So youve 'unlocked' your 8800, did you use the performance BIOS that I post on evo forums m8?

BTW you should consider getting some rounded IDE cables and do away with the flat ones ;)
 
yeah got it off evo website mate the round ide cables are allready on there way lol
 
10/10. Another Twin Engine case!! If we had all the Twin Engine machines in one room, we could create a black hole!!

What is that stuff over your cables? I love it, it really cleans up the power cables.

o.O" you could fold the ribbon cable behind the mobo, zip them cables aside ( this is not telling to clean them, this is suggesting. ) and question, how do you get 8k when i get 10500 with my e6300 @ 3.0 and 8800gts oc'd :O and i get 315 fps in source, high settings ( non oc'd 8800gts )
 
That mobo looks so bada$$.

You shouldnt worry too much about your Southbridge m8, it only controls the SATA etc and barely gets hot ;)

PS: what speeds did your card go upto after applying the BIOS flash? I got Flash's/Red5's new POV 8800GTS 320mb upto 600MHz/1800MHz :)
 
I love the case, that's the second person I've seen with the same case.
