Ok so I got the new one even though I really didn't want to buy it.. I know I know sign of a weak mind
So here we go!
Day 1 Hardware:
Intel E8600 [Q820AXXX]
Gigabyte EP45T-Extreme
Gigabyte 9600GT [Turboforce - fanless | NO VMODS]
OCZ Plat 1600EB
7200.9 160GB
Silverstone DA-1000
Benq 19" LCD
Cooling:
LN2 with Astra on CPU and Tek-9 4.0 on GPU.
OS was a little bit stripped WinXP.
Some results I would like to share:

CPU-Z Validation
Observation:
First the board, I think the board I have is not really friendly. I mean with E8400 it couldn't boot more then 555FSB. With E8600 I have got it going in windows @ 580. Anything high it will crash while loading.
Now the Graphic card, honestly I think if I don't run LN2 on GFX and just use chilled-liquid cooling.. I can manage same. The card is cold-bugged at -60C, hence I could not push it high enough to take the top spots:p Also I did not use the GamerHUD utility and still card worked fine till 870 for 3D01 and 860 for others. Strange thing for me was 3DM03... I mean I thought I could go higher but during GT2 @ one point before ending it would slow down drastically and that will give lower scoreI think 48K was possible. May be some other day and driver will make the cut.
Many thanks to Gigabyte and Silverstone for support

. The CPU seem to have a little more headroom, just need time i guess, but that you might have already known.




Congrat. Black Ops really do great result. Looking forward on the DFI.
