Ok guys... Im about to vMod my evga 8800gtx, w/ Accelero cooler. It OCs decent on stock volts, but with the cooling, I wanna push it to beat my old personal 3dmark06 record on s939 w/ an 8800. Ill be using my ES for stable 3ghz CPU like old times, and I wanna use a different board, if ES will even boot on it. My old A8N-E is the only board out of 8 or so 939 mobos Ive tested, that will boot the ES. Also got 4x 1GB Corsair platinums to play with, one set CL2 one set CL3.
BUT, I found this...
DFI Infinity Ultra Rev. B s939
I know nothing about this board other then that. I cant test the board w/o a huge hassle of un-installing current 939 setup, and just dont have time for it. And last time I did was half azz and it didnt boot, but it tried. BIOS was corrupting graphically on screen, it was weird. Im thinking a new CMOS battery, new BIOS chip with updated flash, and new chipset cooler would help.
Does anyone in the club wanna test my DFI Infinity? My chipset cooler wont mount right, and I dont have a spare. I will acquire battery and BIOS before shipping if there is a trustworthy old friend here who wants to bench her for me. I have no spare CPU, but mebbe a 2 x 512MB kit.
Im trying to break 12.5k in 3dmark06, old record was 12.2. Real goal is 13k or 14k on 939,

EDIT: BTW, sata location is HORRIBLE for big GPUs... thinking to run an IDE if it works and i do go through hassle of switching out setups.
