check me out now...i moved up to 11th place 5970...i was on a world recored run when i ran out of dice...crashed at the last few seconds...grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Get used to that.  it ALWAYS happens.  By the time you get the hang of things, you run out of dice.

hey are the AMD processors good for anything on the bot im looking at buying an ati set up but i cant seem to find anything that they are good at :S

Yea, they're good for nothing...

Anyone else like the new Infiniti M56?  Geezzz, it's advertised on most of the sites I've visted over the last few days.

GPU might be a problem, but the RAM was a big concern of mine. 

Finished all my insulation.Eraser and neoprene(and i will add paper towels when i am about to bench). I will put pics up later. Also, my little bench table seems like it will work really well. I have one dillemma though. The mounting screws for the cpu pot are about 1" too short, so i will have to make a trip to the hardware store to get some longer ones. Oh yeah; and DFI is retarded and put a mobo mounting hole under the heatpipe from the nb to sb and i can't get a screw in it. Fail. lol

you really don't need to worry about mobo mounting screws that much when you are horizontal like that.

@ Nate: It's not the mobo mounting screws that are too short. Those are fine. It is the mounting screws for the pot that are too short.

@Joey: Well with this chip (pd 915) i won't be coming anywhere near 550fsb. It is 200x14 stock. At 336fsb, it is already at 4700 which is around max for air without just dumping volts into it. I figure if i'm really lucky, i will get 400fsb, and 5600mhz overall.

So Menards didn't have any screws of the type i need long enough. They said to try ACE, so i guess that'll be my next stop...

ACE didn't have the correct screws either. At least they told me that they are M4 though. I guess tomorrow i will pick up some threaded rods from the McMaster Carr warehouse before getting the DICE.

@Jon: Nice. Is the cpu on phase or DICE? 4900mhz vantage is impressive.

Yea. The DICE place closes at 4pm CST, so its not happening today. It's lame that it closes so early. I figured out what i am gonna get from McMaster though. 1 M4 1m long threaded rod, and a pack of nylon insert M4 locknuts. I figure i can just cut the long rod into 4 separate pieces, and i know they will all be more than long enough. The locknuts will be used as the bottom end of the rods, under the backplate.

20lbs of DICE incoming this weekend

@Jon: Yea, i probably could get DICE somewhere else, but i guarantee it is more espensive. At this place, it is $1/lb (tax included) for rice pellets, or around $.50/lb for the scrap stuff cut off of blocks. I figure if the scraps are too big, i can smash them with a hammer or something. So 25lbs (what i plan to get) would only be like $12-15.

i been going through that stuff like water...

going to grab another 10 pounds now.

Sounds like someone is addicted  ;) 
I know the feeling.

4.9GHz vantage run is no joke.  Imagine if you had dual 295's?  You might have broke the 47K boundary.  I am STILL trying to break that 47K vantage... and when I do... I am throwing a party!

Looking good John.
