Opteron 165 CCBWE 0551VPMW
Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe (damnit this fourth Asus better be the charm, since the first three Asus mobos i've owned have sucked hard)
FSP Group FX700-GLN 700W (quad 12V rail - 15A each )
There's also an Accelero X2 GPU cooler awaiting an X1900XT that ATi appears to want to never ship , & a new 400 GB SATA HDD to add to the fold, a WD SE16.


I'll update with more details, & OCing screenies when i get time to rebuild my system

Hmm, appears i got teh short stick for OCing once again.

Right now running S&M's CPU stresstest @ 9x289 (2601 MHz) @ 1.375V (reported vcore in Windows = 1.41V).
I expect it to fail anytime now, since SP2004 fails immediately.

1M dual Super PI does pass; haven't had time to do longer runs.

Runs alot hotter than my X2 3800+ did. About 6-7C hotter idle & load actually.
I hope it drops a bit when the Arctic Silver settles.

As a side note, i managed to kill my 700W FSP PSU right off the bat (USB front connectors shorted out/weren't grounded when i tried to use a USB drive :|), so i'm still using my OCZ Modstream 520W.
