Please share your experience with that board.. I got P35-DS4 recently and like it very much, I'll be working on tweaks on Wednesday.

Excellent present, please keep us informed of the build.
Hehe luckily we don't have UPS here, but for some reason they decided that the closest warehouse was in norway :clap: so it's gonna be a day or two before I get the ram :mad:
Okay a little update, finally recieved the ram :)
loads of pic goodness for you guys
the TRUE 120 was pulled from my old rig hehe, I'm not much of the cleaning type...
Some cpu-z loving at 3.6ghz ( for some reason i cant disable EIST :shakes: )
Can't for the life of me get it to boot at 4ghz though :mad:

Video card longer than mobo :shocked:
I hate these shorter-than-atx mobos... full ATX looks much beefier and powerful :D
The dust reminds me of my friends Pentium D... he's not much into computers but finally decided to buy a Big Typhoon after his pentium began to throttle down all the time :eek: so I took the fan off the stock cooler and there was a SOLID layer of dust... we took it off and hung on a string :D
