I got my e8400 up to 3.6 with stock volts. I hit 4+ stable for 4 hours with minor volt increases, but my memory wouldn't stay stable past that (I'm just running DDR2 800). Also, how are you liking the Cosmos S? I considered it, but I decided to go for quiet, since this would be the third computer in my small office. Also, I previously had an Antec P150 that I liked.
Est: Nice! I'd never considered going small form factor before, but you might have changed my mind. My previous build had a Lanparty NF4 board, but I decided to go with the Gigabyte this time to save some money. What kind of temps are you getting in your case?
clockworkjames: It was me with the Tuniq Tower. I've never used any other 775 coolers before, but I can't really see a compelling reason to switch. I am amazed at the efficiency of this cooler. I'm afraid it might break my mobo in half someday, but I do like it anyway.

Anyone got any recommendations for PWM fan controllers? The Tuniq has a manual fan, and I've got an Enermax Cluster (which are going for like, $7 on Newegg right now with a rebate) for the middle chamber, so I thought I'd put in a controller.

Thanks :D I managed to boot into windows at 4GHz at 1.2v with this cpu, it rocks :D VID of 1.18v. It'll do 1.225v stable at 4GHz. Also, the cosmos is amazing. It's so big, plenty of room to work with, great if you want to go watercooling. It's quite too, a lot quieter than my antec 900 was. You can stick 7 120mm fans in the case, plus the 300mm or so fan on the side. Cooling is amazing.

GuitarFreak, nice block! I am pretty sure that is the block I want when I finally get a decent one. (or an EK, not 100% but I think the Swiftech is easier for me to get).
Dennis, since buying my board I've noticed a lot more mATX stuff coming out. Asus is bringing out an mATX range in the Republic of Gamers series with the suffix "Gene". Looks pretty good for a high-end enthusiast board (aka $$$) but I am still really happy with my LanParty Jr.

Thanks. Can't wait to get the rad and pump. Got the res this week and have the tubing and some other things coming tuesday. I picked up a pc power & cooling 750w psu to replace my corsair since it's dying, which sucks :( Here's a pic of the res...
Also, new power supply came today :D
est:
That is a pretty cool res. I would love to get one of the aluminium ones that are about that size, then bore holes in my case and mount it just outside the case with the tubes running inside. Either on the top of the case or (more likely with my case) on the off-side of it would be pretty cool, I think.

That sounds pretty cool.
The res looks good in the case too...
Stuck it in so I could wire around it. Should be able to get everything else in a week or two...

Because they're noobs and don't know how to use it. The debug LED will tell you why it's not POSTing also, very helpful when overclocking so you know why it's not working.
