:ROTF::ROTF: :up: That's how we do it here in MI. :cool:Quote:

Thanks for the paint offer. I will not be disassembling anytime soon though so, maybe for the next build!!! :clap:
Anyway, I'm glad it turned out so nice, Miller! The res and your WB are my favorite parts. :up: :up: :up:
Thanks much. I'm very happy with it. Its been running stable and doing everything I need it to do.Quote:

Nice paint work there Miller.
Are those PCI covers solid?
Yep, just used spray paint and painted the stock ones. :up:Quote:

I'm getting a little annoyed with the lag though and I don't like 6v6. I would have preferred more players.
I love the game, but IMHO, IW net is holding it back. :shakes:
Loved the build log though, read through it multiple times.
Thanks much. I'm glad you have enjoyed it. :up:Quote:

Thinking of getting a Lynnfield i7. I was waiting for the Bloomfields to go to 32nm before I dropped the trusty ol C2D, but it looks like that won't happen. It also looks like Lynnfield won't be going to 32nm either (just the dual-core versions with on-package graphics). Since lynnfield performs better than low end bloomfields Im going to go with that.
I always wanted to cool the MOSFETs in my next watercooled rig, but I hear that the MOSFETs on these P55 boards don't even get warm? If that's the case putting them in a loop would make them hotter.
What are you thoughts and experiences with this?
Also, on your board there is an extra 4-pin molex plug for extra power. I noticed you aren't using it. When do you need to plug in extra power?
I have been wondering that too. Unfortunately EVGA doesn't include any info on that Molex plug. They include a bunch of newbie instructions and warning stickers, but no info for things like that Molex plug. I can only guess it is for running SLI and Physx setups.
The Mosfets do get a little warm. I'm showing 40 idle and I think I have seen them get over 50 when under load. The P55 chips stays nice and cool though. I'm showing 27 at idle right now and I don't recall it going above 40 at load. I see no reason to put it under water. The Mosfets might not be a bad idea, but they still aren't bad.
Yeah, Southbridges don't get hot. Surprised the SB didn't absorbed onto the processor die yet. One thing at a time, I guess.
Well, the NB did on the P55 boards. I think they figured it would be too much taking away both the south and NB. :shrug:Quote:

I just hate that to buy any of the new 32nm Nehalem based parts you'll have to either shell out $1500+ (Gulftown) or have graphics on package, even if you don't want em. What a waste. :(
Hey miller, take a look here! http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=239692
They say the T3 may crack... Just be aware man!
Peace
Yep, I know about that. Thanks bud. :)Quote:

Very nice millertime359! Love that motherboard. Looks damn sweet!:up: They say once you go black you never go back. :rofl:
Thanks bud. Sorry, didn't notice the comment earlier. :rolleyes:Quote:

Looks good Miller. Awesome mod job!!
Thanks man, first major mod to a computer case. I'm pretty happy with my results. The next one should be better as I am starting to get the hang of the sleeving.Quote:

Did another quick OCCT run. This time I had rthdribl running in full screen also. It was a 20 min test.

Good to see today's date on your testing, MT :up:
You used your time machine to go forward a day or two on your last testing session. :p:
