Might consider grabbing a different PSU.

Amazing how people blow a few grand on other parts, then end up spending 60 bucks on a PSU..


The multipliers UP are always locked.

Using 4 gigs of RAM will limit how high your can go (severely).

I'd set a divider, notch it to 1.45 volts, and inch it up.
100Mhz integers, when it fails prime, knock it down in 50 Mhz integers unmtil it stops failing.

Check out Zebo's guide.
