The benching sessions have begun with this kit of G.Skill PC3-12800 memory and the results with an E8400 on an Asus P5K3-Dlx are definitely worth posting. This was just an abbreviated session with the CPU cooled by a Chilly1 single stage phase change unit. Here are a couple photos from the session and a complete break down of the hardware used:

- Processor: Intel C2D E8400
- Processor Cooling: Chilly1 single stage phase change

We start off with some Super Pi v1.5 1M and 32M as always:

The focus was then switched to some 3D benches where I zeroed in on the system intensive 3DMark 01 and Aquamark 3. This was primarily because the GPU was still with stock cooling and hadn't been volt modded yet so 03/05/06 were pretty useless...tweaking 01 with s pretty high clocked CPU is always fun though

overall it was a pretty productive night. i found the limits of this E8400 on my phase unit and racked up a few more HWBot points in the process. this won't be the last i show of this card with this RAM...only next time the card will be a whole lot colder
