Or you could just run two instances of prime 95.

After getting nowhere with XFX, we finally got ahold of someone at tigerdirect who could do somthing aside from read english catchphrases with a heavy indian accent and have a replacement board on the way, I should be pushing 3.4ghz by mid-week.

Got the new board on tuesday..hooked it up, and it crashed at the exact same place it was before.
Swapped out every single component in the system with others in the house, same fucking problem.
Reinstalled vista, all better.
Just got a new CPU fan today, it was running in the mid 60's overclocked, so I went from a 1k RPM fan to a 5k RPM fan, its now sitting at 27C per core and 34C cpu temp at idle, well under 50 at load. Will be bumping back up to 3.2ghz or so on damn near stock voltage shortly.
Edit: Just ran orthos, 44/45C under 100% load @ stock, a solid 10-15C cooler than before the new fan.

So it was the vista installation that was fucking it up? Did you stick to 64 bit on the reinstall?

I should get back to nature, too. You know, like going to a shop for groceries instead of the computer. Maybe a condo in the woods that doesn't even have a health club or restaurant attached. Buy a car with only two cup holders or something. -Signe

Yea, vista home premium 64 bit both times. Actually, 3 times, one of the windows updates for the nvidia drivers completely fucked my system and I had to reinstall, did the same thing to the old mans computer too, so auto updates off is a must.
Messing around with OCing again this weekend, shooting for 3.2ghz ish.
