Can I ask how come you didn't put in the Core 2 Extreme Q9650 Yorkfield processor? Cause the fan is so friggin big?

[MarkSleper]

What makes you think i didn't? Please see the video info section...

[Boromir028]

It was cause I wasn't clear which 9650 you were using. It's cool though man, sweet setup!

[MarkSleper]

Thanks! And yes, the fan is BIG! :-)

I am not sure if you have done so since the time of this video being posted but an overclock on your CPU as well as a driver update would help improve your benchmark scores. I say this because I am running a Q6600 at 3.6Ghz (Freezone Elite) & Tri-Sli 260GTX Core 216 SC cards (702 /1404 /1152 /stock cooling @ 75%) with the 180.48 drives & I am getting the same Vantage scores as this. I am however thinkign of upgrading to the Q9650 to overclock it at or above 4Ghz.
