Hola! Right now im running my rig, crash free, prime 95 for 2 hours and all with the following specs-
Intel Pentium D 915 @ 4.2 GHZ
Corsair DDR2-800 @ DDR2-1000

Is this good? The only disadvantage is even with watercooling im still getting mid 40's for idle and almost 60 load. Yes the GPU is in the loop but still... Maybe a new waterblock. Anyways, tell me what u think and blow me away with your guys awesome systems
 
sounds really good to me. 4.2ghz out of a 2.8ghz chip cant be bad.
i wouldnt worry about your temps at all. my 915 is on stock cooling @ 3.0ghz and i get between 40-58 or so. apparently this chip can handle being at 70c and above and still be stable. so ive heard.
do you know anything about asus boards by chance? like the p5vd2-vm? :p
cause this is my board. i had one of them die on me (not by overclocking) but it was a cheap board so i got another but my being paranoid that the boards gonna fail is the only reason i dont clock my cpu further.
