 441/1.16. Should I be doing something different?

3. I'm using Auto OC'ing in the BIOS....this the right way to go?

4. Motherboard Monitor says that my CPU is running at:
CPU - 26 C
Case - 20 C
Sensor - 30 C
This can't be right?! Or can it? Even for idle temps....a CPU @ 26 C...damn! And during gaming it only rises a little above 30 C. I'm using a Zalman 7000A-Cu heatsink w/Artic Silver. Is something wrong here?

-Thanks in advance for any input/advice.

So much money on that rig O_O may I ask why you need a 600W psu?

"Need"? Uh I don't.....I just like Enermax and couldn't afford a PCP&C

I actually bought this rig now b/c I had my 5900 Ultra fried and replaced by compusa for free with a 6800 Ultra. Therefore, I decided to wait on my PCIe system until the next gen graphics cards come out and just get a decent AGP mobo now and plug in my 'free' 6800 ultra.

If I ever decide on SLi, I can rest easy knowing that a heafty 600W PSU is helping her out.

OnEMoReTrY - How is it that you're getting 5,823 on 3DMark05 and I'm only getting in the 5300's? Something just doesn't seem right here?!

That and ATI cards have been doing better in 3DMark05 then nvidia.

5300 in 3DMark05 is not a bad score. you still beat most systems. By the way nice rig!
