    Fast Write off did help with my OC actually, however it decreased my benchmarks for some odd reason. Only one it helped in was Aquamark, which is the one i had been having the most bizarre stuff happening to.

    Side panal is off, i'll grab a fan, but this is the coolest it's been in my office for months, so ambient is pretty nice at the moment.

    I'm still waiting on an answer to that annoying Nvidia IDE RAID screen. Does everyone have this, and no one can get rid of it? Again, 1.36 BIOS, and it was on the default 1.1 that came with my board. I'm not sure if my issues with the gfx are motherboard, or card related. But my overclock was stable in my intel, which leads me to beleive maybe i'm missing something?

    i've noticed the Northbridge on this board is not flat and the heatsink only makes about 10% contact. will this effect the HTT overclocking? i could put more thermal compound to get a contact or viod the warrenty and lap it.

    Your lucky at 10%


    If you lapped it or even changed it, providing you sent it back with the right cooler on, whos going to know?
    I doubt they check.

    I suppose you could say keeping it cooler should make it last longer

    24/7 use keep it under 2.0-2.1v and ull be fine. A64s dont just die from high vcore, thats a myth

    can you see the light? is it shining too bright? can you see the light at the end of the tunnel, i know i do, i know its true.

    Anyone know how many diff revisions are there for neo2 ?? I just got mine 4 days ago and i dont think AGP lock is working , even if i set it at 67mhz.

    My system crashes even with just 210fsb and when it reboots the windows error message says the problem was with the 6800gt. The board runs rock solid with stock settings with my FX55. My ram is Corsair PC3500c2(2-3-3-7 rating, BH5) and yes it crashes at those timings too with 2T. Should i RMA the mobo or what?
