Hey
Well today at around 2pm the courier van arrived and I pounced on the poor delivery guy like I was a dog on heat, inside his magic parcel was all my gorgeous bits, for those that dont know inside was
Gigabyte DQ6 Motherboard
Intel Core 2 Duo E6600
AC Freezer 7 Pro
2gb Corsair Dominator C4 DDR 800
BFG GeForce 8800 GTX 768mb
WD Raptor X 150gb
Arctic Silver 5
Black Sony DVD-RW
Anyway because im still awaiting my armour case I decided to chuck it into my current case and see how it goes, cleaned off the freezers stock compound, smoothed it all down and put a generous but not too large amount of AS5 on the HSF and fitted it all into the case.
Booted her up and installed WinXP Pro SP2, upgraded all the drivers and fired up 3DMark06 hit just over 10,000 marks, not bad I thought so had a go at overclocking and WOW, I had it easily reaching 3.6ghz but was too scared to let it carry on and benchmark.
Anyway I left it at 3.2ghz and run 3DMark06, got 10878 for a score and Im well chuffed with my new build, whats more during the putting together I didnt encounter any problems! a truely first for me as I normally forget something!!!!!
Quick screengrab!

One very happy guy
