GPU runs pretty good here, have it idling at 40C. FT01BW:

Seems pretty obvious, get the P6T vanilla since it's cheaper and you won't be doing any OCing. Also, I would return the 940 though and get the 920 instead.

Am getting this case for my i7 build. Here's a cool FT01 I found on the net.

Get the cheapest. Gigabyte UD3R Gigabyte UD4P Asus P6T Asus P6T Deluxe

Some people like to disable the feature so that can get lower temps and a higher OC, say from 3.8 to 4.2, effectively increasing fps some more. Until games become multi-threaded, you will get higher fps by turning HT off.

For thermal pastes, look into OCZ Freeze and Noctua NT-H1. Use creditcard to apply thin layer. Gentle Typhoon 1850 rpm produces 57 cfm. Should be fine with one of these or an S-Flex 1900 rpm for your TRUE, ideally with a fan controller.

Gamers, disable HT. Video encoders & multi-taskers, leave HT on.

Mushkin has better timings and is equally priced.

Better prices? 32nm is going to be high-end, even more-so. Production costs will decrease but I doubt retail prices will lower for something that is labeled high-end. What I'm saying is: it will be a lot cheaper for i7 owners to upgrade to 32nm. There's no arguing that. If you bought a Q9550...

Gulftown on x58 chipset in 2010+ woohoo! Glad I chose i7. Core Duo/Quad owners are screwed and will need to update mobo + cpu + mem to go 32nm. i7 owners will only need to buy a new cpu to stay on top. AMD is dying and will need to come up with a surprise. It's roadmap isn't looking purty...

The 920 stepping means nothing for overclocking. http://www.overclock3d.net/news.php?/cpu_mainboard/core_i7_920_getting_new_stepping/1

There is nothing to see. :confused: :eek:

That's absolutely beautiful. Who cares about the price. If you can get one, you get one and you enjoy it.
