Well, we bonded so close that I ordered the same board, with some Gskill Triple-channel ram from DC...



Only missing a chip!

Also from A-Power?

Also, which RAM?

I'm looking for some RAM as well.

Nope, DC for both.

Gskill DDR3-1333: G.SKILL F3-10666CL9T-3GBNQ 3GB DDR3 3X1GB DDR3-1333 CL 9-9-9-24 Triple Channel Memory Kit - DirectCanada
GA-X58-Extreme: G1 - DirectCanada

Still looking for a 920, and a good HSF for the 1366...

Hmm...now we'll see who gets their board first!

I'm hoping EK hurries up with their 1366 mounting bracket so I can get mine on water right away.

I'll stick to Air with this one. Know where I could find a 1366 HSF?

3.0: Frozencpu has a few (you need to buy the mounting kit for $10): Thermalright "Limited Edition" TRUE Black Ultra-120 eXtreme CPU Heatsink - (Socket LGA 775 / LGA 1366* / AM2 / Xeon*) - FrozenCPU.com

I have ordered from these guys before but they are in the US though. Took a quick look at a few sites in the GTA and no go on the HSF or a 920

Thanks Chris - Frozencpu was on my hit list.

edit: damn, the kit is also unavailable.

I'm still waiting on some backordered Bitspower fittings from NCIX, so hopefully I get them soon so I can get this beast on water when it gets here!

I'm going crazy and it's only my second day with no rig

Now I have to actually pay attention to my wife!
