Fair point. And I suppose I could always step up if needed.

Mhm and I could have a way easier time buying it.. Although.... I'll still probably go with the 762, simply to have the extra slots/features. And because I wouldn't have to pay for it.

Ok, i finally found the info i needed. Motherboard mounting holes are exactly .156" in diameter, or 5/32". That means any screw smaller than that in diameter should fit fine. I can now order 6-32 screws and standoffs confidently b/c their diameter is .138". Woohoo!

Nice! I'll have to try to remember that.

Ah... Well just pick up one of these for benching. This is single card btw. 



Andd.... The results:

And hence the reason for futuremark links...pretty cool Halo!

Strike what i said about 3dmark06 & the 980x....it pretty much owns...

To give you an idea, I saw 7fps on cpu test #2...crazy.

most def...it owns all the cpu test all the way around hands down.
u ntill you get to those single core test that rely on more mhz than cores.

Dam can't get a 980x here in Australia... (for the rite price)...until early April i want one now!!!!!!!

Even then its beating the 975's. With the 32nm fab, its just better in every which way over Bloomfield. There getting well under 7s SuperPi times with it, which for a 6 core, is amazing.

I'm really surprised that it overclocks better than Bloomfield. I figured having to OC 6 cores would hurt, but I guess not. I guess the next test comes when the release 6 cores with locked multi's.

beating a 975...yes..
beating an e8600 at super pi..nope (not 32m)
3dmark01....nope.

at least not yet anyways.

chip works extremely well with ati...hope this fairs for fermi as well.


side note:
just for you nate ole buddy
phase is almost done. just need to gas and tune it.

the before shots







the after the repair of broke flex line with new flexline made by ron mccall over at under the ice.
repair done by terri at talent air AC more insulation and then the re-gas.







my board prep work...it's a work in progress sort of thing...lol
i have another layer covering the whole cpu bracket...just waiting on my ss to get finished.
