Hmmm... this may be the solution from another thread! http://www.rekenwonder.com/linkmagic.htm

So I did my 3 year PC upgrade. My new system consists of: Mountain Mods H20 case with Corsair 850W PSU ASUS Rampge III Extreme X58 motherboard Intel i7 560 OC'ed to 4.26 Ghz/core with a Watrercooling setup XFX Radeon 5970 Black Edition 6G Corsair Dominator RAM OCZ Vertex 2 120GB SSD 2...

Is there any program that can read al.l your BIOS settings from Windows so you can save the settings for them all (for BIOS upgrades, etc)?

I may well do that up the road, but it sucks I will have to opay full price for a slightly diff version of the same OS.

dbl post sorry

I built a new rig around theis mobo in Oct and finally have it stable at 3.3Ghz/core. Details: Intel Q6600 Quad Core OC'ed to 3.3 Ghz/core Thermaltake V1 HS with Arctic Silver 5 ASUS Maximus Formula SE mobo OCZ Reaper DDR2-1150 memory (4x1GB) running stable at 1200 XFX 8800 GTX Seagate...

Everything I read says 64 bit Vista isn't quite ready for prime time. So I went with the 32 bit... Would I have to buy a whole new copy of Vista 64-bit if I did want to go to that? This box is for gaming... older games as well as the latest and greatest.

I finished this build, and now have reached my final stable OC as well. I ended up with: Intel Q6600 Quad Core OC'ed to 3.3 Ghz/core Thermaltake V1 HS with Arctic Silver 5 ASUS Maximus Formula SE mobo OCZ Reaper DDR2-1150 memory (4x1GB) running stable at 1200 XFX 8800 GTX Seagate...

Thanks for this guide... I had not done any OC'ing since the original AMD Athlons, so I was out of date on knowledge. using this I have gotten my Q6600 on an ASUS Maximus Formula SE with a Thermaltake V1 and OCZ Reaper DDR2-1150 at 3.26Ghz on all cores stable, and my temps are still pretty...

I got my H2G0 today - I like the size and all - but it's definitely different - mounting your 5 1/4" devices is a major PITA!

What manufacturer makes some 32MB cache drivs? 7200 RPm NCQ in a RAID 0 might be almost as fast as Raptors.

I am looking at building a new Gaming Rig with the following components: Intel Q6600 CPU Quad Core WD Raptor 150 GB HD (x2) Mountain Mods Twice7 case Asus P5K3 Deluxe/WiFi-AP Motherboard Mitsumi 7 in 1 Media Drive Corsair DDR3 2GB TWIN3X2048-1333C9 MS Vista Home Premium OEM ed XFX...

http://www.tomshardware.com/2006/11/29/geforce_8800_needs_the_fastest_cpu/page10.html This basically says that w/o bleedingtedge CPU, you just won't get your $ worth out of a 8800. Thanks for the input guys, I decided to wait... I had no plans to get Vista anytime soon... Everything I read...

No its not :( My Zalman fine would handle it, but my memory doesn't seem to - every time I push it hardly at all (using MSI's built in OC functions) it begins having problems, even though the CPU stays around 100 deg Fahreneit even under load... I have assumed its the memory but haven't taken...
