    ASUS P8Z77-V vs Pro: Worth it for OCing?

    I'm trying to build a similar rig here, and curious as well...is the PRO that much better than the non "pro"? I'm also only looking to moderately OC my CPU with the same Corsair H60. If I can save money on the mobo, I'd like to get a lot of good RAM. I currently only have 4gb is on an aging...

    Custom Gaming PC, i5 3570K @ 4.6GHZ, 16GB DDR3 1866MHZ, SSD

    Wow, this is pretty much what I'm trying to build soon...I just don't need the GPU, Sound Card, or PSU. I wish I could knock the price down on this build, with the subtraction of those components. ;/

    Need OC help/advice on x3350 with 8gb G.Skill Ripjaws

    Hello folks, I stupidly posted this on another folder...but posting here in the correct folder now. I've run into some kind of a pickle. I haven't OC'd in so long that I just didn't pay attention to how delicate the OC was on my system when I plugged in new ram (8GB G.Skill Ripjaws 1333...

    OC Help with X3350 chip with 8gb G.Skill Ripjaws

    Hello folks. I've run into some kind of a pickle. I haven't OC'd in so long that I just didn't pay attention to how delicate the OC was on my system when I plugged in new ram (8GB G.Skill Ripjaws 1333 9-9-9-24). I have the following: x3350 (x8 multi) = 2.67ghz evga 790i Ultra SLi...

    i7 3930K LGA2011 vs i7 2700K LGA1155 vs waiting for Ivey Bridge?

    I don't want to hi-jack Defiant's post, but I'm also curious about this. I'm running an X3350 (same as defiant's processor), and considering an upgrade. I'm looking at getting a z68 board and popping in an i5-2500k. Is this a bad idea for future flexibility? I thought my LGA775 would last...

    GTX590 has a date...

    C'mon, is this all really necessary? You offered your opinion and review about what was relevant. Nuff said. Let's just move on. I'm personally looking for a replacement for my 9800GX2 Sli setup, since it runs like a nuclear reactor on meltdown and causes stuttering whenever I'm in SLi...

    Should I be affraid to download Vista SP1?

    How long does the "Configuring Updates..." phase last? I've rebooted twice already and it's really taking a long time for this phase to pass. Just wondering if I should just go to bed at this point.

    Q9450 Temps

    Wankel, hahah sounds like a sound decision ;) Good luck with the 1.3v. I think you can easily hit 3.4 and more with your board and chip. So many people in the forums are doing way better than me :p

    Q9450 Temps

    Hey Wankel. So I'm stable at 3.4 with 1.3v. I don't want to go above 1.3v at this point. That's also 1.3v in BIOS. When I see the CPUID and other diags it shows a much lower voltage (~1.2+), so I'm happy with the 1.3v I have set in BIOS right now. Right now I'm trying to OC my not so...

    Q9450 Temps

    I keep having problems when I try to fire up REAL TEMP. Keeps telling me a dll is missing and to re-install. UPDATE: Looks like my max temps on Real Temp are up to 60c during load. Idle it looks like it just hovers around 43-43c. I think 3.4 at 1.3v is where I have to stop with...
