Well finally got to doing some overclocking on the new BIOSTAR board I love it. vcore adjustments are a bit coarse but other then that no complaints. Ram Prime95 overnight and woke up and boom it was still running. Temps were a bit high at 67c max but mostly 64-65c. Need to drop the multi and see how high she will go on the FSB. Still learning this board the chipset is same as my other board mainly the P35 compared to this one with P45. Just lots more settings to work with which should prove great when finding my new highest stable overcloc. Vcore was set at 1.40v under load which was a bit higher then I wanted but gonna work on lowering that setting. ]]> Rick Arter http://www.overclock.net/blogs/rick-arter/1163-e8400-4-05ghz-prime95-10-hours.html http://www.overclock.net/blogs/rick-arter/1162-out-old-new.html Thu, 04 Jun 2009 21:12:04 GMT I am selling a lot of stuff I have had laying around including my CM Stacker STC-T01.

The case is great if you have a lot of hardware and need the space. For cooling however it sucks so I am selling it and buying a CM 690 I think. It will be a few week before I get rid of it and get the new case I cant wait!:) ]]> Rick Arter http://www.overclock.net/blogs/rick-arter/1162-out-old-new.html http://www.overclock.net/blogs/rick-arter/446-e4500-overclock.html Mon, 14 Apr 2008 03:14:13 GMT Just got it and it is nice already hit 3.3ghz bootable and super pi stable.

The case is great and I wish I had more money for the crossflow fan and side panel with window. Currently the front has only one drive cage but 3 120mm fans are present.

The case is great and I wish I had more money for the crossflow fan and side panel with window. Currently the front has only one drive cage but 3 120mm fans are present. The one on HDD cade is Antec 78cfm black and the other 2 are tied together and are mounted to the 5.25 bays with zipties. I want to do so many things to this case just need more time to do them and get it all posted. ]]> Rick Arter http://www.overclock.net/blogs/rick-arter/342-cm-stacker-stc-t01-modz-log.html http://www.overclock.net/blogs/rick-arter/145-came-home-work-early.html Wed, 10 Oct 2007 15:58:18 GMT Suppost to work 9-5 today but got into work at 9 and felt like crap left a hour later. Now I am here on OCN talking to you all. Want to get my stuff ordered by tomorrow at the latest. Hope my check is at least 350 dollars so I have enough cash for at least the CPU/MB.

Did not get anything done on the ExtremEngine . Been sitting around all day feeling crappy and trying to figure out whats wrong with my GFs computer. Have to work 9-5 PM tomorrow and then pick up my daughter at nighttime. Not going to get any done then either. Maybe Thursday I can get a time when shes sleeping or napping to cut on it some more. Starting to really worry about what hardware I am going to purchase there are so many cool parts. All for now 10-4. ]]> Rick Arter http://www.overclock.net/blogs/rick-arter/143-no-work-done-today.html http://www.overclock.net/blogs/rick-arter/140-so-many-computers-work.html Mon, 08 Oct 2007 22:04:40 GMT Right now I am swamped with projects and have no time to do them all with so many hours at work.
