    Anyone else here overclocking their system at all? I for one feverently belive in pushing my components to dangerous levels the moment they are out of the box... maybe its just me...

    anyway, my rig:

    Abit AN7 - crazy high voltages for everything i can get it to.
    Athlon 2500+ oc'ed to a 3200+ (for now... going higher next year after i get my new water setup... my current one is weak sauce)
    1 gig of ram at ddr400 3-2-2-6 1:1
    radeon 9800 pro softmodded to 9800xt
    dual WD Raptors each at 36 gig 10000rpm in RAID-0

    I havent dont this myself, but I have seen it done.
    Use dry ice to cool your cpu down to freezing levels. You can probably overclock up to a GHz or more.
    I recommend Celeron D's since they are cheap.

    I used to have a Athlon XP oced from 2Ghz to 2.65Ghz on an Abit NF7-S, way better than that AN7 that you have... that uGURU crap

    Athlon 64 3000+ 1.8Ghz@2.6Ghz 1.525v
    MSI Neo2 Platinum with trat's 1.51 bios
    Thermaltake's pipe101 with an Smartfan III
    1Gig DDR400 @ DDR474 dual channel OCZ CL2.5-3-3-10 ramz0r
    an 6800GT evga OCed to 420/1200 (stock voltages)
    Antec True Power 430
    1 80gig Hitachi SATA150 :rolleyes:

    Thats some crazy ram you got there Saber,
    the stuff i im using now is what i got the last time i was in HK, right around the time that hyperx was about $450 canadian for a gig. I got mine for 200 canadian, no tax hehe...
    supposedly it can run at ddr500, but i doubt it, although the ram voltages go up to about 2.9v on it so maybe....

    yeah i dont use the Uguru thing, its kinda freaky messing with the fsb in windows... so i disabled it and did it the old way.
    An7 is not that bad, kinda like a nf7 with more stuff... that I ended up disabling anyway.... at least its not the nf7-s2.
