hey Q it needs moar LN2. then you dont need a pump

Just an fyi, if you are upping the pci-e clock to be able to up the qpi more, don't use an ssd. IIRC high pci/pci-e freq. screws with ssds.

Humm.  I never knew that.  I use a 118 pci-e all the time on my ocz ssd with out a hiccup for 4 months now.  I'll have to keep an eye out, so thanks for the tip
 
So John, install xp in IDE mode, then install ahci drivers, then reboot and change mode to ahci in BIOS?

Yea, that's the bad thing about LN2...once you just start figuring things out, you run out of the stuff,lol!  I have an extra mag 7 pump in my inventory, so I just have to drop that in.  My other pump was 1070gph, and the mag7 is 700gph.  I wonder what difference I'll see..hummm.

Ohhhh yeaaa.  Dice/LN2 ALWAYS runs out just when you figure things out.  Even 50L will go.  I can't understand it for the life of me. 
 
btw, found some extra foam for ya.  Getting some lathe parts in this week.  Progress & pics to follow when they arrive.

Got a Biostar TPower i45 on the way, and for a nice deal too. Should be able to really tear up some of the dual cores i have now.
 
For reference:

725 FSB Obviously i'm not going for that, but this board is pretty much the best ddr2 socket 775 board (Asus Commando is usually better for older chips though). And probably the best clocking board behind the REX.

arnt the P45 chipsets DDR3?

Most p45s are ddr2. The x48's are mostly ddr3.

Okay guys... Newegg has a %10 off code for all motherboards right now.... Should I get a Rampage 3 Extreme Open box for $287 - %10 = $258.30
 
or a Classified 3 and use my EVGA bucks on it to make it... $379.99 - 68 - 20(MIR) = $299.99
 
What to do what to do.. I'm leaning toward the R3E to be honest but if the Classy 3 will clock as well I'll get it.
 
Edit: last option, I like this best. Classy 3 from newegg: $369 - $20 MIR - %10... = $313 and save my 68 EVGA bucks for a 580 or something.

I would wait and to see how the new 1155 boards come out, too late in the game for x58's at this point. If the 1155 socket doesn't go well you could get a x58 cheaper down the road...
 
Out with 480's and in with the 580's 30k vantage on air, marks are already on bot!

Currently I'm not planning on moving to 1155, I'll end up staying with 1366 for a long while. It just has to last long until summer after this coming one. If the 970 ever comes down to around $600ish I'll probably pick up one, and that'll be my last motherboard/CPU/RAM change for a long long time.
