Ha..got my 775 going, finally!  Don't know what I'm doing wrong on wprime 32m.  I get like 44 secs @ 4.1ghz with my Q6600!!!  should be more like 13.  No matter if I select 4 threads, 1 thread, 8 threads...still around 44 sec...If I posted it, I'd be almost last in the Q6600 standings!!!!  SuperPi works OK?? Hummmmm

Nate, we caught 411 overkill, now we need about 70 points to catch bleeding edge for #4 in the U.S.

Everyone on Team EVGA:  Bench everything you got!!!

I've been playing around with the bios all night....seems like I'm only good for superPi....no go on wprime.  At 4.3Hgz I now stand at 41 seconds!  HAHAHAHA.  Let me know if the team needs 0.1 and I'll be glad to post it...until then

Edit:  Time to put this frankenstein rig outside (Hope the Noreaster holds off a bit, LOL)

D1esel:  A Man after my own heart!

Nate:  I finally got XP to install on my 780ftw after a week of farting around with it.  Turns out it was the BIOS all along.  Be sure to clear the cmos, then before installing windows, go into bios and reset everything to failsafe defaults (or whate ever it's called..not sure you really have to do the fail safe thing, but it's what I did), then proceed to set it up like you want it.  Be sure to disable all those spread spectrum and C1E settings.  F10 and see what happens.
