IFX-14 heatsink
ThermalTake Armor case with the 250mm side fan mounted outside the case
Intel Q6600 G0 stepping
4GB (2x2) Patriot Extreme [EMAIL="DDR2-800@960"]DDR2-800@960[/EMAIL]

Currently have it running 9x400 for 3.6Ghz with 1.4 volts set in the BIOS. It is stable running 2 instances of Orthos with affinity set for 16 hours. Stopped it after that. It also passes OCCT and prime95 torture testing.

I was having crashing issues in Crysis with my 2 HD2900XT 1GB video cards. Eventually determined that the default clock of 825/1075 is too high for Crysis. 802/1025 runs Crysis without any crashing. GPU temps are 79C full load. Not sure if the 8.1 hotfix drivers fix that or not. Crysis would crash at 72C at the default clocks of 825/1075. No other games crash because of this. Hellgate London, UT3, Witcher, Oblivion, WoW, NWN2, all happy campers.

    Oooooh, nice! I salivate just thinking of the FX-14 heatsink. That heatsink turns the King Ultra 120 Extreme into merely a prince.

    Oh, that's all very nice. Given that you're running 2 X Orthos at 3.6GHz, I'd say your PSU is good quality too.

    Looking forward to watching you march up the the Team 93 Folding charts. WELCOME to the Team. I hope you'll be running two WinSMP clients with Affinity Changer balancing the load between the four CPU cores.
