    P55-GD55 anyone own this board?

    Hi, bought a combo deal at Fry's. Anyone own this board and overclocked an i5 750 on it. Read that they left Vdroop control out of the BIOS, haven't built rig yet but trying to get info before build so I know what I'm facing. Thanks, Marc

    i5-750 / MSI p55-GD80 --- need OC help

    Hi, I'm having same issues as Davermonk. But am running Hyper 212 cooler. I tried your settings but it won't boot. I tried raising the Vcore to 1.45 but it gets really hot really quick under Prime95, and is unstable. I'm running A-Data 1600 RAM which on the MSi site is suggested and was tested...

    New build problems, BSOD

    Guys, Not quite understanding what's happening here: Just built Msi p55-gd65 with i7 860, 2x2gb GSkill Ripjaws CL7, GTX 295, Corsair 650 watt psu, x-fi titanium, velociraptor 150. So I start to install Win 7 Ultimate 64, delete old partition and it's starts to install. It gets to about 9%...

    U can't make me use 120mm cooler.....maybe

    Corsair recommends the radiator be mounted so that outside air is pulled through the radiator. My cases have mesh fronts, so my Zalmans are pulling at least some cool outside air in across the fins. I have read where guys report thier mobo bowing under the weight of these huge coolers...

    And where are you pulling the cool outside air in from to cool the radiator? If the fan blows out the back you're pulling warm case air through the radiator, which would be, bad, to say the least. Don't know that they are necessarily quieter. I have good 120mm fans that when cranked are...

    P55-GD65 and big video cards

    Thanks. Well I have good circulation and a 120mm fan that blows air over and under my 295, so hopefully the air going under will cool that chipset heatsink as well. tehdude

    P55-GD65 and big video cards

    So I'm looking at my P55-GD65 (haven't built yet, still waiting for parts) and I notice that my GTX 295 once installed, will cover at least half of the chipset heatsink located near the first PCI-E slot. Is anyone out there runng a big card like mine on this same board, and if so what are...

    Room in the case isn't the problem. The radiator dumps hot air into your case, that's the problem. From what I've seen of OC results on 750/860, the temps don't seem to be too high. And as many have said, with my 295 I'm not going to need much of an OC, if any. I want to see at first what...

    If they just had made the hoses longer so that the radiator would sit outside the case, I would probably be sold. tehdude

    Your i7 920 is 130w, the 860 is 95 w. tehdude

    U can't make me use 120mm cooler.....maybe

    Thanks. Well here goes picky again: Since there are probably no real good silent 92mm x 25mm PWM, fans although I haven't looked yet, do you just plug the 3 pin from LNA into the CPU fan connector and disable throttling in BIOS? How exactly do the Noctua fans connect up when you install them...

    U can't make me use 120mm cooler.....maybe

    Thanks, yes that may be the one. But I have to ask, does it block any RAM slots? Looks a little thick. Thanks, TX3 looks a little cheap but may perform well. Zerotherm is very intseresting, I kinda like the idea that the fan is imbedded, but can you swap it out? Looks like some screws on the...

    What about this?: http://www.frozencpu.com/products/9912/fan-637/Arctic_Cooling_F12_120mm_x_25mm_High_Performance_Ultra_Quiet_PWM_Case_Fan_AF12_PWM.html But guys can we get back to smaller solutions please? I really, really want something no bigger than 92mm. Anyone have ANY ideas? tehdude

    U can't make me use 120mm cooler.....maybe

    Thanks. Nice fan, too bad no one (that I ever heard of) has one. Bunch of no name sellers turned up on Google search and Newegg is out of stock. LNA? May have to go Noctua but will put fan controller with knob to crank up when needed. But OMG Noctua are just butt ugly. What are they thinking...
