after much help from many of you, i finally have the rig set up to run smoothly. max settings were (at 32-35c temps):
htt multi: 4x
cpu clock: 250x
cpu multi: 11x
cpu volts: 1.55
ddr volts: 2.80
results: 2.75ghz.
3dmark05: 8098
ran this in configuration with powerstrip (gpu at 560/1210) but continued to have problems both in 3dmark05 and in running Half-Life 2 (hl2) so i backed down both the cpu/gpu and have enjoyed greater success in both applications.
currently running smoothly at: cpu 235x, cpu volts 1.5375, ddr volts 2.75 = 2.60ghz, 30c. i am satisfied at these levels/speeds.
still trying out how to better measure FPS in games (i have a download of Fraps but not sure how to see the "overall" score).
still have a lot of reading and understanding that needs to happen as i'm still a bit unclear as to what some of the settings mean (htt multiplier and fsb...how do i know what fsb my mobo runs at....simple as look it up on the asus website?..)
thanks and have fun
