1 down & 9 to go, took about 7 Hr's but I was dealing with a BIOS that was completely strange to me & a Corsair cooler that I had to pull the Motherboard 3 times to get installed right & a Fresh install of Win 7 but no SP1 yet. The next one should go a lot faster as I now know how the Corsair cooler is installed properly & I won't fiddle around for an hour or so trying to get the Hardware CD for the Motherboard to show up.

The Box would Boot up to the point of going into Win 7 but the a flash of BSOD would show up & it would reboot it's self again. No matter what I did the CD for the Hardware wouldn't come up either, some other garbage would but never the CD. After playing around for an hour or so I just threw the Win 7 CD in and did a re-install of the OS. I've never seen an improvements in time by installing SP! so for now I'll just run it the way it is.

Definitely way faster than the Q6600 that was in it when running POEM, just running at the Stock CPU Speed 3.5GHZ for now to let it break in a little but the times have dropped from around 43-44 Min's to about 25-26 Min's running just 4 with HT turned off. Not quite twice as fast but once I jack it up to about 4.2GHZ it should be twice as fast then. Doesn't seem to like running 8 in HT Mode though, very slow, seemed to run 4 just as fast in HT Mode as when not in HT Mode but when trying 8 it slowed way down. But it only has a single 570 in it, the only other Box I run in HT Mode is my i920, run 8 POEM Wu's in that but it has 2 7970's in it so can't really compare them.

The Corsair cooler H80 works good, about 50c under BOINC Load so that's okay by me, now all I need is a CD with all the SP1 Updates on it so I don't have to spend 4 Hr's downloading over the wireless network out to the garage ...
