[QUOTE="K.I.T.T., post: 171133, member: 2098"] I can't tell if there is any real world performance increase..It's maybe 5-10 FPS, but then again, my previous rig at stock was more than capable of handling any game at 1280 x 1024 with 4 x aa and 8 x af, so I can't really tell for sure. And as far as the mobos being buggy, it doesnt seem like a bug, more of a serious problem with certain mobos...not all P5W's are built the same it seems. 400 MHz FSB may not seem shabby, but you should expect 450 on average...It's definitely not the chip holding me back. And undervolted by 0.1v, Idle temps are 37, and load is around 50 with a stock P4 540j heatsink at 1600 RPM (2700 max). The heatsink is really bad...when i start y PC, idle temps are actually about 26*C and then it slowly creeps up to 36. I blame the heatsink...doesn't seem it is very efficient. These temps are at a romm temperature of ~20*C according to a calibrated digital thermometer. So with a good heatsink, idle temps should be very close to ambient. I reckon with a big typhoon, load temps would be below 35*C. [/QUOTE]
