    Updating 1.5 year old rig

    I read his alternatives but I meant alternatives that didn't have raid 0 or too many pcie slots. It would only waste money since I won't be using them.

    Overclocking (unlocked core) Phenom II x3 720

    Okay, I'll try to up my voltage. Is it the CPU over voltage? EDIT: Ran OCCT with 4th core unlocked 15.5x (3.1 ghz) + 1.5v, PC shutdown in a matter of minutes. I guess my 4th core is bad, so I left at triple core running 16x (3.2 ghz) + 1.45 volts. Will post up results after.
