Looks solid, did you already order it? The only thing is I would take another heatsink over the Zalman as they tend to be overpriced and lacking compared to newer ones. Go with Megahalems or something.

Currently folding both cards at 738 core, 1728 shader, 999 mem. Will see if I can get 12 hours stable, then start playing around with the CPU.
Haven't had much luck finding a way to adjust the voltage on these cards besides the iTracker software, which is an unstable resource hog capable of tuning only the top card.  Updated my list of software. If anyone has suggestions for tweaking/monitoring programs, I'd be interested in using a couple of more tools as needed.

Cards are now 13 hours in at 738/1728/999, good enough for me.
Time to start working on CPU! Did some brief stress testing with Prime95 to establish baseline temps under load, showing about 36°C idle / 50°C load in CoreTemp 0.99.5.27 -- the temps SpeedFan 4.39 is showing are ~16°C at idle & 36°C at load... I wish!
