I'm not buying another one, it was only those 3 we could manage to get our hands on.

@ bloodthirst: I know I'm going to raid 0 2 of them, I'm wondering whether i should 0 the OS and use the other for games, 0 my games and use the other for the OS, or 0 the OS and games and use the other for random data.

Well, I'm going to test tonight how high my mobo is able to go and we'll see from there. Edit: My method of testing is setting the htt multi to 3x (doesn't really matter since my htt i/o link seems to be kinda busted) the cpu multi to 7x, setting the divider at ddr200, and dropping the vcore to 1.4. Then I'm going to superpi 1m test it to 250. Then I'm going to push up the fsb up by 5-7, superpi 1m it, and prime95 it for like 5-10 minutes until I hit a stopping point. Is this a generally acceptable method?

I'm almost positive I only jammed the arm of the hsf, so I'm asking whether anyone has any ideas for helping me get the hsf off.

More opinions on each ofthe questions would be greatly appreciated!

Well, I decided that I'm going to be lazy and keep my ASUS board. I really don't want to practically rebuild my comp. Using the above method, my mobo went up to 300 for sure, I didn't test any higher cause of time issues. I'll slap in the new CPU when I get a chance.
