KimTjik Posted January 7, 2006 Posted January 7, 2006 i think ill stop here now and wait till i get some active cooling for the rams b4 i proceed as i still havent reached my goal of 255 fsb A wise move! Those BH-5 does certainly get very hot... If you by 18 hours mean Prime continiously running for at least half of the time, yes you've got good value for the money spent.

Thasp Posted January 7, 2006 Posted January 7, 2006 I'd get a better PSU first, too. Thermaltake has a record of making bling blang, high on looks and low on performance crap. There is the occasional exception, but especially considering it doesn't meet DFI's requirements, I'd replace the PSU before running the voltage up on everything.

Guest laydback Posted January 7, 2006 Posted January 7, 2006 Enermax makes great PSU's. Mine is worth every penny of the $160 I paid when it first came out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gipse Posted January 7, 2006 Posted January 7, 2006 Hi, nice oc-result:nod: But in my (!) opinion that´s too much voltage (1.65V) for 24/7 usage. Gipse Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
