Sorry I have skimmed through a less than half the threads here going backwards and I see a lot of people talking about OC'n their Avalon's at stupid clock rates. 
I have a few general questions about the settings on the Avalon.
Is there a sweet spot on the Avalon so that your not stressing it out too much?
I noticed on my Avalon which is running at 350Mhz that the power cord started to head up, it was one of those workstation type power cords, I replaced it with a server cord which are thicker, and I plug mine into APC surge protector and directly into the wall. What are people's thoughts on using an UPS? I noticed on my Avalon when I plugged it into my newer APC BackUPS Pro 1500 and flipped the setting on the UPS to show me the wattage being used that my system is using about 735 watts.
Thanks
