Default Slow Chemicals Redux

Okay, it's official. Me and intel, we're over. I shipped off my maximus formula, and i'm just waiting to sell the QX6700.

Now, for the AMD goodness. I'm getting in a Phenom 9950BE + DFI 790FXB-M2RSH on the morrow. I've got a MCP655 in hand (for dual loop), an MCW60 coming wednesday, and another 4870 coming in the next coupla days.

This is gonna be fun .

Loved the original log can't wait to see "redux". Out of curiosity, why the jump from the Intel boat?

Nothing was wrong with it. *see below*

Well, a few reasons actually.

First: boredom, the QX was great and all, but it was a pretty straightfoward overclock.
Second: Better platform - I think that the whole board is just overall better than anything intel can offer.
Third: Uniqueness - Something about a 9950 BE + tri-fire 4870's seems cool .
Fourth: Deneb. Probably the biggest reason. It'll be nice to be able to just socket a new AM3 deneb when they roll out.

Today I'm a sad panda .

The DFI has brokeded on me. The top PCIe slot no longer works. Totally sucks too. I had got this little phenom to 3 Ghz at 1.264 V on the stock cooler .

Oh well, hopefully sometime next week NCIX will have processed my RMA .

Of course, it just had to happen the day fallout 3 is released
