Steam!

Through a US proxy to pay US price, to avoid the likely AU price ripoff!

Bah in correction of the above - on second thoughts i'd say the x4 slot is the one third from the top thus allowing 3x Dual Slotters @ 8x 8x 8x

Nah you've interpreted the notes incorrectly - if the third PCI-E slot is used it takes 8x from the first;

= Trifire @ 8x 8x 8x

(Though this is only possible with a single slot GPU in PCI-E's 2 and 3 (Watercooling/Crappy Cards lol?))

The last slot is x4 so Quadfire would be presumably 8x 8x 8x 4x (with atleast 3 single slots cards obviously)

Crossfire is 16x 16x

v1 is older - looks slightly uglier (EDIT: MUCH UGLIER LOL) (different backlights / shape / screen) and doesn't have USB2 ports.

I'd be surprised if anyone still sells v1?

Edit: just checked pricespy NZ and yeah the v2 is definately worth the premium over v1.

Otherwise really depends whether the G15 v2 Screen is worth 20$ to you (vs the x6 Sidewinder which is nice), useful for displaying temperatures if you overclock or CPU/GPU/RAM usage levels etc

Be mindful also that any voltages you haven't altered (presumably everything other than VCore / RAM Voltage) are set to 'normal' not auto

Just mentioning this as it's something I missed when I was beginning.

Congrats otherwise and enjoy :D

Cool if it's 3Hours+ Prime95 stable you should be good

Keep temps under 60oC Prime 95 Small FFTs and keep voltage under 1.5v and crack that 4.0Ghz barrier

Edit: Note also that Phenom II chips suck power like crazy with voltage increases so be mindful if you're already close to your PSUs limits (1.3v is stock voltage I believe for that chip)

The Phenom chips run on pretty high voltages, you can definitely push higher if you temps are safe

For instance my x4 965 @ 4.0ghz takes 1.475 which is perfectly safe (best to stay below 1.5) and stays below 50oC Prime95

lol - to bring the topic back onto track since i've spun it on a tangent what we need;

- Power Supply Unit Details (either model number or photo of spec sticker on side)

- Case Details (either model number or photo with side panel off or clearance measurements)

- Motherboard model wouldn't hurt either

DDR2 / Socket 775....

anyway we digress :)
