I actually reseated it with TX-3 since on my initial setup I couldn't get through OCCT without stopping after 6 seconds because it reached the thermal limit. My idle right now with stock cooler and stock settings is at 47°C, Prime95 max temp was 82°C, I want to bump this to at least a 4.0...

Asus has some pretty good and cheap gaming LCDs that are $200 and under. VH236h ($180-200 CDN) , VH226h ($170-190 CDN), etc. + rebates from Asus. Sell that old LCD for 20-25 bucks on craigslist or RFD then you're set! These were used in the Evolution StreetFighter tournament championships a...

Hi, I have an Intel DX58SO and Patriot Viper Extreme and I have been looking for heatsinks other than stock and water cooling that will fit on this setup. The Patriot heatsinks are tall (they are exactly the same height as the stock Intel heatsink minus the fan on top) and so far, definitely all...

lol at least they didn't go compeltely tasteless and put pubes on that damn thing.

Awesome, thanks!

lol well even winter time up here in Canada my 8800GT and pentium 4s produce so much heat and are only about 5 degrees cooler than in the summer. I think I really have to work on cable management and airflow.

Those icons look pretty damn awesome. May I ask the name of the icon pack?

I love dBpower amp!! I have a ton of podcasts I need converting to save space (Mp3/Mp4 to wma) and this thing works like a charm (select all + easy right click context menu)

we'll probably be well into 22nm or even 16nm by then. :)

yeah I was thinking of selling my 8800GT but then realized I should keep it just in case.

From Ars Technica: http://arstechnica.com/business/news/2010/02/amd-reveals-fusion-cpugpu-to-challege-intel-in-laptops.ars This looks like it can kick Intel's Clarkdale/Arrandale ass, especially considering AMD's track record with pricing. I can't wait what they show at the ISSCC.

Great review! I love the "best playable" reference chart for each game, I wish more review sites had that. This thing would be a great replacement for my 4550. I think the power consumption is almost the same but the performance is almost doubled from that.

When it comes to microwaving, I'm more of a pizza pockets guy as they come with that crisper box. lol. I like my frozen pizza baked in a toaster oven. 10K on a computer for me would be 6x120Hz LCDs, SSDs in RAID and maybe a phase change cooler. I still wouldn't buy an Intel Extreme chip...

How much are the storm snipers now? The 690 II Advanced is still cheaper I think at $100 (storm sniper is around $130-150 IIRC) and I like the look of it more. Plus...more features!

Looks like ASUS are adding on to their TUF series military-class hardware, first with the Sabretooth now this.

AFAIK, 4-pin PWM fans are backwards compatible although if its going to be connected to a 3-pin or 2-pin connector, you will lose the ability to control the speed. The pinout for 4-pin PWM afaik usually is: RED(or sometimes YELLOW)=12v, BLACK=GND, the last two are speed control and pulse...

I know this sounds really geeky but somehow I think I'd sink more money into my system than on my car. lol I'd probably max out a six-monitor eyefinity setup before spending a dime on aftermarket car parts.

It's really annoying how you basically need to be online to play these games now just for DRM verification.
