I meant would my current HSF work with the new Z87 motherboard. Not sure the exact model, but it's a thermaltake that looks almost identical to this one https://www.thermaltakeusa.com/products-model.aspx?id=C_00002026

Or do you guys happen to know if a HUGE radiator/heat pipe type cooler with 120mm fan would fit the same motherboard holes as my old Q9450?

Thanks for the info. Does the 4670K overclock well with the stock cooler?

Why do you recommend the 4670K over the cheaper 4670? Looks like they are the same CPU except the 4670K lacks Intel® Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (VT-d) and Trusted Execution Technology.

I have a high end antec case and a high wattage power supply. Save $6.50 over what? What CPU would you go with?

Case and PSU are good. I play all kinds of games. I have game ADD and change between the latest games often. My monitor is currently 1680x1050. Looks like the Intel i5-3350p is the best bang for the buck at the moment?

The Q9450 can be overclocked to 3.5GHz from what I've read.

Don't really have a set budget... I was more wondering if my CPU can handle games fine, could handle a 2nd video card, etc to see what my options are and then see how much it would cost.

Just wondering what I should think about upgrading on my system. I used to spend all day researching this stuff myself, just too busy these days and figured some of you may already have the answers. I need more RAM, want to add another video card to crossfire, and need SATA3. My current...

Just picked up a 7850 OC 1GB after seeing the nice $150AR deal thinking it would allow me to play ultra settings in BF3 but it kept doing this weird 0 FPS lag occasionally. Bumped up to the 2GB and everything runs perfect. Luckily the 2GB was only $165AR. Monitored my VRAM while playing and BF3...

I'm trying to hold out on griding away my 3 year $350 warranty... =]

It's been a couple days now. It's been through a few power cycles and prime95 crunching sessions. my stats: (Real Temp 2.60 / tjmax 95) "Idle" Temp (Vista, Outlook, IE, etc.) 55/55/42/42 Max Temps: (Prime95) 60/60/51/51 It's crazy how fast this thing cools down. If I turn off...

This shouldn't be a heatsink issue, because the same difference in core temp was present with the stock HS/F as with the aftermarket TRUE HS/F. Stock Temps Under a minute of Prime95, it went up to 73/73/66/68 TRUE Temps wtih prime95 running for > 5 minutes went up to 59/59/45/46 The...

Just replaced the stock HS/F with a Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme. Temps wtih prime95 running 4 threads for > 5 minutes are 59/59/45/46 Is it normal for the first two cores to be ~15C higher?
