    Maybe not Threadworthy, but still a Great Deal. Come Inside.

    The Samsung 30nm low profile seems to be the go to choice, I picked it up for my Ivy build, I have not had anytime to assemble or tweak it yet. Less than $100 (89$) for 16 gigs. There are allot of reviews out there on it.

    Well how do they work, whats the benefits? I don't know a thing about either or how I could utilize them. :confused:

    Intel Ivy Bridge Processor IPC and Overclocking @ [H]

    Why clock them both at 4gig and set the memory at the same speed on both and then run tests? Is it just me or is that just a bland way to test, I would think it would be max stable on both and max memory speeds and then compare.Let them slug it out maxed out. Thank you for the review.

    Smokes Build

    I have the p182 now too, and I normally leave the door closed. If I find I need more air flow I may mod the top of the case to accommodate more fans. What I really liked about this case is it has clean sharp lines.

    Smokes Build

    I was thinking the same thing, Since I can wait becuase my current system still works 2 months should not kill me. I ordered the pieces I am not going to change and will probably mod them a bit to kill time for the two months. Worse that happens is I get what I wanted in 2 months for a cheaper...

    Help me Build a I7 2700k computer.

    Should be plenty of power, with that corsair. Are you going to use a stock cooler? or aftermarket? I only ask because that ram is rather tall for allot of the aftermarket coolers. That mother board should be just fine too.
