Pardon my newbness and a bit of off topicness. Can you please point me in the direction of how you are overclocking the 6950s past 840? Or are you using a 6970 bios?

I got P9316 with a 2600k @ 4.5 and 2 6950s with shaders unlocked and core clocks at 840 memory at 1300. http://3dmark.com/3dm11/418676

This link worked. Also, putting the extra apps from the version i downloaded into the folder from your link worked to install them as well.

I have tried downloading it to several different disks and installing it with no luck. I think I might go ahead and do a fresh re-install of windows.

Flashed both my asus 6950s to the asus unlocked shader 6950 bios. Only running shaders unlocked and core clock at 840 for right now. Things seem to be ok so far. Couple hours worth of gaming in.

Is anyone having problems installing the asus ai suite software on windows 7 64 bit? Every time I run any of the setup files for any of the asus utilities the install crashes with the program not responding window. I have tried it both from the CD and the download from their site. Same results.

I just got my confirmation email for my in store pickup, lol. I called them to cancel it.

I think I snagged the last 2600k from the OP KS store but as the poster above noted...they had some 2500k in stock.

This could be a huge mess. I don't know if they couldn't get more quantity or didn't think they would sell this many, but I think there are going to be some frustrated folks tomorrow. I hope I'm not one.

I put in a reserve for local pickup in overland park, ks. Now the k processors are showing out of stock. I hope I got mine reserved in time.

I just did a search for crossfire bridge and picked the longest that they had (10cm) from someone that had expedited shipping as an option. I paid right away and still haven't heard anything from them about it, so who knows exactly how expedited it will be. Why don't the cards come with both, MEH.

I went ahead and ordered a pair of 100mm crossfire bridges from ebay since I already have 6950s waiting on this build. Hopefully that is all I need. I think I'm leaning towards the p8p67 deluxe and it has two ports between the pci express slots.

Did the asus mobos come with extended crossfire connectors since there are two ports between the pci express ports???

I thought I read that socket 1155 from a cooling mount standpoint would be no different than 1156. Is this true? If so, what heatsink/fan combos do you guys plan on going with? I've been out of the game of building pcs for a bit, so I haven't kept up with this stuff.
