Oh, and loadline calibration was turned off in my BIOS. Since I overclock, that is a setting I really need enabled or blue screens do happen. I need to remember to save that into my OC profile.

Of course, I have gotten good shots a couple of times and picked the pilot out of the chopper with my tank machine gun. :D
I didn't know that was possible...can you switch places inside the tank and use the top mg momentarily?

You can do that as well. I will often do that because the guns have cooldown periods so I'll jump between them when shooting choppers.

Wait, what? Having loadline calibration off is usually what IMPROVES OCs from what I've experienced and understood from others...

Loadline calibration improves Vdroop. If you're seeing your Vdroop vary too much, it can cause instabilities and blue screens. Loadline calibration makes it rock solid. Many people advocate disabling loadline calibration but for completely different reasons.

EDIT: This article explains it very well, along with the reason many thought you should disable it.

If you have a decent quality motherboard LLC is a good thing, and not likely to cause any issues at all.

I have basically a $300 motherboard from Asus that actually gets worse when I have that stuff on. :/
