   I am close to buying, just a few loose ends left.

I am trying to decide on what color or color combo will look the best in a 950Si case with stage 3 dual loop cooling.

     At the moment I have selected the green UV liquid with UV light, Blue all trim accents: Chassis Vents, Grills, screws, Hose Clamps and blue LED performance fans.
      My second config is Green UV liquid with UV light, green LED performance fans.

All ideas welcome....

Thanks in advanced, Greg

	Just a heads up, there are a pletora of recurring issues running a i7 920 @ 20x200bclk on a classified board. I'd stick with the original choice of the i7 960.

	If there is a problem DS will catch it and correct it, there is no reason to spend extra money for a 960. if there is a problem and they can't fix it then they offer the upgrade themselves to him.

	It's a problem with the board itself, just check the evga forums. DS can't fix it, and really they shouldn't have to offer someone a free upgrade when it isn't their fault to begin with. I agree the 960 is a waste of money though, but I also think that stage 2 OC is a waste too.

	for video editing the stage 2 oc is good but for gaming its a problem, DS has classifieds with 920 at 4.0, Alex said they have not been having problems with it yet, it was discussed in another thread. I know its a problem with the board, as I mentioned above we have already talked about it, when I said fix it, I meant that they will find a way to work around it or call the customer up and offer them another solution, be it another mobo or another cpu.

	There is no issues with a Classified board and 200x20 that I have seen. And if there was, 191x21 will work as well, or 211x19. Stage 2 is greatly overpriced, but you have to consider it is covered under warranty, and some users like me want the highest clock possible. Edited by venom - 08 Nov 2009 at 6:19pm

	Only thing I know is that some BIOS' have had issues with the 20 multi, and I don't know why anyone would use it in the first place.
