    no, there aren't that many to choose from yet for the 1156 boards. I'm waiting for more reviews. People have OC'd the 750 to over 3.6 on the retail fan. I don't plan on OCing though. I'm waiting to see how well my case with a 14cm top fan, 12cm front and 12cm rear fan keep things cool.

    http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=13178376 NEW!

    http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=7545833 OLD!

    everything stock. As soon as I get an aftermark cooler, I'm going to just set the BCLK to 160 to run my mem at DDR3 1600 and cpu higher. Everything I've read said you can do this no problem, safely, and no more power draw then what it is at at 133mhz.

    Anyway, more than doubled my score from my old system..which is good.

    I bumped the clock to 160 so it would run my ram at DDR3 1600 like the board said it would and left Turbo and everything enabled. so cpu runs between 3.2-3.6 depending on how many cores are going.

    I re-ran 3dmark and got:

    21242 which is quite a bit more than just stock. My CPU hit 71C though at peak, so time to invest in an aftermarket cooler for any OCing.

    Did the XFX card come with Dirt 2? I more or less ordered the same system just a few minutes ago. Pretty excited about it, but the case may end up taking 2 weeks to get here. Regardless it'll be just in time for Bad Company 2

    and a whole lot of lovin..

    Excellent. I actually had the card delivered last week Thrusday, but I haven't opened it yet. Waiting for everything to get here before I open everything, which is tomorrow. I feel like I'm 12 again.

    Got me a Coolermaster Hyper 212plus cpu cooler. It dropped my cpu temps a lot. In BC2 I was hitting 60C now I barely get over 40C.
