see if you can ask them to push your oc a bit more, I think it should be able to do it.

DST4ME, I contacted DS and they said the 3.367 was tested to be the most stable. It still matches the I7 extreme cpu. I'm sure It will be a quantum leap in performance from my 3ghz Pentium 4, even for games that only use one core.
Soduis, I will need to modify my computer table to get is to fit since the tower alcove that my current pc is in is too small for the HAF 932. Plus I want it out in the open for max airflow.
The PC has shipped. Fed Ex tracking says its almost 70 lbs!
The next challenge will be to transfer files from the old pc, and to learn Windows 7.

Well, It arrived. What a Beast! I'll try to get pictures once its set up. Massive box. very well packed. Looks like it rode on airbags the whole way. Need to let it aclimate before openning the case and reseating and checking stuff. The side fan looks like it could cool a house. Hope it runs as good as it looks

Pics will be forth coming. It is up and operational. With the huge fans there is a constant hum but not terrible compared to the whine of my old system. I have some issues to work out. like how to plug in the joystick and speakers. Both are old with old jacks. I loaded Sins of a Solar Empire just to see a game running.  It Screamed! the new game load time on the old pc was 45 sec to 1 min. This thing? 10 sec at most. The zoom and pan around the game screen was fast and smooth as glass. I did open the case and reseat the ram but the vid cards looked solid. Its so neet and tidy inside . Satisfied so far.
Its been so long since I setup a new pc I'm rusty. Took an hour to figure out how to get my printer to talk to the pc.
