Hey so i just built my computer two days ago (it is my first build) and I ran prime95 overnight and occt a couple hours ago and both resulted in a black screen. I don't know when the prime 95 black screened, but I do know that the computer black screened under occt with apprx 5-6 minutes left in the 2hr mixed test. Everything is running stock so I am confused as to what is wrong.

I am uncertain as to how to proceed because if there are stability problems now, who know what could happen if I were to overclock it.

For me to get over 506 fsb I had to bump the voltage up on the ICH (SB) a little at a time. I was able to run at 545 FSB, but thats as high as I have been so far.
I was able to reach 5 ghz with 527 FSB.

I'm using a Cooler Master Hyper 212 w/(2) 120mm fans which fits perfectly. The size of your case could be a factor as well with regards to what cpu cooler you wanna use.

My XIGMATEK HDT-S1283 fits on it, but the push pins were not fun to install with. It is a huge cooler and barely fit into my case.

I've read the book and its not real clear as to if you can use 4 or you have to use a 8 prong. The 4 prong only fits in 4 closest to the front of the case,could anyone help out?

Your TX750 Corsair doesnt have an 8pin +12V? Mine does. Its a split-apart 8pin so you can also use it on a 4pin +12V mobo.
However using only 4pins should work fine also.

I just installed mine (and I'll be posting pics shortly). I haven't even closed the case yet. Just booted up and got right on here. Right now I'm enjoying it before I have to go sleep. I'll OC it tomorrow.

Edit: Here's my build/upgrade log with pics.

The clearance on this board will allow any air cooler on the market to fit without issue.

I haven't although a buddy of mine has done his. I asked him to send me pics and details. Once I get them I'll post back here.

Vdroop is not too bad.

1.28 in the bios = 1.248 in windows at idle, 1.216 under load.
