latest amd project. update... edit. switched video card to 6950. whoot!

last of the parts came today so i made a list of parts and pricing. 1/2 of this was bough in jan because of some sales and to build a different machine.
Like i said parts are already here and some came in jan so parts advise would be a bit late. thanks.

First thing i will do. Some of the guys really helped me out picking out a good board. :>
Also I will try to post my impressions as soon as i can. Might be a few days as i havent been feeling good. But happy none the less. Building for me is easy but i like to take my time. I dont expect it to look as clean as some of the builds as these guys are very good.

I returned my 560 and ordered a 6950 today.. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150549
199.99 after rebate and promo code. code listed in todays newegg quick draw deal. Whoot!!
Its my luck after i ordere an item a day or two later the best deal comes up. happened with my power supply, cpu, video card,
I stuck to my guns on the other stuff as they were superior products or only a few bucks difference. but the video card is a major update. :>

After carefully reading the sabertooth manual.. yes i actually read it. It seems i may know why my mushkin redline memory 2130 isnt on the qvl list.
2 things
1. i knew it was too fast
2. per amd specification you can ruin your processor going over 1.65 volts on the memory. They advise going lower. My memory spec. is 1.65v
I may start looking back at the qvl. or whatever the list is called.

thanks bud. last night and this morning i spent trying to send a message to mchkin and am awaiting a responce. I tried to get on asus support but 3 times the server was busy.
Then this am i saw some redline sticks running at slower speeds on newegg with 1.5 volts. Ill try the timings for that memory and post a result when the 6950 shows up.
thanks again.
