Post some specs of what u got the rig up to now Bio. I had a similar setup i just upgraded from that had a DFI board base and an A64 that overclocked nicely with just air.....even though I used an upgraded cooler with a 92mm tornado strapped to it(with a fan controller of course LOL!)

I've had it as high as 4GHz, but I'm starting over again with a new MoBo and 4 gigs of ram that I installed yesterday.

DANG BRO! That's some nice speeds there! I'm hoping to break the 3.5G barrier on my E6600 when I'm done water cooling. Do you have the clock set to that now and running stable?

Only ran a few benchmarks at those speeds and it seemed stable................ :mrgreen:

But like I said before, I just swapped out MoBos yesterday and installed a Gigabyte EP45T Extreme with 4 x 1 gig of ram. Right now I have it at 3.6 stable already.

Impressive :shock:

IntelBurnTest can determine if your overclock is stable.

When I get around to it I'll try and see if I can get it stable with this new setup..........;)

With this new board I have it at 3.6 @ 1.424v load 20 runs of IntelBurn), so I've still got plenty of head room left................... :mrgreen:

Those aren't rivets, they are 6-32 stainless steel hex drive button head machine screws. I think I used 1/8" bit if I remember correctly.

Updated the video card water cooling a little with a full coverage block to keep the 4870 nice and cool while over clocking.
