@Brother Esau: how are those OCZ working? i'm thinking of getting new RAMS to replace my Team Xtreem 2x1Gb DDR2 9600...i'm thinking of either the Crucial Ballistix 8500 or OCZ Reaper 9200...which one should i go for?Thanks in advance.

You should get the OCZ FLEX XTC (PC2 9200) 1150MHZ 5-5-5-18 like the ones I ordered as they are proven by Tony, RGone, Praz,Raja and others to work very well with this particular motherboard.
Believe me the last thing I wanted to do was have to spend money on RAM after I just dumped $339.00 on my Cell Shock but I put entirely too much time into that and got absolutely no where! So I elected to get the Flex for that reason "Proven" Overclocking friendly ......I had some Ballistix Tracer that eva2000 has tested extensively with great result but this board was not having any of it!
Stick with the OCZ

so it's the Flex over the Reapers? but i'm not into watercool...You should get the OCZ FLEX XTC (PC2 9200) 1150MHZ 5-5-5-18 like the ones I ordered as they are proven by Tony, RGone, Praz,Raja and others to work very well with this particular motherboard.

or
I'm just telling you which over the two I know for a fact work very well without issue at high overclock. But if you prefer the Black Heat Spreader over the Siver one what EVER

Oh so basically they perform the same? just that the Flex are water-cool capable? that would be a good thing if i decide to water cool.I'm just telling you which over the two I know for a fact work very well without issue at high overclock.

wow THANKS!

NO!!!! What I am telling you is if you want something that works well that is documented to do so and on Par with you Team Xtreem I would get the OCZ FLEX and not run the risk of being disappointed like we both have been already with our very High $ Ram

Well, let me say that Vista is installed now, no more problem I installed vista in 15 mins exactly .. PC is responding real fast.
I really think the problem was the voltage on the NB at stock settings wasn't ok, weird tho.
Anyway, I'm now at 3.2GHZ
9*356
my temp are idle
35
29
29
35
chipset : 45
PWM : 41
On load :
47
42
42
48
chipset : 49
PWM : 47
Seems good temp for me
I'm gonna go sleep soon and I'll run orthos all nite, tommorow if everything is oke I'll go for 3.4GHZ
Btw, I have the Ultra-120 Extreme ... I read that a lot of ppl had problem with mounting .. not enough pressure on, I don't know if mine is oke but I can move the heatsink if I push it on the left or the right .. or if I try to make him a 360 .. but since my temp are ok .. I guess it's fine anyway
will see tommorow my goal is to hit 3.6GHZ and I'll be happy
thx for the answer guys

@ MacKaquE......hey man why don't you make a signature so we know what you are working with in the event you ask for our help?

Cell Shock PCB is not fully liked by this chipset and I just dumped $339.00 on my kit just to find that out the hard way! Get the Ram in my sig!
