Found my old Mushkin ram I used to run in this board. It seems to be happiest here so I'm going to leave it be for the time being. Loading Steam and Far Cry 3 right now...we'll see what the little cards can do. Oh yeah, a fresh hdd and OS install as well.

Well, the 8800 GT's would work for a game like Call of Duty, but in Far Cry 3 they just won't cut the mustard. The GTX 295's are another matter...very nice game play with high settings.







Sorry, forgot the framerate overlay in the screenshots. Ran around 35/65fps.

Vantage run required to crush the MSI lappy score ............

May have to rethink this...I suspect there is a problem with this chip. No amount of tweaking will allow it to exceed 3100MHz on the Evga mb using water or air. It hits a wall there and simply refuses to boot. I have tried it in the Intel mb and it does not like it at all straying from default settings. I believe it corrupted the OS so I reinstalled, but it makes no difference.

That's a drag, must have pounded on it a bit to hard in the day. did you try dropping the 9550 in ........... ?
