k all I put some as 5 on my heatsiknk instead of that crappy paste, and boy has it made a difference! At fist my pc read at like 60c at 2.2 ghz, and then I got 45 or so c at 2.5ghz, Nice! Anyways, I'm going for 2.6ghz, and it seems like I need the voltage at 1.9v's because everything else lower crashed. Here's the layout: 1.8 doesn't boot, 1.825 boots then shuts down, 1.850 boots then when I hit a game bsod then shuts down, and finally 1.9 no idea yet. What do you all think? I'm trying to hit the 13x200 right now for it.
 
oh yeah and I did some temp testing and Iended up bumping it down to 2.5ghz cause I got bsod in games after a bit fo playing, and my idle temps are about 38C, that's an almost 700mhz overclock at that cool. Dude this heatsink rules. Any idea of a good motherboard to bump it up even further?
