Hey guys, well got this system a few weeks ago, originally with a scythe ninja rev.b cooler, and my temps for load at 2.8ghz went as high as 60 degrees C according to TAT. So I returned that and replaced it with a Thermalright Ultra 120. Now my load temps are 49 degrees, (one hour orthos).
For the CPU voltage I kicked it down abit, the BIOS settings with the DS3 don't quite match up with the CPUZ voltage, currently in CPUZ it's running at 1.184v (BIOS lists it as 1.175v).
Got Geil DDR800 Cas4 Ram running at cas5 latencies at 900Mhz, 2.2v. It's rated for use between 1.9v and 2.3v.
Overall very happy with it, don't think I can push the CPU much further without better RAM, any higher clocks will just stress it, but perhaps the memory has a bit more room in it.
Got a 7900GTO, which I run mostly at stock, but the nVidia drivers and tuner are very temperamental currently, so I'm avoiding that until those issues are sorted out (although it was overclocked for the 3dmark score shown).
