sorry. phone and computer have both been down. Just got a replacement from AT&T yesterday and just got the computer back up last night just long enough to post this.

Let me know if you still need anything, I will hook you up.

nice!!AMD now has the X965 that runs at 3.4GHz and x17.however,you could get the same performance out of the 955 if you just flash the BIOS and set it to x17 instead of the x16 it comes stock with.don't get me wrong,the i7s are nice,but the problem with Intel is that when they issue a new CPU,it comes with a new socket as well and then when you want to upgrade from what you have to the newest chip,99% of the time you can't put the new chip on the same board,so you're left only with the options of either overclocking or adding a liquid-cooling system to keep up with the new benchmarks that they are advertizing at that time.sucks for those that don't have the money or rsources to do all the upgrades right then and there with.still,nice setup,great numbers,and great job.it says that your GPU is running hotter than it should or would like to.have you looked at getting any coolers for your GPU yet or have you thought about adding any RAM coolers to the systemas well?a buddy of mine and i had overclocked a 2.2GHz intel chip to 4.3GHz on air cooling and all we did that you haven't done is add the coolers to the parts that didn't already have a cooler attached to them.it runs steady at 4.3GHz at 42 degrees.liquid cooling got it down to at its lowest 34 degrees.wether or not he's got it liquid-cooled still or what i have no idea.for all i know,he may have just scrapped it and sold it for spare parts to those wbho were looking for extras.

you sob. i want an i7 in the future.

[dtmcnamara]

the problem with Intel is that when they issue a new CPU

thats what extended warranties are for...lol

break it and bring it back and build something new...lol

but truthfully I do hate Intel for the socket change, look we have another coming out in a few weeks, 1156....and guess what, we will be back to dual channel memory again...WTF!!!


O well, like I said, get a warranty and then when you want to upgrade just blow it...and replace it

How is windows seven?
I'd upgrade, but one of my primary uses is recording, and my sound card only has an XP driver.

I stand corrected, it now supports Vista.
I don't even think this thing works for mac...

[civicturbo10]

You got PM, lmk if you can help me out on those items. Back on the hunt for Core i7 components since it's on sale and in stock....

nice are you planning on SLI ?

[allmotoronly]

Nice setup. I'm currently running an i7-940 and 8gb ram. Haven't tried OC'ing yet, I'm still breaking it in lol. Maybe in a week or so I will start adding some extra cooling units for the CPU and GPU. Let me know how your's is holding up. I may have to go with liquid cooling on mine to get what I want out of it...

[dtmcnamara]

nice are you planning on SLI ?

yep. waiting on the ATI 5000 series or GTX 300 series to come out first...lol
