Well... I do have a Corsair TX750 PSU lying around, that might power it with one 4870 x2 on the board.

Hmmm.... This might just be fun. I just put it together real quick and installed XP x86 just to test things out and make sure all the hardware is ok...still gotta test out the other 4870 x2 but everything else is fine!

I went ahead and installed 3DMark 01 for shits and giggles and with no OC and one 4870 x2 I already bested my score vs my QX9770 @ 4050ghz with 3 GTX280s!! That score was 57848 compaired to 54343!

WOW.... The bios is totally different than what i'm used too, not sure what to do in there. I mean I see some things that are familiar but when you go to change something it has all these different settings but nowhere I saw what setting it's on before changing it...so not sure what to set anything to LOL.

Break out the Scientific Notepad and start logging default settings. Also, read that darn manual for proper cmos reset procedures in case it gets borked.

Well, I took her to 3.7ghz last night just messing with the multi. Didn't have time to mess with any other settings but I'm thinking its gonna be hard to get it past that on air going by what I experienced and what the reviews I've read say, but we'll see.

I hope to have some time tonight to play with it and mess with some more of the settings...might need some help with that lol. Real temp doesn't support the CPU and Core temp only sees it as a single CPU so don't really have a good temp to go by.... Core temp is saying 38-41c at stock settings so I really need to find a better cooler for sure.

See y'all after work!

I like using Everest Ultimate, it provides alot of detailed system info including temps, gpu/cpu/mobo etc. There's some free versions floating around and a demo version. Personally, I pay for it and like it as I move it from machine to machine and use it on all machines.

Do us a favor and run some baseline benchmarks at the clocks you've got so far. thx
