Were the 'before' mem temps with the fan blowing on the backplate? I'd expect those rear memory modules to be hot regardless of the cooler.

The only thing that causes me trouble on my board is the vregs. The heatsink EVGA used is positioned poorly and is not as big as it should have been. I use a big Phanteks cooler and it doesn't leave much room for a fan solution. I haven't found any easy alternative solutions. It's the fins right...

I switched everything to auto and switched to the XMP profile. No crashes yet!

Yes I got my extra 6GB of ram in. I started to have some crashes (again) that I'm currently trying to deduce. Memtest passes after 8 hours with no errors. Crashes seem to happen when using Chrome and youtube, for whatever reason. I'll randomly hard crash to black screen but the fans stay...

What CPU are you using in this benchmark? Just confirming if its the X5670 in your sig.

I have a feeling mine is the older version.... 132-BL-E758-A1

I just found another 6GB of matching ram for $35, so that'll put me at 12GB for the price of a steak meal. Is there any concern for single threaded performance from a Xeon processor? I've read mixed things. I've got an EVGA X58 SLI motherboard. Which Xeon chip would you recommend?

I've been holding onto this fantastically performing i7 920 for a while. I've got it OC'd to 3.8 with hardly a budge on the voltage, so I'm sure I can hit 4.0 or more (on air). I've got it paired with a 280x, Corsair 1KW HXi, and 6GB Corsair Dominator. I'm able to run most everything at 120FPS...
