I finally started assembling my new system today. The only thing missing (will be here Friday) is a 74gig raptor for my OS (I use a 120gig Seagate sata 7200.0 for games, etc). I have the Asus K8V Deluxe, 3400+, 2x512 Mushkin pc3200 level 1, 9800XT, Audigy 2 ZS, Plextor 708A dvd burner and to power it all, a PC Power and Cooling 510 trubo deluxe. I'm using the RBX for Amd64 with a MCP600 (rev 2), BIX rev 2 and a BayRes. I installed XP on the Seagate just to make sure all of the components were going to work (they did) and got idle temps in windows of 24 degrees. No load temps, I didn't put any programs on this temp install.
I must say I'm pretty impressed with the performance of the RBX. I used an RBX on my XP2500+ that I overclocked to 3200+ speeds and was never very happy with it. I just couldn't get the darn thing to seat properly on the cpu. It definately seats squarely on the 3400+, though! It was extremely easy to mount the block onto the Amd64 setup.
Can't wait until Friday night!
