Working with my q9300 and Gigabyte EP45-UD3P right now, though i have to go to bed. I am shooting for some WR's with it. Right now if i submitted what i have, i would be #17 cpuz, #5 pifast, #11 super pi 1m, and #8 wprime32m, for a whopping total of 9 points. This is all air right now though. And i still need to do sp32 and wp1024. If i can't break any WR's on air, i'm definitely gonna put this combo under DICE. They seem to work well together. If i got all WR's for cpuz, pf, sp1m, and wp32m, it would be 32.6 points. I guess i'll see what happens.

keep pushing xxrabid...go for it!

@john, I'm with awalleye on the vtt.  With my 920 I needed +250, with the 960 I needed +450, with the 980 +150.  I think it depends on the chip.  What are you vantage stable at? (that's all the matters)

get her done rabid!!!!

and thanks for the advice on the memory shock it is on its way now.

now all I am waiting for is a cpu and I am really hoping that the 970 would just get released already or soon after my blockman special arrives or I may have to break down and get another cheap 920

 What is the best 1156 CPU for over clocking?

Lol looking at that asus huh, not really sure what the best is but I got one of the dual cores up to 4.7 or so on air. There all pretty oc friendly, just start with one of the i3s that are like 100 bucks those things fly if you cool em right


@jon great scores bet your glad you decided not to wait for the 970s

So far I like my i5 655k it's up to 5Ghz 1.48 Vcore atm under watercooling, only bad thing is it has 2 cores 4 threads. With LN2 people are ocing to 6.6ghz

Good review here 655k-875k

  Yes think I got that board, he offered me a fantastic deal.

LOL I bought a lot from that thread....

Where's a good place to download 3D03 free version, mines got the sounds tests enable.

 I think with the free version that is what you will have to deal with.
