if not it is worth doing plus get a 40mm fan and stick it on the NB - it helps a lot. Also - here is a link to a useful O/C guide http://forumz.tomshardware.com/hardw...ict197995.html

From the pics you have posted I would disable all Q fan control also memory remap unless you have 4GB. Set FSB - 1.3 or 1.4v ,MCH = 1.65 and maybe up the memory volts - I dont know what they are speced for. I couldn't see the vcore setting but follow the guide recommendation and see how you get on. Your PSU might be a bit light for this board - nearer 600w or above is what is recommended
Thanks, I'll give that a try. I'm thinking I can get a small fan from work, and probably use that. I also have a couple chipset coolers (TT Spirit II's). If i get some time, I'll try that.

as for the PSU... I wish I could figure out a way to test if it's the PSU with out buying a new one. I don't want to spend $150 just to realize it's something else, any suggestions? Maybe unplug all but 1 of the hdd's and one of my Optical drives??? Would that give me enough leeway to work some magic?

Thanks,
