i personally will do 1.75-1.8v on ram if good airflow.

maybe. Those are some loose timings.

Ok, here we go. Very overclockable piledriver quad-core, full featured overclock durable micro atx mobo, dual channel ram, a very overclockable gpu, and a 60GB ssd (because it will make her think her rig is so fast) at the magic number...

normally it's not very useful to wait for the next technology, but man, you already waited like 6 years i guess you can wait 1 more:p

i could not find one acceptable micro atx board in the am3+ socket (to my standards) so i stayed with fm2 but dropped down to the A8. PCPartPicker part list: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/X74Y Price breakdown by merchant:...

my fx-4100 really sucked at gaming at stock. At high overclocks it was ok though basically night and day difference from stock. I settled for 4.5GHz for 24/7 but i benched it over 5GHz although it took much voltage and air cooling at...

it is probably bad timings. Overclocking memory is a bear and should only be done after you have stabilized cpu overclock. Did you already set all of your timings and voltages manually?
