The good news is I have cleaned out the basement in this old farm house I live in now and discovered a work bench, After digging through any throwing away all the articacts laying down there and some shop vac work I have discovered a little work area that I think will serve me well

So I will be insulating up an old x38 Maximus Formula and all though I won't be competing to get up on this list's in the OP, I will be working some 2D retro benching this month to keep in the spirit of things ...

First up will be a Q6600

Best of luck to all as we try to hold off Mod labs and gain some ground on Hellas .....

Rip it up one and all ................

nice work area bro

Thanks man, '

Got the board insulated what a PITA, this board is a chore ,,,,,,,,,

wd

you got subzero...

you practically should be in our top...

winxp and win7 are easy to tweak...

maxing out cpu and ram are also doable...just need the right tools....

me and dom and ocm and ny_driver..chat and they always help me out....you can ask these guys anytime..they practically bench 24/7 and ....i tell you what..ocm and dom and nydriver have all their tweaks ....tweaked...

Just a single stage, and Dice...........

Not set up up for cold juice, maybee one of these days

Disposable cooling is not in the budget right now, Will just use SS unless of corse I stumble on to a golden chip.

Then I will grab some dice, the econemy has really hit my benching hard, but I do what I can

But any help is always appreciated bro, will hit you guys up for sure, my 2D shit sucks, ............

I really like doing 3D, but need 5 GHZ.... this Q6600 won't do that .... would be thrilled with 4.4 to 4.5 on the single stager

[kikicoco1334]

that is a great looking setup man!

wish i never sold my Q6600!

I know it is Five App February but went ahead and ordered a 5770 Hawk today for some 3D hardware boints. 580 is still in the works to be ordered Monday.

asus 580 direct cu..is almost out...or is that what you'll be buying...?

[DrNip]

Nah. Prolly won't fit in my case. Got to keep it 10.5" or shorter to fit. I know laugh all you want. I'm a case man now a days. Having a baby puts a damper on your benching style. I don't have it like i use too.

[Hondacity]

i think its short...but 3 slots lol

[DrNip]

3 slots would fit my case just fine. Prolly wait a couple of weeks or at least to see the specs on it. The card did perk my attention. Until then the Hawk can hold me off.
