I have found a way to get the start menu / task bar in the middle of a surround monitor setup! Aston2 Windows Shell replacement. http://www.astonshell.com/index.html

Hi All, After having steam for a few years now and going through copying games too and from the limited 120GB SSD capacity from backup copies on a HDD, I got sick of it and found a new solution that works flawlessly to have steam games on the SSD and also on another HDD! (in my case an...

I just discovered that you can use Matrox PowerDesk software on Nvidia Surround to setup virtual monitors, it's similar to Hydragrid on Eyefinity setups but seems to work better. Finally I can leave my system in surround view 6040x1080 with 4way SLI and use the monitors as 3 individual...

How about a Vantage run without GPU physics? ;) P.S. Very nice upgrade and "workstation" there! ;)

Here's my best result at 5Ghz so far. Still have a bit more tweaking to do but this looks like the best I can do till I get a bit more voltage into the GPUs. 3DMark Score P20670 Graphics Score 27595 Physics Score 12532 Combined Score 10835

Thanks yes it sure is! If your referring to the ATX 24pin cable before it was sleeved, that is the factory configuration for these PSUs, I didnt have a choice but to use that layout and also the factory cables were not long enough.

Vantage not quite as close since it's more CPU skewed. But still pretty close!

Im pretty impressed with this 990X chip! Here's stock settings under prime95. Ambient room temp 26c. Here's the max OC with stock volts and vdroop Level 2 turned on. Here's what's really impressive.. I beat my old best score with a lower CPU 990x OC of only 4.8Ghz and the...

It looks like more than it is, its spread quite thin with a razor blade. Thanks!! :) Funny bloke!

Before & After

It feels great to have it all working but i still have quite a few things left to do and an RMA for the CPU to get rolling. The Intel RMA left today so the new CPU will be on its way back to me by the end of the week! Still left to-do... Shorten and Sleeve Sata Cables Make and Sleeve...

I managed to get the GPUs to 970/2200 still at 1.2v, found a bit of ICH & IOH tweaking was the cause of instability, not the GPU voltage! :) There's a bit more in it too, I have the GPUs now stable at 980/2200 but combined test is failing which means a bit more ICH IOH tweaking! Comparing...

Before I get into benching I need to explain that my 990x had degraded from high memory volts/clocks so I was lucky Intel agreed to an RMA.. It will get a replacement early next week. OK so on with the 1st bench with new GPU OC and i7 950 vs my old 990X with GPUs on air. I can get more out...

IT LIVES!!!!! :shock::shock::shock: Still have some tidying to do.. The bays are not screwed in yet because I still need to work around them for the final cabling and tidying and to able to check for leaks! :):):) Idle...

Tubing all done!!! What do you think?
