Well the X800 is back from Persivore and running like a top! Cheers mate! :toast:
Already on the Gpu freezer and idling around -40 core temp, should do some damage :hehe:
Only the Mobo and adapter to come back now, and I'm ready to race :)
I'm really looking forward to this :woot:

Well bummer :mad: my OCZ arrived wednesday but the new motherboard wasn't here when I got home from work today, guess I'm stuck running the AA8XE. The P5WD2 will be here Monday but I don't want to start this with a board I'm not familiar with. I'm still trying to decide on what cpu to use.... initially I was going to run my 571 3.8es but got a 660 3.6es last week that is a killer and the 2mb cache walks on the 3.8 in '01 and Aquamark.
Well contest starts this Monday but you will have till the following sunday to submit your scores so you have more than enough time to figure out your board...I'm just sent in my venice today should be CA at AMD by monday sent it priorty just hope they will send me a new one fast and get replacement in my hands by friday :(
Good point.... I can bench every night so I should be ok.... just hope I don't pick the wrong board :eek:Quote:

Thanks,

you have to have 1 configuration for the whole set of tests afaik
You can use any os you like and even change it for different benchesQuote:
