    stock and other Intel CPU cooler design

    I hate the push pins, but the first time I did a Socket A (first computer I built as well) I was sweating it. I remember having a screwdriver slip and hit the mobo one time, luckily didn't hurt the mobo.

    8GB 1600 Sandy Bridge memory $29.99 newegg

    Bought two kits for my X58A-UD3R and running 12gb no problem. Have an extra stick left over that way, but I'd rather do that so I'll have the extra stick when going to either SB or IB.

    I have a 6870, is it really worth it for Crossfire for games?

    I've had pretty good luck with my 6870s crossfired. Of course there's always a game or two that don't utilize it for jack or having to wait for a driver update. If you already have one card and your PSU can handle it then I say go for it.

    Advance Auto Parts - Several Very Useful Codes for Ordering Online

    There's always an advance auto code on the website it seems like. Can't remember the last time I actually went to the store to buy something, easier and cheaper to buy online and select store pickup.

    awsome story

    I had an issue with a bad sata cable, and during the troubleshooting had somehow left my pump molex disconnected. CPU survived, but one of my HD4870s didn't make it. Started melting the block (maze 4) and leaked onto the bottom card (which still worked after cleaning) so yeah things can get...

    Are you skipping 2500K/2600K?

    With a i7 950 at 4.3ghz it just isn't worth it to me right now. Now adding another HD6870 is a possibility, but I'm not struggling now and very likely could skip crossfire and wait for the next generation of cards.

    XSPC Rasa: How tight?

    I snagged a Rasa for my i7 950, and yeah the instructions/mount seem a little janky. Block performs good though. 4.3ghz/hyperthreading on with 1.42v and my hottest core is 72 testing with linx. Variance is good ranging from 70-72 as well. Next time I have to mount I'm going to get white out or...

    2x (two) Gigabyte GeForce GTX 460 1GB Video Cards $324 after MIR

    There's a lot of truth in what cannondale06 is saying. I'm kinda stuck right now with what to do. I have crossfired 4870s that are performing great and allowed me to skip the 58XX series, but would I have been better off selling them when I could have got something out of them and going with a...

    is watercooling worth it

    Two waterblocks (MCW6000 and Dtek Fuzion) for five different computers. One gpu block (maze 4) for five different graphics card. Just added a second gpu block for crossfire though. Not bad lifespan if you ask me. Have been watercooling long enough for a Laing D5 to bite the dust. Some of the...

    Catalyst 10.5?

    Horizontal lines in BC2 aren't as bad with crossfire with the 10.5 from my two days of use. They disappear usually after a couple seconds if they crop up as well.

    XFX HD5870 *New Model* $419.99 - 12.5% BCB *Instock at TigerDirect*

    They stunk up the place with the non reference HD4890s. I wouldn't buy a non reference card from them or anyone else if I didn't have to.

    Using a 32" LCD HDTV as a Computer Monitor

    That's something I've always wondered about. Is there a higher lag using a HDTV over a monitor? Something noticeable with first person shooters? I mean the price of a 32" 1080p TV makes them viable for monitors in my opinion.

    Antec TP-750 Blue for $90 @ Amazon

    I have one powering a 3.8ghz quad and crossfire HD4870s with watercooling and it does the job. I'd recommend one.
