Hiya folks,

Just wanted to say hello and been reading the forums for a bit and all the info has been a great help.

I just built this new system and is going good so far.

I wanted to post my settings and get some feedback on tweaking this build.

I will be running some benchmarks soon and will post em.

My setup -

Intel Xeon E3110 - Batch Q813A651
ASUS P5Q Deluxe - BIOS 0704
CORSAIR CMPSU-520HX 520W Power Supply
(2) OCZ XTC Platinum OCZ2P10002G 2GB DDR2-1000 PC8000
Sunbeam Core Contact Freezer CPU Cooler
COOLER MASTER Stacker 830 Evolution
(2) WD Raptor-X in RAID0
(2) WD Caviar SE16 WD6400AAKS
EVGA 8800GT SSC 512

I turned this off to allow MS Windows MemTest to run properly.
I was getting some real random unpredictable errors with MemTest86+.
It runs clean on all other memory testers.

So far all seems stable @ 4Ghz and RealTemp reads 36-38 idle and 60-62 Load on Prime95.

Looking forward to some great feedback.
