Thanks noob.
Very informative.My 12 v rail are very stable,goes down to 12.16 and stays there,no matter what the load and how long I play.I increased my cpu Vcore to 1.35 for this
oc,and my scores increased by a few hundred points,ran 3D mark 2006 last nite,with 174.93 drivers,got 10505 at default resolution,went up from 9878.I tested it with Vcore at 1.33.7,or there abouts,got the same 9878,but when I upped the Vcore to 1.35,voila,more points,is that possible,as the pc did not reboot or anything before,it benched ok.
Cheers and many thanks.
Oh yes,the Zalman paste is settling in now,cpu max temp with fan at full tilt is at 33-34 degrees.
