Looks good to me mate

Good choice on the LT by the way, it's a great board that one.

Accelero S1 Rev a? I believe only the Rev 2 is compatible with 3xxx and 4xxx series from ATI.

Ah, good spot tks. It was the Rev2 i ordered, thankfully thats the only version Scan sell. I appreciate your eagle eyed attention to detail

Nice build looming! We want pics

[Kelainefes]

I'm happy that you're gonna get the right model.
The build looks solid, no second class components, so with a little luck you should have a pleasantly quick setup.
Looking forward to seeing the Xeon overclocked.

Pics will be up when the kit arrives, i will try to detail as much as i can of what i am doing including disaster reports.

The Xeons are a funny one, as you would expect it will all come down to the batch number. If one arrives that i know to be sucky it will go back unopened and ill grab an E8400 from my local Mplex shop. I have seen folks getting 4G+ on 1.21V but others seem to need way over the safe 24/7 volts for anything close to 4G. There is a handy wolfdale O/C spreadsheet on XS showing the highs and lows of what can be expected. It will be luck of the draw no doubt.

Just need some IPA and to clear up my work room somewhat, i expect parts to arrive tomorrow if im lucky.
