However, I have heard reports that the fan is weak, and some people use the frame with a different fan. If that is true, how hard is it to swap fans?

Blitz, here are two reviews. Hope these are helpful:

Good luck

Yeah, I had seen those reviews. I was hoping a few people from OCN had tried it. Oh well, I guess I will hold off for now, as it is I already spent too much lol.

I WOULD LIKE TO CALL A VOTE!

Now that I have your attention

BOOBTERON!

Ok, no seriously

, I say that we all switch our signature around. I say that the link to the 939 club is upside down...EVERYBODY'S (just like in my sig). That way it sets us apart from the other (no name) clubs! Just my thoughts.

I sure wish Pioneer would take that advice when he's buying parts....

Well, that, and I bought a HDD caddy for my new hard drive without thinking. Accordingly, I would be short one 5.25" slot. Now, if I instead returned that to NE, it would work. I am not sure I want to do that though.

actually changing to T2 timings did help,but not at 3.1Ghz. I lower the OC back down to 3Ghz but was able to get a higher RAM OC.

Try changing your HT multiplier to 3x. That should take you to 1041mhz. It may or may not be stable. I would also try changing your command rate from 1T to 2T. Is your board stable at 347HTT?

Good luck

My Mobo is stable to 355HTT so far to boot up in, I haven't tried to go past that just yet. But that was before I adjusted the RAM timings and set it to T2.

Here is a screenie of temps and RAM OC.

EDIT: The volts are up on the CPU still. I forgot to lower it.

Guardian, core 2 looks a little warm but that is to be expected with 1.55volts.

OT: What is the exact version number of your Everest application?

4.20.1257 Beta Thats what the help file says. Is it not reading something correctly?

@ pioneer & Guardian: Good to see your OCs, guys! I must confess that I haven't done any real OCing, not even on my testing rig, for a couple of months now. I have to get back on that horse pretty soon.

@ blitz: Wish I had something to report regarding the Kama Bay. However, thlnk3r's links ought to help you decide on whether or not to buy.

@ thlnk3r: I wanna see some digi-pix of your case mod, man! I don't have the stones to cut up any of my cases. That's as honest as when I told you off-forum that I don't have the tools or the workshop to do major mods to that, too.

@ pioneer & Guardian again: You guys are skilled as well as lucky. I don't own a chip that can OC that much at sub-stock VCore, pioneer, and even with more VCore I can't manage an extended run with Orthos Blend (@ Priority 9, no less) at above 2.95V on any of my chips, Guardian. Kudos to both of you!

@ froggy: Hi!

You must be one real patient gal to put up with crazy pioneer.

I know he drives ME crazy.

(I should tell him that I want the XFX now... Muhahahahaha)

Thanks man, this is where the fun part of OC'ing kicks in. You know it's there and you can taste it. It's finding that perfect volt/timing or temp you rig loves.
