That`s right. I`ve had about every 03 record I can muster out of the ole NF7-S combo in the VapoMAXX (http://www.justwebit.com/sites1/42124/vapomaxx.jpg)....time for some new blood. :)
I`ve been thinking about what dirrection to go, and there`s no way I can compete with the guys at the top of the records *cough*Fugger*cough* with the funds I have and stay there for any more then a day and a half or so, so... I`m moving on to new grounds and new challanges. I found these (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=6717527751&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT) on e-bay and scored them right up. Then I ordered one of these (http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=13-130-436&depa=0) with a set of these (http://www.monarchcomputer.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=M&Product_Code=140740&Category_Code=REG_OCZ).
I`m thinking LS and XE cooling the CPUs with a PE on the VC should make for one heck of a gamer unit, and one **** -of-a folding machine! :D
Comments? concerns? Warnings of impending doom and gloom?? Post them here. :)

For some reason all of them were topping off at around 2.2GHz no matter what cooling or voltage was applied to them, but that was a wile ago and I havn't seen anyone else try to do anything with them recently.

...from what I was reading in a sticky thread at 2cpu.com (http://forums.2cpu.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=43961) people are OC`ing the crap out of them with that MSI and doing nicely on air and water. Phase-change should be interesting for the pair.
