Well the good news is, it is a whole lot easier than I thought. Bad news is........ I just realized that my replacement PSU that I took from my older computer when I accidentally fried the one in this one....... is 235W. :|

Yes... thats right.... 235W.

Man does that suck. I can't get my FSB above 133 (default). I tried to got to 138, and run Prime95, and I got a hardware failure. I also tried 143 and 148 before I realized that it was my PSU (hey, this is my first time).

However, I just changed my multiplier to x9.5 as opposed to x9.0, and it seems to be stable so far. I'm going to try x10 next. :D

Now since my FSB is still so slow, would increasing my multiplier even give me much more performance?

And yes I know, I guess before I get that stick of RAM, I should get a new PSU. :D
 
FUCK.........MY...........ASS...........

Just got a hardware failure in Prime95. Now actually, this is my first time using Prime95, I just read in a forum somewhere that it is great for stressing your system. Well shit......

Shit on my face...... hmm.... I need a PSU.
 
Wow, this entire thread involved me talking to myself. Well at least I didn't answer my own questions as if I were talking to someone else...... that would be creepy. :eek:
