Since my rigs have all cratered (Intel QX9650's mainboard has gotten too old and is corrupting itself, AMD Athlon 630's Asus board couldn't handle the punishment), I've purchased some new parts to hopefully return some power to my Seti name.

The new hotness:

Gigabyte Z68-UD7 mainboard
Intel 2600K
2x2GB Crucial Ballistix 2133 ram
OCZ Vertex3 240GB
eVGA GTX580 Hydrocopper 2 (already had this)


Gotta keep my #10 spot and hopefully start making some headway on the people above me. If I get a wild hair (probably) I may upgrade to a second GTX580.

I hopefully will have the rig up and running tonight. Just waiting on the CPU to arrive in the mail.

"Hopefully will have the rig up and running tonight"

Hope in one hand and spit in the other, see which hand gets full faster.....

Don't hope. Start planning, then enact your plan!

If the CPU arrives, it will be running tonight.

Sweetness! That should OC well and should be a monster cruncher!

The rig is now running, but is really short on seti units. Running stock for now to test stability. I'll OC it when I get home from the field again.
