Nice system indeed. Keep an eye on those temps when you start overclocking. Are these the temps in your BIOS, or as reported by software (and if so, which software, and do they make sense compared to BIOS?).
The temperature under load is the most critical one. We often use Prime95 to test a full-load situation, and keep an eye on the temps when doing so (below 50 is desired, in general.)
I also ran prime95 and temp went to 36. Reported by speedfan, everst, asus ai booster. So i think it's prety accurate.
The only problem i got is my mobo. the asus a8n-e doesnt have memory devider. Should i lower my memory speed to 333mhz to get more out of my cpu?
That way you actually do set a memory divider. Ram at 333 means the FSB is 166MHz (DDR...). Thus, RAM : CPU is 5 : 6. You will notice that when you OC the CPU, the ram speed will increase in that 5 : 6 ratio. Same when you put RAM in 266MHz (133MHz FSB): the ratio in this case is RAM : CPU = 2 : 3
Normally PSUs should be able to removed easily (just a few screws in the back), but the pictures of the case on their website leave me in doubt. The PSU in that case is of a good brand (Seasonic), but 350W (17A 12V rail) is quite low for serious gaming/overclocking.
Could you post pictures of the interior of the case, and of the mounting of the PSU?
EDIT: I think we're violating the rules a bit here
No questions should be asked here. Maybe you should post a new thread with the case/PSU question?
P.s. jrabb1920, could you tell me the setting you used for that OC?
