For the NB or SB? I got a HR-05-SLI on both and it dropped my MB temps from 50 --> 30C, never get above 38C loaded now.

Lol, i got it up to 3.4ghz easily, at about 46 degrees load, but havent bother to go much yet, im looking at getting a Thermalright ultra 120 for it. and it is my NB that is doing this, is it normal, and would that heatsink fit alrite if i had a Ultra 120?

playing UT3 demo at a smooth framerates of 60 and im still not satisfied...

i have feeling my 2 8800GTS SLI are being BOTTLENECKED !

any good processor for this board? Q6600 ?

What bottleneck?
You're playing at 60fps. Which is most LCD's max refresh rate.

Besides, I'm sure if you turned up the settings, you'd still get 60fps. Or are you already at max? If you are, don't complain. lol

Sorry dude, but in my opinion, I wouldn't buy a new CPU for your rig. You will see increased max fps, but your minimum won't be affected I reckon. For me minimum fps are what counts. It doesn't help your PC can get 200fps at some point in a game, but you get 20fps minimum at other points. That is a graphics bottleneck (it can't take the load).

Just my opinion. Use it, don't use it.

E6420 if you want to do it on the cheap. Apparently they're easily overclocked to 3.4-3.6Ghz plus you get the 1066 FSB and 2x2MB L2 cache.

He is better getting one of the E6*50 chips but it may require a bios flash

Wow! You're right. I haven't checked the prices in a while.

I have the p5ne board.. Everything has been running smooth, e6550 2x1 gig of corsair ram, 7600gt xfx, audigy 2zs gamer card.. So the other night thursday, i wanted to play crysis, but i needed to install new video drivers. So uninstall the old video drivers and the new it worked good, but the game stuttered a bit. So i played bf2 and was listening to music at the same time and i get this screatching sound and it hangs up, and it repeats the same beat and i shutdown the computer and no issue.. Then later im just listening to music and i turn up the wave volume within my sound pannel and the comp shuts down... After all that crap.. it would go past the post screen, where right after i should see the xp loading screen and it had something different.. said nvidia biosshield but with it up i couldnt ctrl-alt-dlt, so i had to restart and now it wont go past the post screen.. Its stuck at the begining where it says press tab to view post or delete to enter bios.. And i cant do anything, tried to boot from cd, reset the cmos and nothing.. Please help

First try clearing the CMOS. Unplug the PSU and pull the jumper next to the SATA ports (see manual). Try resetting all your parameters to stock settings and see if that helps.

Fill in your system specs too. Any details on how you're set up will help us help you.
