    XFX 650i Ultra & e8400

    Just couldn't pass up a sale on an e8400 - so I replaced my e4400. I upgraded the bios on my el-cheapo XFX 650i Ultra mobo to the last bios available - P05 and slapped it in, reapplied AS5 and my Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro. It's now running Orthos stable at 4.35Ghz, 1.375vcore with 4GB...

    Reserator 1 plus questions

    Hi, I know very little about watercooling, read a few reviews. Considering watercooling to quiet my OC'd gear (in sig) - full size case with Zalman 9500 (on low) and five antec tri-led 80mm fans (volted down to 7V) + stock Leadtek 7900GS cooler = loud. Reserator 1 Plus kit looks good...
