Sorry for the long post, got a lot of questions and comments during the past 10 mins
Futuremark - ORB - Result Analyzer
This is with all stock e6600 and gtx and 2 gigs of G.skill ram at mobo auto settings ( which I heard apparently is at 5-5-5 something instead of the 4-4-4-12 )
Anyways I was unable to get a benchmark out until I got Riva tune and cranked that sucker up to 100% fan speed, whats weird is after the test I checked the temps and it was 67 celcius AFTER the benchmark score ( which doesn't make sense cause before 74 was the idle ) I still need to call them to see why my card is so abnormally hot ( runs at idle of 74 )
anyways I seemingly have fixed the whole ram BSOD mania by moving one of my g.skill rams out. So I thought 1 was bad, however when I put them both in slot #1 and #2 they worked fine with no BSODs at all. ( Before it was in slot #1 and slot #3, is there some kind of conflict involving that? the reason I did this was to dissapate heat )
BTW how is my score for all stock gtx, e6600, and 2 gigs of ram? It seems a little low compared to people of the other systems, but futuremark may not report if they overclocked their GTXs.
I still need to do memtest on all my ram to be sure its safe, any thoughts anyone? Will running the fan speed at 100% severely reduce the life of my card? ( in which case I can just RMA it? If I didn't turn in the mail in rebate? )
