Thread Starter 
To be honest, with all the things that have crossed my mind with what to do with this, the most prominent has to be OCing the bejeezus out of it. I have some GPU water blocks coming in - I could setup a GPU-only loop smile.gif
It has a super low ASIC rating, so maybe I'll be able to get some high numbers out of it thumb.gif

PS
Sorry its taken so long to reply. I work 12 hours a day and had been real busy the last few, with a sore back and all.
