not delved into the whole OC part much yet, all i did was bump up the fsb a little and run the q6700 cpu at 3.1ghz (stock voltage!) the rest of the bios is all on auto at the moment, and i feel i could do a good few tweaks to sweeten things up, the 275gtx card is running stock, iirc the CPU/DDR ratio is 4:5 as well so the memory timings and such need looked at

This just gets worse and worse ![Frown](images/smilies/frown.gif)
I have discovered the reason for my system melt down, the 650watt psu i was using had blown a capacitor, this is why i found half a cap inside my case (dropped down from the psu)
I finally discovered the problem today, while finishing off the system and removing the stopgap 355watt psu i was using, and refitting the 650watt one so i could finish off my overclocking.
Yup, i have blown another feckin motherboard![Cry2](images/smilies/cry2.gif)

My new P5QL Pro mobo will not POST![Cry2](images/smilies/cry2.gif)
Switching it on, it all fires up, fans start to spin, and then the stopgap psu shuts everything down and retrys to run in a constant loop![Cry2](images/smilies/cry2.gif)
I have just ordered ANOTHER
P5QL PRO motherboard to rebuild the machine, along with a new PSU from overclockers

At least i got to the bottom of the problem i suppose![Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)](images/smilies/rolleyes.gif)
damage so far
PSU cap blown = 2 x mobos dead, one keyboard, one x360 wired controller
