Right now i got 2x 3870s at 840/1181, 3 scythe ultra kazes, 2 250 raptors, 2 cd drives, dfi lp dk lt2rs, q9450@3.2ghz, 8gb a ram 2.0v, wireless card. And I can get it to overclock past 3.2ghz without BSOD or a freeze, Something is leading me to think that I don't have enough power because when I put the second 3870 in I had to underclock 200mhz to get stable and turn voltages down, I got a OCZ extremegamer 850w, but I don't know I've tried all kinds of settings some boot, but fail to load windows or some load windows but when I open something it freezes or BSOD i've increased my voltages of my SB,1.6 NB 1.55 CPU VTT 1.4 with my CPUV up too 1.29 and ram up to 2.2v and notthing.
