Hey guise. I have everything for m i7 build, except the CPU itself. Is there a specific batch I should be looking for? Here are is the memory and board I have.

Nice board choice. You may also want to consider the DFI x58 boards, Asus Rampage II Gene, Foxconn Blood Rage, and Biostar x58. As far as the ram goes, that is an excellent choice. I hve the same sticks, and they are running 1700 8-8-8-21 on 1.63v.

I already have them sitting in my case. Just now got a CPU.

I plan on running water or one of those CoolIt Freezones. IDK what to pick. I was gonna get a MCR320 rad...... And those Heatkiller WB and backplate are oos.

I'd have to say water. I've had a freezone. Idle temps are great, but at full load water is just better. As far as blocks go, there are a couple of members here with heatkillers with good results. I'm running a EK Supreme LT. It's w/in 1-2c of the heatkiller, and it's considerably cheaper.

N4cot1c · Apr 3, 2009

link to the ek supreme and adapter? It seems like there are different types?

Chicken Patty · Apr 3, 2009

paulieg, the new board seems to be working great for you :toast:

Done any further tweaking with it?

Here's a quick run with my new Asus Rampage II Gene. So far, I'm very impressed with this little monster.

SystemViper · Apr 3, 2009

That would be nice and EVGA does tell you, DFI doesn't. Atleast not in the manual, still very good board. I don't like that you cannot lock the 21 multiplier on my old EVGA you could.

You can lock the x21 multi on the DFI.

Tatty_Two · Apr 3, 2009

All my new kit has arrived, I will try and get the system built over the weekend.... expect some questions! :rockout:

Binge · Apr 3, 2009

Whelp.. my Kingston HyperX died. :shadedshu

yes I see that now but from what I read it effects only benefits single threaded apps.

From the reviews I've seen, there is very little if any difference b/t the two.

N4cot1c · Apr 3, 2009

hmm

If performance PC's or sidewinders doesn't get heatkillers in soon I might just get the EK.

Hey but don't let it get you down. I'm sure they'll get them soon. Especially Performance PCs, send them an e-mail and ask for an ETA. 1-2C is a huge difference in optimal testing conditions.

N4cot1c · Apr 3, 2009

I just noticed I live less than 50 miles from performance pc's. Cool!

N4cot1c · Apr 3, 2009

About 2 weeks or less. Shipping Thus. of next week to us.
Best Regards,
Customer Service, Performance-PCs.com

I can wait =)

Binge · Apr 3, 2009

Yeah I've actually been surprised with their customer service lately. It's been amazing.

2lowSniper · Apr 3, 2009

Sidewinders should have them in next week so keep an eye out for them.
