actually it's a lian-li PCG70 full server tower. Have it on it's side from when i swapped the Deneb back in and i plan to rig up some fans over the NB/SB heatsinks to see if that helps stability.

Yes gaming performance seems to be quite impressive, the CPU is actually fast enough to feed data to the GPU now. As for the benchmark, it's the in game GTA IV benchmark, which aside from being surprisingly detailed seems like a good consistent performance comparison.

Also note that the phenom II aside from being 400mhz slower then agena also had the draw/detail distance more than doubled when attaining double the frame rates. So i'm very impressed with real world performance so far, and am preparing to run crysis/warhead, farcry 2, Call of duty 4/5, Mass effect, Fallout 3, 3Dmark06/Vantage and Pcmark vantage starting with stock speeds. Any other gaming bench requests let me know, i probably have it. So look forward to seeing realworld numbers which i'll post ASAP.
