Okay so here's my setup, reason for selling is I don't have time to play on it as I'm away at work for 3/4 of the month and I have an ASUS W90 laptop which handles all my gaming needs regardless. It is 24/7 Prime95 stable @3.8ghz. I will have pics when I get home. Cable management is immaculate and I will not accept lowballers. Transporter_BMW can vouch for this setup as he did most of the work setting up the hardware. Awesome machine, no time to play.

There is alot of room left in this machine for OC but I was using it for reliable 24/7gaming. Scores above 29000 in vantage now (26000+ for GPU, 43000+ CPU Scores). CPU remains under 40'C at full load with the Boreas Cooling Setup...its incredible. All games run full res everything...crysis full aa. No tests on record right now but I can tell you it can handle everything you throw at it.

Built 10/09/08
Coolit Systems Boreas MTEC Chassis
EVGA nforce 790i Ultra Sli
Intel Quad Core [email protected]
8GB Corsair XMS3-1600 DHX PC3-12800 TWIN3X SLI-Ready Dual Channel DDR3
3x EVGA geforce 280GTX FTW Edition
2x 150gb Raptor's in RAID 0
Thermaltake Toughpower 1200w Sli Ready
Samsung DVD-RW

Looking for $3400 but shoot me an offer. Case alone is worth over 850 and Coolit is based in Calgary and they're great to work with, drop it off and they'll change the cooling setup with ease if you ever want to change the setup for a new mobo/cpu cooling setup.

Only 3.4Ghz.... Is it using a stock cooler?

Maybe you should read the whole thing first.

That build would be good for around 4.5ghz for an experienced overclocker...getting it stable would be a problem. Any avid overclocker knows what a feat it is to accomplish a 100% Prime95 torture test stable machine running 8gigs of ram. Stability is a problem with that much ram. And that boreas case/cooler combo is unbeatable in cooling performance...it defineatly isn't the weak link in the overclocking department, voltages would be too high for the hardware to handle before the temps would get unmanageable.

Vista Ultimate 64bit Included in Price BTW

And its actually 3.8ghz Prime95 stable setup now...I copied an old sig that was in another forum so thats why it said 3.4ghz. Its been about 2months since I've played with it lol. Memory set at 1600mhz.

Oh and those vantage scores are probably from 4-5months ago...from what I hear the newer drivers jump up the score alot as well so take those as a minimum as the newer ones optimize the triple sli setup.

Also found the last 3dmark vantage test I did a while back:
P29848, GPU 26913, CPU 44361

you wouldn't need room to OC. You don't even know what you're talking about. Secondly, on a C0 (which most likely it is) I can get 4.1Ghz Stable on Air..
