I just swapped out an MSI P67A-GD65 (b3) for an ASrock Z77 extreme6 as the top PCI-x slot was bad in the MSI board. The 6 has a few more options than the 4, but basically the same board, on sale for $100 at microcenter. I've had no troubles with the board, nor did I find the PCB to be...

It would be nice to see if it would fit on a p67 board with a fan and allow the use of the first ram slot. Could the first ram slot be used on the Gigabyte x58?

Just add another fan so you have a push/pull (with the stronger fan pushing) and your temps should drop.

I suspect not. I'd put money on this ending up as an Antec Kuhler 1000, i.e. something to compete with the H100. If I'm right, that means it will need to be priced around $100-125.

CM 690 II and much cheaper. Probably not as nice, but you can mount a 240 at the top or bottom and you can add 2x 140mm side panel fans.

I believe the 1425 RPMs is the pump, the fan speed isn't available in the BIOS. And, 1425 is right around where the pump should be based on what I've read and what I see for my setup. For your fan configuration, you want the stronger fan pushing. In my setup, I have the antec fan pulling and...

It sounds like you might need a BIOS update, I recall there being a "cold boot bug" with some Asus sandy bridge boards. Your temps seem a bit off but not terribly. My idle temps are mid 20's and loading with p95 or occt reach 58-59c or so. How many case fans do you have? Does the rad fan...

Does "while running windows" mean you're not doing anything in windows? If so, depending on your room temp that seems high. You may want to remount the WB and while doing so check to be sure it's making good contact with the CPU. If it's not, make sure you're mounting it correctly and that it's...

It also costs 3-4 times more than most of the self contained units. What's the $ per cooling value workout to be with one of those?

I have the 620 and my brother has the h60 and while they're very similar mounts, there are some differences that might be worthy of discussion. For one, the 620's WB is round and the H60 is square. The 620's bracket and rotation locking are quite nice and make it nearly impossible to squash...

That's something I forgot to mention. I have a Thermalright 120 Ultra I attempted to use the P67 mounting adapter for on my board. Not only did the adapter not work because of how the screws would've gone right into the capacitors next to the socket, but it would've also blocked the first ram...

Should've said that I agree with you on well worth the money. I will never buy another air cooler again for any of my gaming rigs. Used to DIY watercool with a mag5, little river / dtek spiral and a black ice extreme back in the day, and the new all in one closed system units finally give you...

Funny thought they were all made by the same company. The H60 and 620 rads are almost identical. Did you have trouble mounting your waterblock? My bro busted one of the screws from over tightening and also crushed some of the capacitors next to the socket a bit.

Yea Asetek makes them, from what I've read. My brother has the H60 push CM Sickleflow push default fan pull, with a Core i5-750 @ 3.2ghz 1.3v, CM sniper case, GTX275 and gets similar temps to my setup.

Their review only used one fan (since that's all it comes with). However, if you use 2 fans in push > pull, you get better temps. I have an Antec Kuhler 620 with a coolermaster sickleflow 120mm pushing and the stock fan it comes with pulling. Airflow goes from in the case > out to back...

Their review is wrong on the Antec price as well. I picked one up from Microcenter for $69.

Thanks for the suggestions. I can manually OC to 4.4 with 1.35 vcore, C1e enabled, speedstep, VT, etc. I checked the power settings and already have those set to max. Guess the 3.4 max turbo with this setup is just "how it is".

Also updated to the 1.A (1.10) bios and that didn't effect the boost at all, but it did fix the XMP profiles for my ram so that it gets clocked at the right settings now.

Anyone else have this problem with an SB proc? Even with a different board. Anyone tried returning their SB for an issue like this or similar? I got my 2500k at microcenter (for $179) and said they won't take it back unless it's defective but they couldn't tell me exactly what that means and...

I just built a new rig (parts below) and no matter what I try the turbo boost on my 2500k never goes above 3.4ghz. I've OC'd plenty in the past and have a bit with this new setup, but only with the OC genie so far. OCG clocks the proc up to 4.2ghz @ 1.4v core. I'm curious if there's a way to...

When I buy a new video card, I usually don't want to spend more than a certain amount, but if what I want to spend isn't going to yield the performance I'm after, I may spend a bit more. Having all those cards in the same article would make it easier to make a decision. I usually read a ton of...

blast fan

Hooke me up, please!

Hook me up please! I really need it :-(...

w00t!

Funny how they chose the words "shared folder" every machine has the default admin shares which is the entire drive (on windows machines)...
