Smile Ready to OC!

Hello all,
My name's Matt, I'm an IT tech for a government sub-contractor and I've been doing hardware tweaking for about 2 years, though on a very limited basis.

Just looking to get some great advice on how to fully utilize my new build!

AMD Phenom II 955
ASUS M4A79 Deluxe
8GB DDR2 800 RAM
ATI HD Radeon 3650 x 4 (working on the crossfire thing now...)
4 x HDD, in 2 RAID 0 arrays
Apevia X-Telestar Mid-tower
Zalman 92mm CPU cooler
ASUS 22" LCD

-Matt

Try this guide for starters, you'll just have to play around with your settings to see what you can end up with as stable.

I'd sell all those 3650s and get a single powerful card.

Hello and welcome to overclock.net and enjoy the great forums and wonderful people here.

4x cards in crossfire. I like to see some benchmarks from that rig.

Wow that's a great post in how to OC the 955! Thanks!

And yes, just installed Windows 7 64-bit yesterday! Lovin it!

I will get benchmarks as soon as I get the quad-crossfire thing working... right now I can only get 2 cards going into crossfire mode... not sure what the problem here is...

But, yes I can't wait to start tweaking this and working around with some better numbers Will post 3dmark stats soon!

That dual RAID-0 array must be nice. You've got a ton of storage space there.

I love the dual RAID 0 got my system temp files on the non-OS drive as well, which helps even more. I've been dreaming about building something like this for a loooong time... lots of planning, waiting, and it's finally here. Like a dream come true... Just need to learn how to fully utilize it all! That's a good thing to have to do...

And yeah I'm soooo stoked about the quad crossfire! Maybe I should start playing something besides command and conquer now...
