Good choice. Asus > the rest !

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....

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.

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

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...

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...

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...

http://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?14303-Emergency-Power-Down-burning-smell-what-the-hell-!&country=&status= What happens when a Choke overheats and slides under load. Settings were within normal overclocking values.

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

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.

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...

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.

Platform Selection Looking for some opinions based on objective reason, not subjective prefference :P Currently I have an Crosshair 5 Formula and 8150 at 5015mhz. It performs well for what I want to do. I am in a position where I can trade, straight up for a 2500k and a Maximus 4...

Soa I waqs tryong to replyu to thias andd noow muy keyuboard ids dfull og drerool.

TBH with a TJmax of 92, and not loosing any stability till the mid 70s, I think AMD are full of it about the 61c temp. Time will tell but I'm gona run it like this till Haswell/PD come out. If it dies prematurely, well, I guess ill be making a post lol. I think it has something to do with the...

Thanks for your feedback, I am pushing the limit obviously lol. Infact the CPU won't stabilize (P95+IBT) regardless of voltage even 1 HTT mhz higher. Planned system life is 1 year, as I always plan for.

So here is a screeny of my current settings and temps under a full load, would be ok with this or not? Blocks are XSPC RASA and MCW-60s on the 6870s:

I have recently finished my system upgrade, it is nothing amazing, but it is fast no doubt. I have come to the conclusion that I may have gone a little light on the PSU and I was wondering how you all maintain huge OCs 24/7 and how the PSUs take it. System: 8150 4.7ghz, 1.488v 2x...

well like everything on the internet apply your mental filter, and decide whether it's true or not for yourself. It IS true, and if you dont believe it buy an 8150 and a killawatt and crank her for 4.8 and see for yourself.

Seriously, you dont like that I posted actual data in your thread so you come shit in mine? I will go ahead and post up a video of the CPU loaded pulling 660 watts for you since you obviously believe everything thats in a video lol. Please edit out your shite from my thread, I was trying to...

Oh and if you really want a quiet system that games well and is responsive and AMD based find a 960T Zosma, it runs cooler than the normal Denab based Phenom II x4s, and can run at stock speeds at very low voltage, mine ran at 1.05 volts 3.3ghz 100% stable. Temps were around 1c over ambient...

For the DOA issue, go read newegg reviews and search around the ROG forum, since your not looking at a ROG board, it doesnt apply as the M5 has a different NIC on it. As a note, that M5 board is kind of a waste if your not planning on OCing at all, you can get away with a significantly cheaper...

http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?p=1038583853#post1038583853 consider that before FX purchase!

I know what review sites have posted, and there is a ton of rumor/noob posting all over the next about xxxxmhz @ xx temps, however, very little is backed by evidence, and very few people are specific about cooling setups, whether they are talking about CPU or CORE temps etc. I aim to shed a...

lol ok thats what i thought

I never had any intention of buying BD or PD..... I came across a Crosshair 5 Formula at 1/2 the normal price, still NIB :) So now that I have a 990FX board, an amazing one at that, would a 5ghz BD 8 core be a noticeable gain to a Phenom 2 x5 (lol YES x5) @ 4.4ghz?

geeks.com has the Crosshair 4 Formula for 93 dollars shipped right now!!

IGNORE ME I AM AN ATTENTION WHORE!

Thanks for the reply, that is as I suspected. I had a 60gb OCZ drive that I was using for a system drive, however, I find it very tedious to micro manage. The junction point thing would be great except one point, I would still only be getting HDD speeds for items vs SSD (nearly) speeds for...

Since I just purchased a few, I will be seeing what they can really take for 24/7 distributed computing load :) I should have it in 3 days or so, and the Peltier unit should arrive in a week or two, when its done being built. Running off the PSU will be: 960T, 5 cores 4.3ghz Dual 6870...

Just wanted to add that until midnight, the Capstone 750 is $87 shipped! Just ordered 3, NOTHING comes close to that in value for a PSU with this caliber of quality.

Ah, good to know.

Ivy Bridge...... it is the way. Really I just put this up for people having serious issues with the throttling so they can maybe squeeze out a few more MHZ.

In my particular case, the Zosma 960T, when overclocked will only downclock via multi using CnQ, it wont undervolt itself. If you have a chip that will still undervolt when overclocked with CnQ, you can avoid the need for MRPhenomTweaker. On a side note, if ASUS would release a damn BIOS with...

For the last 3 months or so I have been playing around with this board and a Zosma 960T. I had gotten to a point (4.2GHZ) where any further overclocking of the processor, through any method i.e. multiplier/htt, caused throttling of the CPU due to the VRMs overheating. The problem comes because...

MR Phenom Tweaker is the way to go if your after total control. When you go to the service section, you can configure the amount of load required to trigger the next power state up, or next faster cpu setting (P0 fastest through P3 slowest). Honestly, your best bet in my opinion with it is to...
