I have no new pics for ya , but im running the same hardwares as last year.. just got the MOBO RMA number from ASUS a YEAR later for that Maximus II Formula I got last march...(bad asus) So Im running this P5Q Pro Turbo ( all the turbo means .. is that they have included the new TurboV software for this board.. a Pro with 1 extra heatsink and new softwares..) But while Im waiting for the M2F to return Ill be using this baby.. so far it can do 515 on the bus .... and I had a hard time getting 500 on the M2F.. I really hope they fix my board....
Anyways.... all is well guys.. keep up the great work fellas! And yes... Im still planning on adding the WC Loop soon to this rig.. as soon as I get my board back from ASUS.. That way I can get what I can out of this rig untill I save up for the new rig... next year =]

Speaking of cleaning, I need to desperately clean both of my rigs, the PCB on my GB board which was blue is now white

Yeah, I need to clean mine out. My cat is shedding right now and my PC has been trying to suck it all up.

Oh, and I hate waiting for USPS to show up.. I want my 5770!

You'll love it. right now I just finished playing some BC2 maxed out with 16AA and all and it took it like a champ. Keep in mind only one card, the 2nd one is in my i7 folding for the CC.

Wow, awesome. Can't wait for it to get here even more now.

Oh, and I just got some canned air and cleaned out my PC. It wasn't as dusty as I thought it would be since I haven't cleaned it out in a while. But there was some kitty hair stuck to my Zalman cooler.

OK here ya go T77! as you can see ive already skint it up alot but i dont really care as of now cause my cathode inverter has crapped out so you really cannot see it unless you shine a light in the case. once i get a new inverter i will do 1 or 2 more coats on the case. Last night i did some more OCing but didnt let the CPU get over 65 deg. Got it at 3.2ghz with ram running 800mhz 1.8V

you might find one of those little AMD stock coolers with the 4 heatpipes to be a better cooler in there

is there really any purpose to the plastic shroud on it, to me it looks like an orb cooler.

I'm not sure about the cooler on it. I think the plastic shroud is so the air from the fan cools other areas, although I'm unsure.

But I'm in the middle of testing the card out now, so far so good.
