bitWISE god xor reason Joined: 08 Dec 1999 Posts: 21100	Posted: 12-31-2010 12:34 PM                    Just upgraded to some OCZ 1066 mhz ram and picked up a new cpu cooler so I could try maxing out my E8500. That's as far as I can get for now. The temps are still great but I can't find the right combination of settings to get her stable over a 465 bus.

I have this one (they sold me with the pretty brunette): http://www.noctua.at/main.php?show=prod ... =24&lng=en _________________ GtkRadiant | Q3Map2 | Shader Manual
