    OC i7 920 to 3.8 GHz

    I just got my Corsair H50 installed and I'd like to get a decent 3.8 GHz overclock. I've searched google. Most of the guides are for 4+ GHz except for this one: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/254064-29-overclocking-specs-asus-deluxe-antec Is this setup ok? I thought I read something like...

    My Droid review

    This is a misconception. Pinch to zoom does work on the DROID, however, it is not enabled in the browser. Other apps can and do use it. It is only a matter of them turning it on in a future browser update. There have been multiple videos that show pinch-to-zoom working, such as...

    Corsair H50 on sale this week at Best Buy

    @DamnDirtyApe, are you using the H50 on both setups in your sig? Have you tried doing a higher overclock with your 920? I have the P183 also so the cooling environment is similar.

    Thermalright Ultra Extreme 120 Revision B & C Review @ [H]

    The Microcenters in Atlanta had Rev B's for several months. They only just got Rev C's in the last couple weeks. I think they wanted to sell off the B stock before ordering new ones.

    Corsair H50 on sale this week at Best Buy

    I pulled the trigger today. I got Microcenter to price match it. I exchanged a TRUE Rev C for it because I didn't want my case to be so crowded (air flow is already tenuous). Hopefully it won't be a mistake.

    Thermalright Ultra Extreme 120 Revision B & C Review @ [H]

    They have the regular Rev C (standalone heatsink) for $59.99. The RT (with fan and cover) is $74.95 If you have a microcenter near you they have the RT Rev C now for $74.95 as well. You'll pay tax but may save overall because shipping is about $10 at frozencpu.

    Thermalright Ultra Extreme 120 Revision B & C Review @ [H]

    Microcenters are finally starting to get the RT Rev C in stock. They are $74.99 (includes the fan holder and 1600 RPM fan). That price is pretty good considering it is cheaper than FrozenCPU after the shipping.

    TRUE or Megahalem for i7 920?

    Thank you for the insights. Where do you shop for cooling? Also, would the Corsair H50 be worth looking into? I think it ends up being pretty cheap AR from zipzoomfly.

    TRUE or Megahalem for i7 920?

    I guess the one thing I like about the standard TRUE versus the Mega is the fan covers. I find the fan clips to be a pain. That is not important if someone tells me the Mega provides better cooling though.

    TRUE or Megahalem for i7 920?

    I want to overclock my new build. Ideally I want to get to 4 GHz but I'll be happy at 3.8 GHz. I've heard a lot about the Cogage True, the Megahalem, and of course the standard TRUE. Which cooler do you recommend? I will spend a max of $100 (fan included). Mentionable items in my setup: Core...

    Monitor to purchase from Costco...

    I'm pretty sure even the S2409W is going for $70 cheaper than the Costco price. Check some of the deal sites. I know I've seen it around $200

    Which CPU Cooler for 4Ghz OC?

    I have two Scythe SFF21E... great fans. I can't hear them at all inside my P183. Since it is only 1200 RPM it does not move enough air to cool my dual-SLI video cards. I will probably replace one of them with the 1900 RPM version and keep the second one for my hard drives.

    Which CPU Cooler for 4Ghz OC?

    Is the Cogage TRUE better than the actual TRUE for cooling or just because of price differences? What if you had the original TRUE with dual fans?

    Did I break something? i7 920

    I read on one of the forums that one can get a stable 3.8 ghz simply by setting the BCLK to 180 and leave the rest at AUTO... so I tried that. When I got booted up the CPU was 68C. I rebooted, saw a CPU Temp warning from the POST, and set the BIOS back to default. Now it seems like the...

    I'd like to try W7 RTM before I buy it...

    Windows 7 RTM is still pretty buggy IMHO. Little things here and there, mostly related to the taskbar (lag starting apps, tray icons not updating properly or appearing blank). I can only speak for the 64-bit version though.

    GTX 275 SLI worth it?
