I hope you be talking about Clarke! ...lol I'm still messing around with efforts to cool electronics :wink: I moved on from Desktop PC cooling and more inte... |

| The tips above are good to remember. Watercooling is a system which transfers heat to the air. Engineering of a watercooling system is determined by the heat which you intend to generate. The rate of heat transfer is a function of waterblock, flow rate, cooling fluid, radiator design, radiator surfa... |

I don't knock hardware or those who choose different configurations than my own. I am actually looking at the 6 port Radeon for running six monitors. There is no such thing as too large of a desktop. |

| The last ATI cards I owned were aquired by Rob and came directly from ATI in a plain cardboard box. On the Nvidia side, EVGA is the clear winner with both product and software tweaking tools. XFX comes in a close second due to awesome over clocking potential because they bin chips and have numerous ... |

| Yes I know it's not a dual socket Xeon-only board, but most of us live in the land of limited monetary resources. Judging by the items in your signature, you're not one of them right now. :roll: The Gigabyte board is going to be a solid performer and has been LN2 tested over at: http://www.xtremesy... |

| Ski - are you exploring the SR2 avenue possibly? All of the AMD CPU's I ran were excellent performers, and while the A64s were king, they too commanded top dollar. I was talking to Rob yesterday about the SR2 solution. Both of my previous dual socket gaming boards were king of the day...that being ... |

lol...an anti intel thing again, I thought so... yawn. Show me that Xeons don't make crapload more profit than equiv speed i7's.

| Wow. One would only spend that amount of money on such a machine for running benchmarks. You're kidding right? Then why tout QUAD-SLI and X-FIRE on their webpage? Obviously to increase market potential, but as you know, just because it is capable of quad sli/XFire does not mean this is the only pur... |

| It is the ability to overclock these dual 1366s that is the selling feature, not the quad sli/Xfire. I am unaware of any other dual dual 1366 WS or server boards that can overclock by so much as a single MHz, every manual I've seen has this ability disabled, and never mind supporting a hexa-core cpu... |

For this possible build, Mobo from EVGA direct is $599.00 Xeon X5650 @ $1127 CDN each I have everything else that is needed except for an additional 1366 waterblock to make it run just fine, for a total pre tax of $2853.00.
