Just making sure it was that we had talked about Shaun. Sad day when you go man but if it's what you gotta do we can understand. Good luck and stay in touch.

I was supposed to sell the Phenom rig, but instead I sold just the CPU The rig though is FS (with its AIIX4) and should be gone within the next couple weeks.

Should have an extremely efficient Sempron 140 coming online for crunching, although it will not be a 24/7 rig.

Im a little anxious to see how the Mega cools the i7 when the real heat hits. I really dont think its going to like 100F degree weather! Winter gave us all a great run

Further into Youngstown rather than a small township/suburb of. Only about 2 miles from where I am currently. Furthermore, I may even not be back to TPU for a while.

Now that's a bummer. Hope you're able to make it back relatively quickly.

The Q9550! I wish I never sold mine and kept it instead of building my Phenom rig 98% of the time it ran cooler than the Phenom even when OCed to equal clocks (3.4ghz) and put out great BOINC PPD. Rock solid CPU.

In all fairness though you have to consider the upgrade path with a 775 which is non-existent, but if you get one cheap and have a 775 board that takes 45nm quads- it will not disappoint.

thats what i was thinking, but then again, might just buy a 785g board, + a PII X6 when they come out, they should be pretty cheap,

but idk, will have to think about it for a few days

+ as you say there is 0 upgrade options with the 775 boards, and a x58 is a tad to expensive to me still. + there wont be any real upgrades to that until 2011 or late 2010 that is affordable

The 785 route is very tempting- considering its the same route I went with my budget Phenom X6 support and prices are great like you say. It is probably the better move at the moment.

Personally I will be delving into 6+ core CPUs in the fall for prices and the weather

Flying past the 1/4 mill mark yes. New bios update and now past 4 GHz and still below 60 C. Let's see if it is stable this time. I'm still running @ 1.184 V

In all fairness - the room is only 15 C and it is an open rig. I do have an OC 9800 GTX running folding next to it but I don't think it adds to more then 1 degree C. Last time I checked it was 54, 57, 58 and 59 C and no yellow LEDs is on (internal GB talk). I'm please about the Noctua´s performance but I do read the WC reviews. WC is the way to go when it gets hot.
