Thanks for the fast reply. I'll check the CPU usage later tonight. I'm hoping its not the CPU and just the video upgrade will be enough.

I currently have an ASUS A8N32 with 2gb ram and an AMD Opteron 165 (OCed to 2.6). With a BFG 7900gt vid card. I purchased Age of Conan and can barely get it to run in low video settings. Would upgrading to a nice 8800GTX or 9800gt video card improve the video quality by much? Meaning get...

I'm using a Sycthe Ninja I see temps from 38-46C. I'm using an Aerocool case which I think with three 120s really has good flow. Its gonna be a dust collector, but I'm happy so far.

wow, like butter. I set it all back to default then re-entered my changes. I am hitting 2609 on this baby at 46 max load on air :) I'm pretty happy. I just started prime95, I notice not much is happening but speedfan is telling me something is going on.

That didn't do it either, I had to pull one of my gig chips. On the A8N32 what slot is the first channel and second channel begin?

Ok I'll give it a shot.. However now I can't get the damn thing to start. Wonderful.....

Ok guys. This is killing me. Everytime I try and startup I keep getting an OC failed message and must go into BIOS and modify it. I have a 165, A8N32 and fomr DDR3200 corsair ram. Needless to say I'm getting frustrated. What do I do next?

Ick.. Now I don't know what to do.. there is a 7900gt in a FedEx truck otw to my place. Should I keep it and get another for the SLi, or do I return it for the GTX. The second set of Benches made me more positive, but now I don't know what I should do.

This will be my first OC rig, I'll have to go read up on the dividers. That won't hurt the performance at all will it?

just bought A8N32 deluxe and an optty 165. Will this memory be ok to OC to maybe 2.5? I've been searching for info, but I've been coming up short on this particular memory. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820145575 Thanks guys!

I appreciate it! I was thinking about fixing the fan to the bottom of the HS blowing up to the blowhole. THen it gets that passive airflow from the side pannels. I'll let everyone know what I find out.

Does this thing fit? I think it'd be a good HS for the processor/board I'm running.

So where the heck do I buy one of these either a 165 or 170. It seems I missed the magic days of the Monarch coupon and lower prices. Anyone have a good site/price to pick either of these up? Thanks,

Will the 165 work with the Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe ? I really like that board. Also does anyone have that setup? Any pointers?

I want this rig NOW!!! The wait is gonna suck, but now seeing the price for the 2.4 its just not worth it to invest in anythign else.. Oh well.
