    That memory will be compatible with Ivy Bridge and this mobo??

    I hear DDR 3 will work. Seriously though, there are some kits specifically designed for z77 already out there, and it says so in the product descriptions....

    AM3 MB which should I get

    Crosshair V Formula. MSI is fail, they don't have Over Current Protection on the VRM, leading to fires on boards and destroyed CPUs. It is WELL documented that MSI boards do this search around google and you can find a list of hundreds of people who learned why not to buy MSI first hand.

    LGA 2011 Motherboard, which one is better?

    If your not overclocking, but an Intel board. Cheap as chips and still has a ton of features including overclocking should you so desire.

    Crazy high WC temps, what gives?

    Since tubing is the single lowest restriction in any system, adding an extra 2 feet is not an issue, and will not significantly effect his flow/pressure/temps. "Significant Head pressure" no, you don't. You loose significant head pressure in ONLY the radiators, the rest of the loop maintains...

    Crazy high WC temps, what gives?

    You are correct about the Pump RPM, it should not be so low. You are misinformed concerning the pumping configuration and the ability of the MCP35x however. It is one of the best pumps ever made for water cooling, and no I don't have one, so I am not a fanboy. At 100% duty cycle and 12v...

    Crazy high WC temps, what gives?

    AS5 is mediocre at best compared to the best TIM now, that should net you 1-3c (Prolimatek PK-1, and Phobya HeGrease). The flow is fine unless you messed something up. Are your fans all set as inlets, so they draw fresh air over the rads? If not, set them that way. It will be an overpressure...

    New folder i7 3820

    I was doing RC5-72, aka dnetc but decided that this was far more worth of time than a simple key brute force effort.

    New folder i7 3820

    Thanks for the heads up on the TPF times. After disabling the GPU slots and setting 8/100% the TPF times are down to 3min05sec :P Now to find a project with very little CPU overhead that is GPU only.

    New folder i7 3820

    Thanks guys. I will try both, with and without the GPUs crunching each way for a couple days see what I get overall. Power cost isn't an issue for me thankfully.

    Currently have my rig setup as follows: i7 3820 - 4.9 ghz 16GB DDR 3, 2044 mhz, 9-11-10-28-1t 2x 6870 1060core/1125ram Have F@H setup to run SMP -7, and 2 GPU units, then adjusted the "Percent CPU Usage" to 87%, so that 1 core can still run both GPU projects. My first WU for the CPU I have...

    Upgrade or not? Platform switch.

    Thanks for the replies. Kirbyri, the subjective part is exactly why I find the decision difficult. I have looked through all the reviews, and rarely do I see either the i5 or the 8150 clearly beating the other by more than a small margin, thus, my indecision.
