Phenom II status - running with a patched $25 heatsink/fan in a small closed case...

Used the Gigabyte overclock utility to test the system. Bumped the speed and re-ran the Vista "Windows Experience Index" (WIP) tool.

Up to 3.5ghz it was fine, part way through running the WIP tool at 3.6ghz it rebooted, and when it restarted the Gigabyte overclocking utility wouldn't run.

There's a newer version out, so I'll try that one. Maybe I need to lower some of the other speeds (memory, PCI, video) as I'm overclocking the CPU.

I am not an experienced overclocker.
