Here's the clockgen tut.

I would use the provided fan if it does the job and wasn't noisy.

Sometimes there is another row of screws for a larger fan as well.

Try to obtain high volume / RPM ratio, the slower the fans, the quieter.

Roger di, I may have to drill to 10 - 11mm if the fan I find is larger.

Thanx for the write up, gives us a base.
It makes sence to UNDerlock for everyday use, and have set figures to put the sliders to for fs9.

1. My clockgen figures, given earlier, on CPU multiplier show maxed as yours.
My CPU MAX Volts is 1.450, can I raise to 1.450 as you?

2. My PCIexprs is LOCKED (does'nt move with HTT), but

1. Your CPU voltage is monitored in BIOS, check the figure that BIOS gives against what is is actually set for.
See how that corresponds with Clockgen's figure.
Find out what your default CPU voltage is. Compare it to what clockgen shows.
Don't mess with any core voltage yet, you need a lot more understanding of the architecture and I suggest you go reading some O/C'ing tutorials found on the web.

2. Instability can result if the PCI bus is overclocked too much, it should be locked, if your bios doesnt support this, it's possible a BIOS upgrade may. Research it.
The PCIe bus speed should be locked and left at 100mhz.

3. The PCI bus should be locked, it won't work at 100mhz. You seem to have a basic confusion between PCI and PCIe. PCI slots are for old sound and network cards etc., PCIe is a new bus standard.
Components on those buses rely on the speed standard to function properly and may not tolerate much variation on the bus speed. Clockgen is useful for determining whether your buses are locked.

I have the Asus K8N SLI board, which works great. Then again mine is optimised for the Geforce 7800GT.

I doubt a Asus K8N-SLI exists, I also doubt any board is "optimised" for a 7800GT. Sounds like marketing codswallop to me.
