        E6700 running at stock, aftermarket cooler, ATI 4870 1GB on-board, 4GB ram (2.8 usable), win 7 32 GB. Tried three different ATI drivers including the beta set.

        I'm almost positive I was choked by the processor.

          You were chocked by your processor. This game seems very CPU heavy and the more cores the better.

                I've got a 2500k stable @ 4.4GHz. All I did was change the mp to 44x and set vcore to auto. 1.356v is what it takes mine... it's a bit more vcore than most guys need (I must have recieved a dud CPU ), but temps are below 65 with IBT or P95/OCCT runs.

                I did have C1E disabled but then reenabled it recently because half of my PC time is spent on the net so I like that it throttles back to 1600 MHz.

                  I just learned my computer showed up at my house in the last 20 minutes or so. Unfortunately for me, I've got a concert tonight, so I won't be able to do much, if anything, tonight. Maybe unbox it and check for dings, seatings, etc.

                  I caved and bought two Samsung 1tb Spinpoints last week, so they're going in as a RAID 1 backup array soon after the initial boots and testing, and I'm going to move my Windows user files to that array and just keep the OS itself and probably BF3 on the SSD.

                  May have some pictures for you folks over the weekend as I get everything in order.

                  P.S. What is your favorite temp program and CPU monitoring program, outside of CPU-Z?

                      HWmonitor.exe

                      And how long did it take for them to build it and ship it? It seemed like a while.

                        Well, there were two delay points, what felt endless to me. The first is that the order sat in their warehouse for about 6 days. They built it in one, and had a 72 hour burn-in period. So they did meet the "ready to ship in 5-10 days" window, but just.

                        The other was the shipping. I was able to get a config with free UPS ground. And I verified it was indeed GROUND the entire way, which is new to me (I've had Newegg orders UPS Ground and they've flown it part of the way). It took six days to shuttle the trailer over here. The origin scan was Baldwin Park, CA, and the next scan was Laurel, MD. So it took about 6 total days for the shipping.

                        I'm satisified though. It booted, and I have it a full weekend before BF3, which gives me the time I need to have everything transfered and set up. I was afraid I wouldn't get it until Monday or after release.

                          Yeah! Good to hear it. That's always been my biggest complaint about Cyberpower but I am always satisfied with the product so I just keep ordering from them anyway. Watching it traipse across the country on a UPS truck is pure torture though!

                            Can I prise the Cyberpower logo off my front chassis without damaging anything? It's just pretty dang obtrustive. It looks like it's simply glued on, so I think if I'm careful I can pry it off, and clean off what's left with alcohol.

                            Have you tried this?

                              Try using floss to cut through the tape on the back. Kinda like a car dealer .

                              Also just call them and ask how it was put on.
                              If they have forums it might be on there as well.

                                I've taken them off before but it was seriously glued on there just to warn you!

                                  I think there is like a magical time span when bikes become worth a fortune.
