A shout out to @Norton for the CX430 PSU... here it is!
P6X58D‑E with i7 950, updated BIOS and 30 days on Win7 (to be replaced with Win 8.1). Does an easy 3.6 Ghz with stock cooler. Ran into a snag where I thought the MB was bad, but turned out I had RAM in the wrong slots. Hard to troubleshoot since I have another X58 WCG board (EVGA) and never ran into that problem/limitation. Lesson learned? Read the FRIGGEN manual! Oh and that 4th stick of RAM laying there will be used. According to the manual that I actually looked at, a 4th stick can be added and still run Tri-Channel.
This will be home to an X5670, and the EVGA X58 will have the i7 950. Got all the goods, everything's burn-in tested, BIOS updated, just need the time to put it all together. all said and done... 20 threads a Crunchin'. Not the most power efficient way to do it, but hey, it's going to be doing it...
