Been doing some benchmarks on Everest 5.1 and usually top marks over i7965 extreme. At this OC temp still at 50deg but I think will wait fror better after market heatsink/cooler.

1 GHz isn't a slight OC :P
And I do hope it was fun ^__^

It`s lots of fun Quantum. It will go to 3.8GHz or better but probably with water cooling. Mobo stays around 39deg and CPU varies from 40-55 depending on OC.
good monitor program from Intel for voltage etc
cheers

;D Ordered new Scythe Mugen-2 CPU heatsink cooler today.Not bad for £28 +vat and good cooling qualities.http://tech-reviews.co.uk/reviews/scythe-mugen-2-cooler/ I realize that I have to remove Mobo to put backing plate on, but its getting easier.lol. I am not quite sure yet if the single ATI 4870 graphics is as good as the 2x8800gt cards in SLI, but will do a swap over after I get new heatsink.
Would sure like to hear from other members who are upgrading, no matter how small or large. We can all learn from each other without being too technical.

;D Got the new CPU heatsink cooler today, really big.lol. Need a new full tower case. Probably Coolermaster 1000 or Cosmos S. But pension day is just around the corner.
Did run present rig up to 3.93GHz for short period and great results on Everest benchmarks. The CPU does all the work for you, I have extra fans in this older case and highest temp during test was 66 deg. The cut off is 100 deg. Anyone got any ideas on PC cases??
cheers
Accidently run up a bit on stock cooler. CPU CPU Clock Motherboard CPU CPU Clock Motherboard Chipset Memory CL-RCD-RP-RAS Read Speed
Core i7 920 3933 MHz Intel Smackover DX58SO X58 Triple DDR3-1433 7-7-7-16 CR1 18681 MB/s which is 4,000MB better than other posts

;D Since we dont have many PC posts on components. I thought I would add another update to this thread. Rather than go for one of those monster full tower cases I have found a very spacious easy to use case. a mid tower, Coolermaster haf 922, many nice features,including a cut out on the mobo tray behind the processor to give room for changing back plates on heatsinks. Will have fun playing with with fan layouts.
http://www.hitechlegion.com/reviews/cases/867-coolermaster-haf-922-case There are many reviews on this case and are positive. Its also much cheaper than big brother haf 932 and I can pick one up from £80-100 locally.
Have a look at link and let me know.tks
cheers
