QX 9650: The legend rolls on

Rig type	Gaming Rig
Description	March 2008 system still going. My CPU has logged exactly 19,859 hours of operation as of today (March 30, 2013) with no degradation. Look for the first photo on the left which is a screenie from Star Wars:The Old Republic (SWTOR) where I get 60.1 FPS @ULTRA (all settings at max including anti-aliasing) with my GPU at factory overclock and my CPU OC'd @3.92 GHz. I have had to cap my FPS through EVGA PRECISION software b/c my FPS would rocket over 100 FPS (I actually got up to 111 FPS exactly at SWTOR).
