nice setup for you as well.
What have you found as far as your overclock goes? 3.5ghz is pretty common at stock voltage... |

You should definitely install a case fan in the rear there, next to your CPU. |

Got my X3 720 coming in on monday with a GA-MA785G-UD3H board. Definitely going to up the clock after an initial stress test. Might try to unlock, but didn't get it for that. I'll take pics too. |

1st, you should get a 120mm fan to help exhaust hot air out the back of your case.
2nd, you should start raising your multi to see where it starts becoming unstable. I believe HT is similiar to FSB, which is what your ram runs at. Post back with any results

If I had to guess I would say that the inside holes there are for 80mm fans and slightly further-out ones are for 92mm fans. Get a 92mm fan. |

MY Bios settings:
go to the 'T-Series' subheading in the BIOS:
Overclock Naviagator = Manual
CPU/HT = 213
CPU FID Custome P-Stats =
Enable
Core FID = 16.5X
Core VID = 1.4v
NB FID = 2000mhz
Voltage config = startup
Chipset = 1.35v
HT Overvoltage = 1.30v
DRAM Timing = Auto
This should give you a 3.5ghz overclock. I have C-n-Q enabled, which runs me at 850mhz at idle.
Good luck! |

you shouldn't have a problem. What are your temps? If you are at/below 50c at full load, I wouldn't worry at all. It'll easily last the duration you will use that CPU, until your next upgrade. |

I need a decent and quiet case fan to replace the fan I put in there. I spent 10 bucks on trash. |

Prime 95 was kicked off late last night | 
system is not sluggish even with all cores going | 
cpu | 
bought this memory at the same time |
Having problems booting with the memory at 1066. I checked
gskill's forums and it seems to be a common issue. at 800 i can use
667 timings and pass memtest, but at 1066 with different settings
memtest fails. i don't want to bump the voltages up so i might just
run it at 800. |

1066mhz ram requires 2.1 volts. Are you running 2.1 volts, or are you sitting at 1.8 volts (typical for 800 mhz ram)?
Bump it to 2.1 volts. There's not many ram sticks that run below that voltage...
If you look at the specs for your ram, it specifically states '2.0 - 2.1v' (your label even validates the fact), so I would bet they are underpowered.

Raise your multi again and see what happens. If you start seeing it becoming unstable, add a little more voltage. |

Nampa, ID | You may have hit your ceiling... although with those temps it seems unlikely.
Be happy with 3.5, that's still a pretty decent clock speed. |
