My PC was running a little too warm for 4.8Ghz so I bought a new Corsair H100 watercooler and a new door for the 600T with 4 ultra quiet fans. Seems to be a lot better now. Although I can't max the fan power on the H100 because they are stupidly loud, so it's on it's lowest settings. I've set...

I've just installed the Revision B3 P8P67 Deluxe motherboard from Asus, replacing my B2, and now it wont post with all my RAM in place. I have 4x4GB DDR3 1600 RAM which worked fine on my old board but the PC will only boot if I use 8GB in slot 1 and 2. If I fit all 4 cards it brings up post...

Does anybody know where I can find the serial number on my P8P67 Deluxe Motherboard? Asus are doing a B3 replacement program. Is it the sticker on the top right as you look at the board, the one on the SATA ports or the yellow one near the PCI slots? Or is it one I don't have that PCS have...

I'm running a 2600k at 4.6ghz with the lowest vcore possilbe (1.3v) and it still hits temps of 75 degrees or more in Prime95. If I go to 4.8ghz with 1.36v it hits 85 degrees! Others with similar specs report a max temp of 60-65 degrees with 4.6ghz. I've got a feeling this Coolit Eco ALC is a...

After cancelling my 980x order, I've gone ahead and ordered a Sandy Bridge system... Case CORSAIR GRAPHITE SERIES™ 600T GAMING CASE ***NEW*** Overclocked CPU Overclocked Intel® Core™i7-2600k Quad Core (3.40GHz @ max 4.20GHz) Motherboard ASUS® P8P67 DELUXE: USB 3.0, SATA 6.0GB/s, CrossFireX™ /...

Well I've gone ahead and cancelled my 980x order as it doesn't make a lot of sense buying into old technology when the 2600k performs so well for very little cost. In fact, it seems to beat the 980x in most applications that don't utilise 6 cores so it should be great for gaming anyway. I'm...

I ordered this spec on Dec 23rd. Still waiting on it though as some of the parts are out of stock, it's killing me!!! What do you think? Case CORSAIR GRAPHITE SERIES™ 600T GAMING CASE ***NEW*** Overclocked CPU OverClocked Intel® Core™i7 Six Core Processor i7-980X (3.33GHz @ max 4.00GHz)...

Is there any word yet on when the 990X will be released? I see the i7 2600k is out on the 9th Jan, will the 990x be released at the same time? I'm looking to build a high end system. Is it worth waiting until the 990x release or just get the 980x now before the VAT rise? Will the price of these...
