Haha, got it. I've had a few too many....birthdays.

...It's a never ending addiction.

No kidding! Even though I don't have the room or budget for another build, I'm still lusting after new hardware as it comes out. I checked out a Corsair Obsidian 650D during a Fry's run the other day (it's at the top of my short list for possible replacement cases), even though I don't have room for it right now, working out necessary modifications to the case. I'm also lusting for an Asus X79 Deluxe mobo. The only thing stopping me is it's hard to justify shelling out 350 shekels to replace an equally expensive board only seven months old and $580 for a CPU the same age and was almost as expensive (it would be nice to have a spare machine...oh, wait!...my notebook is the spare). I was scoping out new PSUs a couple of nights ago even though my current one is more than adequate plus I have an identical spare knocking about.

Oh yeah, it's an addiction, alright.

Thanks everyone, changed up the memory and it went from 7.8 to 7.9 go figure

Maybe if you but the blue on the outside and the black ram inside it will jump to 8.0 ?

I'm dreaming of a mini ITX build, giving up nothing but a small powerhouse!

It would still be the wrong channels Alan. MSI may be different but ASUS board always have the DIMM slots alternated. Personally I'd prefer them to be together though.

Uh...methinks that was a joke. Unless you photoshop the results, 7.9 is the highest you can go with Win 7.

Ya, I don`t understand why it went up a tenth, they`re all 8 gig sticks with the same specs

so it really should not matter, but I`m not complaining. Now I`m off to get some black zip ties

I suppose I could rip off the memory coolers and put them back in the pattern I want

But seriously, I`ll be getting a new set of GSkills and they`ll all be the same color, so no biggie.

Wow, I`m sitting here watching my Turbo Boost gadget go up and down and up and down, the cpu`s goin bonkers LOL with the MSI board it would settle down to 1600 MHz, but this thing is all over the place

WTH

OK, it`s the Thermaltake fan control software, I ended the process and the cpu`s staying at 1600 MHz now, :)

25c average
