I have bought myself for Christmas a new rig:

Q9550
Asus Rampage Extreme
Two Palit 1GB 4870s (Going to crossfire them)
2GB DDR3 1333MHz Ram
24" 1900x1200 Monitor
700W Cool Master Power Supply
Two 250GB Hard disks for RAID'ing (Use two as one - not mirror)

Im curious about the Overclocking facilities open to me? And also about crossfire - is it as simple as: 1.plug in 2.enable 3.work?

Thanks

Q9550's OC pretty well, but I would definitely grab an aftermarket heatsink for it, they're also touchy about FSB VTT and whatnot so I'd learn a bit before jumping into it. As for crossfire, plug in, enable via CCC=fun.

I have a thermal mini tycoon sitting there - but its too tall for my tower pc, too much movement and it falls :s Maybe a freezer one would do :D

Im glad I dont need a cable then :D
