Whoa, nice one

I somehow failed to miss that your stuff had arrived in the other thread, I rely on email subsriciptions and the system on Neoseeker doesn't work as well as I'd like it to

Seeing all those boxes piled up there is like

As for the overclocking, there are other forums (mention no names *cough*5th rank in F@H*cough*) which have a bunch of people on who are rich/don't own anything besides a computer who will know that board inside out, and should be able to help you tons with overclocking.

You've got a D0 stepping i7, you should be able to hit 4.0 although you might be limited with temps.

I'm thinking of upgrading my build myself, but I most likely won't be able to afford to go 1366 even second hand, so it'll either be 1156 or 1155.

And here we are, nearly 2 years later. Still working fine. Might post some pics of what 2 years of dust collection looks like.

Made any changes to it? Or is it still performing strong?

Nope. I realise now I need to get a new PC in the future, as the GTX 460 isn't the best any more. *wants 3x670*

^this. the third card scales badly, so you be better off with two more powerful cards, than three slightly less powerful ones.

unless they are all running as standalone.

the 590 was basically two 570s. probably the same thing with the 6xx versions, but i couldnt be bothered looking it up right now.

those are designed for workstation purposes, so they arent as optimised for gaming as mainstream video cards.

even if they do perform better in games, the jump in price would most certainly not be worth it.

SSDs arent THAT great. okay sure, they have fast boot times and loading times, but thats all they are good for. even then, after two or three years, the performance starts to degrade significantly.

im guessing you overclock, yes?
