;D Another little update on the i7 processor and DX58SO mobo.
When trying to install the very large Mugen 2 heatsink to the back plate I found I was short on one screw to fasten. So instead I used the Nexus Low 7000 heatsink to the same plate. This is a low profile unit, only 7cm high with lots of copper + fan (brilliant). OC to 3.675 MHz says Everest 3.83MHz says Intel. Temps at idle, Mobo 33 deg C CPU 36 deg C. The big fans in the Coolermaster HAF 932 case with a 140 exhaust fan do a great job. Under load the temps are mobo 35deg and CPU 48-50 deg. Run Prime 95 for 4 hrs and passed on all tests.
Ran test on 3D Mark Vantage and results.
12,538 marks
GPU 10,130
CPU 43,728 (yes)This is using my 2x8800GT cards in SLI. 600/900 OC to 646/ 926. instead of the single ATI 4870 512Mb Running very stable, and I`m wondering what 2x 4870 cards will do?
PS still looking for a screw for Mugens, >:D
cheers

;D you will not believe how hard it is to get the screw that I need. Tried a few electrical and PC stores with no luck. Might have to e-mail Mugen for some help. Do you think there might be age discrimation involved???
Still running at 3.65GHz and all temps under 51 deg. If I can find the extra missing screw ,will be able to try out the better Mugen 2 heatsink and bring temps down.
cheers
