That is awesome man!!  Grats!
Those TX cards are pretty beastly, I know they are really costly, but they do work VERY well.  Also for non benching, you got VRAM for days!
 
You will get the 5960x sorted out the way you want it.

Thanks Dave, Right now they are running very well at a reasonable 1528 MHz under 4-Way SLI Benching Loads and I am now into bumping up the Memory voltage/speed higher.  
 
They do a GREAT Job of keeping the GPU/Memory/VRM's at their Lowest Temps with Chilled Water Cooling (Love those EVGA FC Water Blocks!).
I've noticed Even the 6GB of Memory Chips that are on the Back side of the Card stay Cold including the entire Backplate itself.
 
Been taking it S-L-O-W-L-Y with the New 5960X Vcore settings to see how low of a voltage it will take to hold the same OC as my Old CPU.

Yeah I think these newer blocks we use are really good.
 
So far what was your voltage/clock on your old chip and what are you at now with the new one?

Do any of you guys know where to buy a DICE/LN2 pot?
I've been wanting to set up my Evga X58 4-Way for experimenting with DICE but I can't seem to find any pots for reasonable prices (sub $150).
 




Honestly, I looked for months trying to find an LN2 Pot for DICE Cooling on my RVE/5960X, But Couldn't find anything used below $200+, So I just went ahead and bought a New Kingpin Dragon F1 Dark Extreme from Vince for $239 which I found could get the Temps down to -99.4C using DICE and Acetone on my Benching Rig.
 
I have found that the Quality and Temperature Control Capabilities of this product to be absolutely the Best there is (And I'm Not trying to sound like a salesman, LOL).

I was limited to 4.875GHz at 1.55 - 1.56 Vcore (any higher voltage crashed the System) on my Old 5960X and for a brief period of time I have used the same settings on my New CPU which surprisingly resulted in Higher Scores, But after that short run of Benchmarks I have decided to keep Lowering the Vcore as I mentioned before on my New one to see how much less voltage it will take to maintain the same OC as the Old one first and THEN maybe try a higher OC at that reduced Vcore.

Those kingpin pot's sure look nice but I don't think I'll need anything that extreme for now.
 
I did just find a person on OCN who is making simple pots for about $125 + shipping, maybe I'll try and get one of those.

Got 168 more points in Fire Strike Ultra, But still need 64 more to get to #3!
Oh Well, Time to try a few more BIOS adjustments on the 5960X.

LOL, If You Do, Make SURE they are under COLD Water Cooling,
