Well I just wanted to pop in here and say hello, since I flagged the EVGA Enthusiasts team over on hwbot.org.  Figured I should stop posting all the time over on the p55/200 series boards and bring the posts over here.

I run an air cooling system that sounds something like a mixture between a washer machine and one of those old middle school window air conditioning units...needless to say it's loud and I personally enjoy white noise so it doesn't bother me at all.  Inside I have 9x 3k RPM Ultra Kaze's, 2 of which are part of my own custom designed cooling tunnel that I scrapped together with parts from Home Depot.  Also there are a couple of other fans (ATCS 840 stock case fans etc) which brings my grand total fan count to 13.  (Extreme...air cooling?!)  I'm able to push core temperature idle on stock 5 degrees under ambient temperature with my current air configuration last time I checked.  I don't ever run stock anymore but I can clock down and check where I'm at currently if any ones curious.

This is my first self-made computer and I'm pretty damn proud of it, I've been pushing it for the last 3 months on and off, gradually raising my scores to the point where I felt it was about time I found out how they stacked up.  Had a bit of a shock when I realized my physx-on scores (P28572) wasn't considered legitimate, so this weekend I've been pushing as hard as possible with Physx off.

Current scores listed here:

3DVantage:

Kind of at a loss right now on where to go next though, I'm debating between making the jump to the X58 platform or continuing my push on P55 since I am so comfortable with the current CPU.  I've almost bought the p55 classified board 3 times now, but I'm not sure just how much improvement (beyond 3-way SLI) I'll get from it overclocking-wise.  If you guys have any input I'd really appreciate it, as jumping to X58 is going to mark a sizable investment that I'm not to eager about.

Anyways, hope everyone had a great Holiday season and I look forward to working with the team on benchmarks from here on out.

I was just looking at some of the i7 stability threads, and most people have over 54 Gflops.  I have 45.
