Thx for the warning and info!! Well, I hope they fix it in a month or so, was eager to get that mobo with the QX. But I can wait a bit and see what comes out. Is the ASUS P5B-Deluxe the best choice for OCing? apart from the evga. Cause if when i'm ready to by (wont buy at least till vista...

Sweet, this puts my mind to rest. Thx guys.

Thx, that's perfect.

Thx! Nothing like first hand experience. This will help me decide.

As title sasy, if you are going to overclock the FSB to 1333 (mobo sasy it can do 1066/1333) do you need an after market mobo fan or the eVGA 680i mobo should be good to go as is?

I know what those are, cool thx :)

Ugh, that's no good. Is that aproblem that is beeing solved soon or should i buy a diferent combination of mobo/cpu?

Hmm, so it isn't a clean fit off the box. What's a dremel? you had to file down the bracket a bit?

I'm concerned about the weight of the tuniq tower 120, it sticks out a good bit at a prependicular andgle from the mobo, with gravety acting on it and the lenght of it, is there any risk of damage to the motherboard/cpu ? This is probably a rediculous question but non-the-less... Also has...

I'm a total OC noob so bare with me ;) I got a question. Why did you up the multiplier to 12x and not the FSB to 1333 (333x4). I'm thinking of getting the evga 680i mob and the QX6700 and I was thinking of runnign it at 1333 FSB (because the mobo says it can do that) and the result would be...

Yep, it's probably gona come out right arround $4k. But I like to build a killer system every 5 years or so. I work for a living, so i'm gona be the one ponying up the money, no one else to do it for me ;) Yeah, those smaller raptors also look good and better price. One thing though, they...

LIST UPDATED ON FIRST PAGE Please check the first page list again adn give me feedback on what you think of the build :)

How about this: Lite-On SH-16A7S (SATA) http://us.liteonit.com/us/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=198&Itemid=67

Thx for the heads up. The chipset is gona be the 680i, so shouldn't affect. I'm thinking about this: 2x Barracuda 7200.10 SATA 3.0Gb/s 250-GB Hard Drive (ST3250620AS) in RAID 0...

Yep, I'm considering only one for now and a second oen only when the price drops or i see the performance need. Same thing for the RAM, maybe go with 2GB now and add another 2GB later on based on price drops/ performance need. That should save me over 1000 $US right there. The hard disks is...
