nice nice.... I used to have the NF4, very nice board, lots of features.  One thing I didn't like was the poor placment of the chipset and chipset fan.  My friend has the same board and his chipset fan burnt out because his video card pressed up against the fan... it ened up frying the board.  I didn't have a problem with mine, I had the revision right before that problem.

Is your a UV board?  Is anyone using SLI?

the chipset is in the dumbest place on my right under the video card were hot air gets blow on it. so made a copper heat pipe for it and it diverts it around the graphics card. no its not a UV board.

I was using SLI, but i had to get rid of it because i needed some fast cash.

right on.. so it's only your mobo holding you back from overclocking?  Is your memory good enough?  What's wrong with your mobo?

It's a Dell... lol

My memory is fine... not even close to holding me back...

i guess im one of the few lucky people that was able to get the 3700+ up to 2.75 on stock voltage ;)

yea ur lucky to get 2.75 on stock voltage, then again i guess im lucky to get 2.7 on stock voltage. maybe ill start messing around with the voltage and see what i can do.

Wow, I didn't think it could get any better.. but somehow I got it to run even cooler.

I just HAD to add this picture.  I made a few more changes in my BIOS and look at the results... WOW

My cpu is still overclocked 20.4% but my CPU is now running at 96

this is the best that i can overclock my system - after this, temperature becomes a big problem - i am expecting to get new much better cooling (cry0 !?...if it ever comes out) and push it even more - my ram is capable of more and so is my cpu - ive tested....

i run 2.75ghz 24/7 (stock vcore) - but this is my max stable o/c ive recorded so far
