    Dont bother with the Toxic GFX card, the thermaltake water cooler on it is overpriced junk. Get a a normal XTX/XT and a zalman VF-900 you'll get the same OC/results.

    Is that Bad Axe 304? Or are you planning to do the 302 mods?

    BTW, that site saying it will work is something I wouldn't trust.

    They claim it is "Bad Axe" Rev. 304, and have in the three emails I"ve sent them said that they would replace it if Core Duo 2 comes out and is not compatible with the boards they are selling now.

    since your cpu is just a place holder, instead of a D 930 why not get a D805. It'll be way cheaper and it is an awesome overclocker.
