that's a neat picture

Yeah I'm also finding...editing HUGE ass images is a whole different ball game...at least with Paint Shop Pro 7.04 lol

/e shrinking down a 5184 x 3456 image, has similar problems like if you wanted to magnify an image a LOT lol

no
should totally overclock
it would be a shame to waste such a cpu/mobo/gpu combo with a bottleneck

That's NOT helping to STOP me lol

can you just imagine "unlocking" that CPU's full potential?
All that e-peen?
And just imagine, what if that cpu is just sitting in your computer, and its one of the good ones
and you're not doing a thing with. Its just sitting there, bored half to death, as its potential is just so much more!

Be a shame to have an unlocked CPU and not even go for a mild OC.

I'll OC it eventually...but this new BIOS is not like the old BIOS's...so I'm going to wait till more ppl have OC'd this CPU ^^

Anyways, here is best picture I could get with new camera of insides of case...AND what you guys think of my first "outside pics" up above ?

It's pretty straight forward. I have the same Mobo and CPU as you, but kind of lost the silicon lottery. Hitting the voltage wall before the thermal wall, can't get past 4.8 GHz without pumping more voltage than I'm comfortable with. Not for Prime stable anyways.
