Nice to see you're starting to OC the board again.


On another note, I'm getting odd behavior with Superfetch in Vista 64. I changed my logitech and nvidia drivers the other day. Now Superfetch is alot more active and accessing the hard drive for much longer when I get to my desktop. My stability isn't affected at all (ran Prime, OCCT, and burn without issue), but it's kinda annoying seeing the hard drive light on for so much longer. I fell back to the older drivers but it's still doing it. Dunno how to stop it other than turning off Superfetch all together. Have any of you ever experienced that?
I guess the RAM ICs make a lot of difference.

If I was you, I wouldnt be touching the nvidia drivers. Me for example, if I know I will NOT have time to uninstall/drive sweeper 2.0.5/restart/drive sweeper/install, then I prefer not to mess with them.
Also, whenever a new WHQL comes out, I like to wait a little to see if there is going to be a new revision (190.36->190.64 or something like that)

But most importantly, DO NOT mess with your nForce drivers, NEVER!.
I have had nightmares with it before. If you have the lastest version and is working, there is absolutely no reason to upgrade. Trust me, nforce becoming a pain in the @ss when it comes to upgrading/reinstalling.

I cant really help here since I dont have Vista but when those weird things happen you can try a complete reinstall and by this I mean uninstall your logitech, nforce, geforce (and anything you touched before the problem), use drive sweeper before/after restarting. Then use CCleaner to clean your registry and start again. If that doesnt fix it, I would say a clean install would be the best option (or go for an SSD and forget about that )

UPDATE: Btw, Prime95 25.11 Build 2 ran for 12 hours yesterday/today. If anybody needs my settings I will gladly post them. Im back to 3.6Ghz
