Title: Got my new PC!!
Post by: Reaper on March 14, 2008, 10:02:24 PM: First thing I did?
Overclocked the Q6600 quad from 2.4 to 2.96 stable, will be going higher if the temps stay nice and low!
O YEAH!

I will, but it consumes me, hooked it up to my PS3, 360, Laptop, Network and Pretty much everything else in my room.
I made a joke to a friend that it would start talking to me, 20 minutes later, it did... NO LIE...

Gotta mess around with the FSB and Mem clocks a little more, might also have to increase the NB and SB Voltages, which I don't really want to do because it will increase the heat. Right now I just have 3x 120 MM fans on it...

My old laptop got 25-30 FPS running medium settings in UT2k4
I just ran 4 copies of it on my new comp and they all had >100 FPS on ultra high everything...
also, just unrarred a 12gb file in 10 minutes, took my old computer all night to pack it in the first place...
