I decided to fore-go the whole "tech station" trend and go nutz on my desk.

It isn't finished yet, as the last of my stuff is on the way









Then this showed up, and I couldn't resist.....












So after a loooong morning of running around town, I decided to stop and reward myself with a little dice-scream.











I didn't get much out of my old 780i, which I have all but pronounced dead. She did good up to 4.6ghz, but got squirly a tad higher, and I couldn't get it under control for the rest of the run. Clocked it all the way back to 1600fsb just to get it to boot again. Couldn't push it past 1800fsb no matter what I did.

Oh well, I honed in the pot, and timed the DICE really well and kept it around -70 the entire time.

Above all, fun to build, fun to bench. More pics of the underside when all is tidy.

Here is more for the monster....

Yeah.... lol The NB and SB were running so hot that I had to pull out the old a/c mod hose to blow cold air over the board.... POS 'till the end. Going to spring for a topower i45 for more 775 benchies later.

Nice job face!

When my desk was in the designing stages I was planning on running a setup much like that one as well. Looking good

[FACE]

Thanks all!

More to come. Getting the classy prepped right now for a test run with this 920 C0... Once I've beat on this chip (ever so gently) it's going back in the daily.

Setup for this weekend (package pending):

Classy 760
920 D0
Mushkin Black XP3-12800 7-8-7-20
Every GPU I own
Corsair 950TX Backed by a Toughpower 750.

Yeah this guys knows! The Giga EP45-UD3P or the EP45T-UD3P (DDR3) are sweet boards as well.

DOH! I think I either have a CB or a bad mount on the chip.....

now I sit and wait....

[Splave]

Prob a cold bug around -40

I love your desk though
