Solarstarshines,
That is a fantastic upgrade. The cooler is fitting in the case like hand to glove and the eight cores are responding well to the clock. The more I read about actual users feedback on these 8 core chips the more I want one my self. Oh well I'm having enough fun with the new build for my girlfriend and getting my website launched recently. But I'm happy for you and just a bit curious to learn how you like it over the no slouch Phenom quad.
Just rid myself of the Advent Powered Partner Speakers not all together bad but next to my Infinity Modulus Ver.1.0 run with it's servo controlled sub woofer and powered by 200 a channel Rotel separates via an optical out to my Cambridge Dacmagic DA converter. Well let me just say I'm in hog heaven again and it couldn't have come to soon. A seriously poor whole house ground prevented me as the amps would have none of the poorly earthed ground before. I wish I could provide some sense of what amazing sounds these little gems are capable of !

Just built my girlfriend a system. Started with an older RMA's MSI mobo but it turns out it has the wrong bios version and won't recognize my cpu unlike my original mobo (long story) so it's being RMA'd back to MSI (their the best). In the mean time I scored a ASRock mobo for dirt and it's booting as I post. This is a ten fold improvement over what she had before.

It really was a killer card till BFG went belly up, oh well so much for a lifetime warranty.
Super Nice looking sound sytem Linnemeyerhere!! And well done on the build for your gf.
Today I recieved my water cooling items! Unfortunatly the fittings,fans and fan controller won't arive till the end of the month. But I took them out and got a few pics, will upload more when I can finally set it all up.
