My memory seems to have settled out at 253 2-2-2-8 at 3.3v which is the max i feel like putting to them, though if my cpu will do 3ghz then i think i could push them more. Next to HTT testing.

Ok so now that i have things about where i wanted them i was going to put my mobo into my skyhawk case today. Well guess what, the audio modual does not fit, it hits the fan in my case preventing me from using this damn case :( so now i need to find a new case.

Yves. i had that issue with a Cooler master case and a 120mm fan....I found that the audio module wouldn't actually hit the fan, so I just cut a groove in the fan housing for the audio module.

I thought about trying that but there is so little room even notching the fan would distroy it so for the moment its in my Lian Li PC-52, not the best case for an A64 running at 2.6ghz :( The good news is Nate is sending me a case to review so who knows i might just end up keeping that :)

Well there are probably going to be about 5 systems put together over here with that board within the next couple weeks, as for mine I am o/c'n it and wondered which heatsink/fan to go with, thermalright was fine the last time so Id like to stay with them...

I like my OCZ PSU Personally.

Infinite I have a DFI LANPARTY nF3 UT 250gb mobo and I had a similar problem with my CD drive. Everytime I put a disk in it would just spike the CPU usage for no reason. Well I e-mailed DFI and got a reply back in an hour(i know, fast right?) and found out that they know that the drivers for CD drives are messed up and he just told me to uninstall it. I did that and it worked just fine.
