    Here is my E8400 Q743A from NCIXUS

    mobo: DFI Blood Iron
    memory: Crucial Ballistix DDR2-667 2x1GB
    gpu: eVga 8800GT 512MB
    cooling: water
    psu: Corsair HX620
    hd: WD250

    vid: 0.8750

    This is somewhat of an adventure. I had the latest BIOS from DFI but it would not allow me to disable EIST and the other CPU protection options. I would set vcore, multi, and FSB in bios but only the FSB would hold. When I launched CPUz it would tell me 6x multi and 456FSB. So I flashed to a beta bios found on T-Mod's DFI CD (give that guy a cigar). Now I can run the E8400 without any issues other than the temp discrepency.

    My WC system needs a kick in the ass and my memory timings need some work but I will address those next.

    Anyhow, here are 2 quick SS. This SMOKES the E6750 it replaced.
