I might have done something very silly...

My computer has just decided to start making sense...

Kept the settings, ran Far Cry, crashed for the first time.

Upped Vcore to 1.8, was stable for a while.

Then, in a true display of "overclocked a bit too far" it crashed while playing, of all things, Starcraft. not a particularly demanding app, so now I plan maybe to run it with the front side bus at 210 or something safe (ish) until I get some water cooling in there. (The CPU hit 50 playing starcraft... that's more like it)

With a chip like that overclocking so well, I absolutely forbid you from burning it up! Enjoy! :D
 
Well, I had a think about how evil the nemesis of overheating is...

My peltier element is in the mail :D

That should augment my overclocking capability somewhat.
