very nice mod....only thing is that mobo is a huge POS for a quad....
But the quality and craftsmanship is fantastic on the mod, I really like it
I would change that mobo asap though...you will have far more headroom to OC that quad.

Before I grabbed the Srtiker I had a IP35-pro (actually if you look at the pics of the mother board tray you'll notice it's not the Striker) that could push my quad to the 4.0 range, however in my whole build process I thought that I blew up my 8800gtx and while awaiting RMA I picked up another 8800gtx. So then it was a question of "Do I want an extra 200mhz or possibly 400mhz, or sacrifice it for another 8800gtx"? The answer to me was simple, 2 8800gtx's as I'm running my quad prime stable at 3.6. I know my chip has more room but I'm pretty happy with 3.6 and two 8800gtx's. Hopefully soon a new chipset will come out that supports SLI and can OC a quad with more ease, until then, I'm pretty happy.
