I use that exact HSF on my GA-P35-DS3L board. It fits fine, and keeps my temps quite low. It's one of the best value HSF units on the market right now.

One thing to keep in mind - it overhangs the NB heatsink very closely if oriented to pull air through the heatsink and blow it out the back of the case. For NB cooling on the DS3L, many people recommend a 40mm fan added to the NB heatsink. This can be done, but (at least on mine) the 40mm has to be offset about 0.5" to allow room for the Xigmatek to clear the NB.

hi

Ive been reading alot about overclocking my q9550 and ive been going into the bios and looking for the setting i need to change for an overclock and there was one thing i noticed was the multipiler only goes to 8.5x i cant change it to 9x

also should i disable all these in my bios

CPU Enhanced Halt (C1E): .
CPU Thermal Monitor (TM2):
CPU EIST Function (SpeedStep):
Virtualization Technology:

thanks

great thread btw

installed it today, man the temps are great with this thing!!!

that antec power supply made a world of difference over the gamexstream i was using

Iv'e fallen off O/Cing for sometime now and it's time to get back in. I'm running into stability issues @ 3.4 with 1.5Vcore set in bios. The biggest challenge being the massive Vdroop on this board. With 1.5v set in BIOS i'm dropping to 1.394 under full load Small stress test in Prime. Idle she stays around 1.45 Vcore. Temps are decent 62 c max during full load. If recall the maximum safe Vcore is what 1.50 or 1.55? What do you guys recommend? I'm at work and can post better stats later.
