But i guess you didnt want to know the specs but the overclock right?

I want to get this system maxed out. Right now i've done the 4% bios overclock, so it's now 3.58ghz, very stable, stressed temp = 50°c.

I know this motherboard hasnt got a very good reputation for overclocking, and my bios wont let me overclock any further than this.
So i guess, now it's the softwaretools taking over right?
Anyone wants to give me few tips? Or help me a hand? Because i kinda know square about overclocking p4's (barton :klap:)

Greetings,

I dont know, but it seems standard cooling if you ask me..

aah, now i know, the "alien-ice" cooling are the front intakes.
They look like this:

i've checked my temperatures with rivatuner, and i think this card runs nice & cool.
