Traveling by air out of Des Moines,Ia poses some problems in January – namely the deicing that needed to be done and took us 20 extra minutes to get off the ground…  I am posting this from Memphis Intl. airport waiting for out pilots to get here to fly us, of course they are delayed.  Today I will get in and meet up with skinnee from XS and various other sites around the web including his own site  skinneelabs.com .   So expect some great stuff this weekend from me and the site, and I can tell you that in a week I am headed to Taipei, Taiwan so expect some great updates from there as well!

A great picture I got in the plane during sunrise

!!!PRETEST!!! so much room for improving

Thanks to MSI, TiTON for helping with the pot and Charles, and Gomeler

12 Hours straight benching / 35bs of Dry Ice for $10 USD / OSs were crap – need to get better ones sert up / thsi is new Platinum SLI from Newegg open box because I killed my other one – 2 GB board inbound later today!

not pushing too hard and wasted a lot of time on OSs – this was a last resort that worked out well for unoptimized and generic load-out adn I suck at 32m super pi I know !!!!

Pretty Good For a Lower end Board eh? and please I know voltage is high – rough tuning no time for fine tuning – lol no time in 12 hours

Still!!! I had to use 1.51 CPU-Z instead of 1.52 damn thing sucks with this setup

Setup -
W3570 3847A987
MSI X58 Platinum SLI – New one
MSI N260GTX-OCv3
MSI GTX 275 Lightning
PNY 8800GTS 320MB
7900GS SLI (OEM)
Silverstone Zeus 1200W PSU
WD 80GB IDE HDDs
a lot of OSs
K|ngp|n F1EE w/ Acetone
Muskin Elpida BBSE
Lots of Scythe High CFM Fans

BTW – these were on a full SP3 XP Pro install not oiptimized at all

Due to unforeseen personal life problems, I have to scub the project and am now thinking when I do I may try with Elpida BBSE as they seem to be great still and much harder to kill  …  I  have been trying to sort out thing  personally so when I get more time to do a write up I will be benching MSI X-58 Platinum SLI and the  GTX260 OCV3 that I have for testing on hand, as well as a DFI teh8 that I was given and a recently acquired W3540!  I will hopefully be up and running full within a few days (i hope )

So today I finally made good on all my talk of finding a source for oem ELPIDA MNH-E HYPER DDR3 2GB modules… After calling all my contacts at various stores and distributors  I finally scored with a contact I made today.  I am able to get a large amount of 2GB modules for my binning project, which will start next week .  So my quest now will be to get at least 12 modules and bin the  hell out of them and see how well they will do.  I will be updating with my results as  think people will be interested hopefully in this project.   I hope to get out of this a set of 1075MHZ Cas 7 triple channel  at least – we will see…

Thanks for visiting my blog – please excuse the mess/ clutter or lack thereof as I am just getting to understand WordPress and learning the ropes… Please visit back often as it will get populated and have some interesting stuff!
