    1st Time Overclocker - Lucky?

    Excellent! And thanks for the replies, I'm going to put the 3 case fans in tommorow. 2 To exhaust warm air and 1 to pump more cool air in. Then i will begin to push it further. One thing i've noticed is that my Asus AI Suite program seems to report the CPU temp roughly 10 degrees higher than...

    Fried PSU Symptoms

    I took off the heatsink to check that it wasn't the CPU making the funny smell too. I dusted the heatsink out, then re-seated it before powering up with the new PSU. I think motherboard damage is likely :(

    AN8 Fatal1ty

    Just a quick update really :) I've now got one of these boards, and managed to get my A64 3500 Winchester to 2.6Ghz on air, temps at load are around 55C. The dual otes cooler above the ram works quite well too. Overall, the board has worked out well for me.
