Richard, so you now, on my P6T Deluxe V1 the speed step and turbo mode settings don't appear when AI Tuner is set to manual. When it is set to the turbo mode option, thats when they appear underneath.

Thanks for the info Wingo. Thought I was losing ot when I could not see the settings.

no probs there, I know that feeling well. How is it all going now?

I am quite happy with it. Have it running at 4G and have not had a problem with it.

I have not loaded anything (games) on yet but might give FarCry2 a shot tonite.

Am a little reluctant to drag all of my Sim Controllers down here as the computer sits in the dining room, but have done some video coding on 5 and 6 G files and it is a lot quicker at it than my AMD.

The AMD is tweaked enough that it runs FSX quite well and it is in the game room so.........

Something about the wife not wanting a 500W 7.1 sound system roaring when she is watching TV.

Had to invite the neighbor over and let him fly so he would quit complaining though.

The only problem I really had was with the video cards. I wanted to put the 4870s in the new box and leave the 295 in the Sim but the lower slot would not allow the 4870 to fit correctly. The plastic cooler hit the board so I had to put the 295 in here.

Have ordered the water plates for the 4870s and will swap when they get here.

It is a lovely set up. You will love the i7, mine has been a joy to run once I got it into shape. I manage mine on 4.2ghz, 200bclck, 21x mult, 1603mhz RAM with tightened timings on 1.46vcore in the BIOS which actually idles at 1.44 and under load goes to 1.39. Some people here have tried to run it a 4.2 but can't keep it stable, I think i'm just lucky and won the chip raffle when I got my 940. I doubt you'll be able to reach that on your 920 though.

I am doing a computer science course at uni at the moment, and when I tell people about my system most of them question why anyone needs that power. I don't think anyone can understand until they sit behind the controls of one of these beasts and feel the difference of having a computer that is faster for everything you do.
