Nice chip CN, I love the v required for that speed. Very nice 3DM06 score. Just got my Gskill 17600CL7D kit in about an hour ago for this board which will be here tomorrow and then its Microcenter this weekend and I am set. Looks like the 2600K here in the states will be about 280.00 U.S. according the email I just got from them which is actually cheap. I am getting a little bored with my Xeon 3570 anyway
