Main reason is that I cannot really wait till mid next week and get everything set back up. I am currently going through a major remodeling of all mt rigs due to the hardware I have to work with atm. You can see from all my stats that my production is down. I got my new 920 rig up last night but still have some things to do. lost train of thought; I am going on vaca to San Diego this coming weekend, so I wanted to get the X3440 back up.

Good news is it was only the mobo; So I will get it rma'd and resell when it arrives back.
I have the X3440 on the ud4@4GHZ@1.3xV. I am currently in the process of switching to a new HDD. This rig will be back up sometime today. I think I need to reseat the megahalem as my idle tems are a little higher than the last time.

Even though this rig now costs as much as a 920 setup; I still wanted to see for myself how it compares to the 920 in all respects.
I will let you know how it goes.

One of my 920 rigs is down. I have a Bloodrage and had to use the 775 heatsing mount; for some reason my idle temps are in the 60's. I have reseated 3 times with no luck. I am not sure what is going on. may have to run stock clocks till I can get another true or megahalem.

I think this covers it for atm. I will keep yopu posted with any updates.
How are you doing now INFRNL? Good to see you have the 3440 @ 4gig. Screenies please, if you get a chance? As I said before, I'm real interested in the performance of the X3440 chips. That COULD be the equivalent of the Q6600 G0, for crunchers with Kentsfield farms. Cheap, Fast, and Good.....Wow, you rarely get all three....

Looks like you are having some mount problems? If you haven't read it yet, the ICD7 thread here is very good at refining mount technique. I learned A LOT during the test there. The "pea blob" is your friend, no matter what paste you use.

Can we help out with brackets? I may have some various 1366 brackets here, possibly some stuff that could be used for 1156. Let us know what cooler you are trying to match to what. I'm unclear on what mount problems you're having. I'm sure we could get you covered.

Regards,
Bob
