OC Problems. X6800 / DFI Infinity 975x

[ChrisJSY]

standard intel 875 chipset cooler ... should be easy enough

Trying to find somewhere that does them, and standard does not seem to be enough for my nb

No they don't
It's the DFI board having passive cooling on the NB , meaning you need to really buy a new one.
Which practically every review overclocking on it failed to mention, and the temps in my room are nice.

I'm a little dissapointed with this DFI board, to be honest I was going with the ASUS originally but a friend mentioned this would be better, now i'm regretting it, i'll wait till he gets his and see how it fairs up.

For now, ....hmmm on the search for a good NB hsf.

That's only because it is an Infinity series. LanParty are the good boards - the infinity is no better than a.... Gigabyte . Kidding - but the Infinity series is pap - LP is the great clocking, all options board.

I'm not sure if this is considered a 'competitors' link... this is more of a manufacturers link, but please correct me if I am wrong.

That may be too big with my Vapochill HSF in the way tho :/

edit:
I guess im happy as is anyway with the whole system, can play anything and everything I have in full full full

when I do need to overclock however, I guess I will get a new mobo THEN.
But where's the fun in that, I didn't buy a X6800 for that reason, I bought it to go like hell!

Now the back of my mind is spinning words like phase-change/water cooling, make it stop, aah!
