Thanks guys

I need some time on air prior to go to SS or Ln2. Getting use to this Asus and the X48 platform first, I never used one before.

The E8600 is good Linux but needs extreme cooling to shine I think. It loves volts so probably it will get 5.6 to 6Ghz if feed properly we will see.

Honda my chiller is the -8oC we have outside I just push my bench station out and let the weather do it's part. The temps on the cards with 1.40vgpu is around 10oC on idle.

I do have waterblocks and 2 x 4870's but one is on the bench station with the block and this one is here on air. I'll soon put the REX on the bench station for some real numbers.

This weekend the plans are to bench the Q9550 and get some points, then PCMark05 with both Q9650 and Q9550 and after that I will start the REX.
