Couldn't find a 6600 or 6700, so...

Why did you buy the highest clocking motherboard and the cpu with the highest multiplier??? I would have gotten a 975X board, which without any doubt is far better at EVERYTHING then the 965 chipset. or better i would wait for the nforce 590, so I could have the best chipset ever made + SLI (no matter how much they try nobody makes better chipsets then nvidia).

ROFL, nobody makes better chipsets than nVidia?

I believe Intel has them beat solid.

Nice.

If I had an X6800 I'd definitely go with nForce 590. I've been quite satisfied with the performance of nForce4 for the past year. Plus two X16 PEGs, fast interconnect, async memory (no more strap BS), etc. It's a shame it doesn't clock as high as 965/975.

Oh btw congrats on the awesomeness OC'ing. 3.6GHz @stock Vcore!! As someone said it's a sin not to run that thing @4.0Ghz.

Depends on the voltage. If he needs 1.55+ to get 4GHz+ then I'd stick with 3.6.
