    Congratulations, I wish I could even afford one of those pieces of hardware . Did it realy require its own thread though?

    What is the Alpha Cool thing? That bag of plastic things looks like the stock heatsink pins, is it?

    You are 100% right - need this to make my WC work on socket 775.

    @AndrewZorn:
    Yes this is a bit annoying - maybe next month we will see "SLI READY" - thermal compound...........

    who is the one willing to call corsair and ask the advantages of SLI-Ready RAM?

    really
    give em a call be like, "im interested in your SLI-Ready memory. however, my friend says SLi memory is no different than regular memory! tell me why he is wrong!"

    Did't forget You guys but I cracked a plasic pin from my WC bracket so I lost a lot of time......

    Will post some screenies later - looking good so far. Without attemping much I get 16.xxx SP 1M.

    The CPU is still at stock Vcore and I set it to 3GHz and RAM at DDR2-1000 5-5-5-15 with 3.2 volts (3.1 in BIOS).

    This board gives a nice boost to the RAM - overvolting 0.1 volts - so maybe I'll get 2.5 when setting the max. of 2.4. Will try later.

    CPU temp at 28°C IDLE..........

    I agree on that and I think it's just a marketing trick to fool those who don't know much about computers.
