Finally completed my build. It serves as my primary desktop and dedicated PVR backend. (in Linux!) This is the second WC loop I've done, and the first time I've completely internalized it. Took some dremel work and rivet removal to get it all in, but I think it was worth it . It did SuperPi1M in 10.1 seconds, but I heard the linux version it ran on is better optimized so take it with a grain of salt (I'll be using the figure to compare my overclock settings). It's running at 400x9 = 3.6 ghz at the moment, I haven't done a real overclock yet. I'll post results of my overclock soon, but I'm aiming for 4.5.
EDIT: If anyone has found cool settings on this board for overclocking, or has any cabling suggestions, let me know .
