    A reg cleaner....clearing out the extra background processes....other than that...

    You could pin-mod...that will void your warranty...you can try to OC the RAM...that will void the warranty...

    That thing is a monster man...what else could you want!!! :p

    How many processes do you have running in the background?? That's about the best you can do, without some other mod. Personnaly, I think the pinmod is worth it, but others would disagree. Still a good score though
