IMHO, I would say OCZ but then again Im a fan boi of them so...

There are a few that are good though. All can be OC'd to some extent.

Try browse some hardware sites or google for some.

Hi guys.

I got my 7300GS on Friday AND a ZALMAN cooler! :D

One new problem: On stock cooling the PC worked fine. But when I installed the ZALMAN, it booted, but then restarted when loading windows. I (unhappily) reset all my bios settings, and then booted again, and windows loaded and worked fine...

Do you have ANY explanation on this problem??

Not sure but it seems like the problem started with the 7300GS and the new cooler at the same time.

Seems like the PSU cant handle everything together.

Ok! Got a ZALMAN PSU sunday (yesterday):!:

I didn't OC again as you can see in my sig, but I am going to do it again.

I just want you guys (and girls if there is any here) to help me OC it to the extreme. I wan't to OC the CPU, Graphics Card AND RAM.

I've already reached a good OC with the CPU, so that isn't a problem, but if anyone can give me a few pointers and tips on getting the 3.6GHz MAX mark I strive for, go 4 it.

Also, in my bios it says something about PCI-E Clock... Any help or info on this??

Dude, you will NEVER hit 3.6Ghz, ever. Unless you've got a phase change cooler, or dry ice, or liquid nitrogen, you will never hit 3.6Ghz. You'll be lucky if you hit 3Ghz.

OK Dae... I hit 3GHz with stock cooling. I can do more than that, and I will. I asked for help, so don't post this bull#### about "you will never hit 3.6Ghz" please. I see that as spamming the thread...

But thanks for the input... Do you know how I can OC my GFX card? Or what PCI-E Clock stands for? (Currently set to 100)

Well like i said, you'll be lucky if you hit 3Ghz, and you WERE lucky.

I'm just telling you, base on what i've seen and read, 3.6 is really just not gonna happen.

But ok, give it a shot.

And frikken relax dude, i was giving you my opnion on your goals.

ROFL at the idea of 3.6 on air.

I am willing to put money on that CPU not hitting 3.6 even under LN

Please post some proof of that 3.0 stable on Prime95 please.

And don't swear dude. Its not very manly of you.

Keep your pci-e clock on 100 and forget about it, you do not want to change it.

I did run it at 3.0, but then the CPU temps shot through the roof (when i started the prime95 drill)!!! If you check a few pages back, I did post the CPU-Z readings on the CPU!

If you are such a 1337 OC hacker why do you need to ask?

I only said don't post crap, like you're doing now. And there's nothing wrong with believing in yourself.

There's nothing wrong with believing in yourself, but there IS something wrong with flaming an experienced overclocker when he gives you his opinion.
