Hi,
I though I best introduce myself before asking questions and wanting loads of help

My name is Jules and I'm on the wrong side of 40.

I built a new gaming rig last week and now look to overclock it. It is not my first build by far but it will be my first attempt to overclock. I found this forum by
chance and hope to get the advice i need.

Here is my spec...
Q6600 GO
Foxconn Mars MB
Nvidia GTX 260 graphics
OCZ Technology 2x1GB PC2-6400 DDR2 Platinum
Akasa 3U HEATPIPE CU BASE LO-NOISE PWM FAN
EZ cool 700w PSU
WD caviar 250 x2 HD on Raid 0
all in a Gigabyte GZ x2 black case.

Welcome to the forums.

Foxconn Mars, how have you been getting along with it?

Welcome to the forums Jules

Thank you all for the welcome.

About the Mars MB, it is a very neat and tidy board, cool NB heatsink and fan set up. it's running a treat for now, but how it holds out when overclocked I do not know.
Finding it difficult to source any good info on it, even their own forum prefers to drool on about BlackOps, and help was hard to find, so I though I would give this place a go.

Why I chose the Mars over other good boards I do not know, maybe it was the fancy red box it came in.

Not sure about the dog tags and tattoos though.

Have you checked out Supershanks' review of it in the reviews section? Might be worth a butchers

Welcome Jules.

Hey there and welcome!

Don't worry, i still have to see a flame war in here, or anything even rude, we are all mild mannered lads.
So, as long as you don't go in the "Pr0n Pictures" section of the forums it should be allright.

Don't put too much strain on that EZ-Cool as they aren't the best brand of PSU.
