As far as diminishing returns; is that on the PSU side or the CPU/MOBO side? Will my performance basically decay over time? How long can I expect to sustain this? Haha thanks again for the replies!

Thanks, I appreciate the reply. I was aware I was under clocking my ram; thats what I had to do to keep the 1:1 at 3.0ghz. I'll work with my 5:4 and run a bunch of tests. It's been verystable for more than two days with Prime and OCCT. Thanks again!

bump!

Hi everyone, Thanks in advance for any replies. I have been running tests on a few oc's on my system and have come up with a few questions: My system is: Q6600 GO EVGA 750i Mushkin Redline DDR2-1000 EVGA GTX 280 A) Should I stay 1:1, at 3.0ghz (for example) with 9x333 and my...

Yeah, I fully understand there for sure. Thanks. As for the memory, I had to obviously set all the timings and speed manually in the bios myself. I didn't know the fact about the video; thanks for letting me know - it makes total sense. :)

I've been just playing around with overclocking tools just to see how they work, not overclocking anything but just looking at it and not saving it while I await the arrival of my TRUE. I did notice a few discrepancies that had me wondering about a few things. 1. My memory; I realized that...

Trying to decide on memory.. I've got a Q6600 on an EVGA 750i FTW I'm going with 8gigs total.. why not? DDR2 is CHEAP haha Mushkin HP PC2-6400 4GB 2X2GB DDR2-800 5-4-4-12 - $90.00 each or Corsair XMS2 DHX TWIN2X4096-6400C5DHX 4GB DDR2 2X2GB PC2-6400 DDR2-800 CL 5-5-5-18 - 129.99 each...

I'll read that FAQ for sure. Tanks a bunch :)

Researching a bit more, would this actually be good for that system above + sli (I just want room for some growth if need be and to allow for any decay) Corsair HX520 CMPSU-520HX 520W ATX Triple 12V I gather this has three rails and thus it can utilize a lower wattage?

Thanks, I wouldn't mind the option to go SLI.. if it meant spending a bit more cash maybe I should go with something else for the hell of it. Which Corsair (or other) PSU would you suggest going with in that case?

Hello, I've been reading the forums here for ages, done my own calculations etc and am still a little bit unsure about which PSU I should get for my new system. I'd like to pick up a Corsair PSU, I've even used their calculator online and it suggested the Corsair HX520 520HX but I just...
