4970X will probably be around 1100$-1200$. Thats a lot :O

yeah I saw 2-5% decrease in temperatures so not worth it

They soldered it down so you are in luck if you want to wait :)' The release date is September

Wait so why are we all so angry? People can come here and freely give advice. You can't tell them to get out when they have an opinion about something that disagrees with your thinking because this is an open community. If you feel that people are giving bad advice then don't listen to them and read their comments. Lets be honest here, if you want advice there are plenty of Overclocking guides from people like JJ and others who are well-recognized. If people want to know maximum voltages or see what temperatures are acceptable, you can easily go on Intel's website and look at the official specifications. If you are feeling risky then you can just ask here and have users give you information without proper citation - the choice is yours. Now we can all agree that *most* Haswells run hotter than the previous generations because this is a lower nm process with tightly packed lithography and more transistors on the chip. There are also benefits like having a higher IPC. So yes, the temperatures will increase in some way. The OP's processor seems to be a golden chip because my Haswell (4770K) cannot come near his voltage and frequency. I have almost the same setup as him (mobo+cpu) with Ambient Room Temps of 21C (H110 Push) on an open bench with a huge fan position near the bench cooling it. My Haswell needs 1.18V to reach 4.2GHz and 1.29V to reach 4.5GHz (This is without mentioning memory overclocking and running the memory at 1333Mhz). So clearly, there is a lot of variations with Haswell processors as JJ mentioned and we cannot deny that. I have also been overclocking for a long time and have been extensively studying Haswell architecture. OP, you seem to be a nice guy and only want the best opinions but you are far to aggressive in your speech and that in turn makes you look arrogant and proud. I don't know if this is what you intend but people here expect a nice and kind atmosphere so please keep this in your considerations. I hope we can avoid threads like this and stop the hate from flowing through the community.

Hey guys, I have a Rampage IV Formula X79 motherboard. Unfortunately I bought 2 kits of (2X8GB) G-Skill Trident X Dual Channel 2400Mhz because they didn't have the Quad Channel kits in stock. I completely missed this on purchase day so now I have 2 of these that they wont take back: http://www.gskill.com/en/product/f3-2400c10d-16gtx I don't plan to run at 2400Mhz but I was hoping to get atleast 1600-1866Mhz out of it. These seem pretty similar to their quad channel brother: http://www.gskill.com/en/product/f3-2400c10q-32gtx in terms of timing with the only notable difference of having a D for dual instead of a Q for Quad in their product listing. Do you think I'll be able to get away with running these in Quad Channel?

If you can wait, then there's Ivy-Bridge Extreme that gets released in US/Canada in September. You can't blindly buy on release day because you need to wait for about 10-15 reviews to kick in and overclockers to get their hands on this to give you a range of overclocking frequencies. So if you are looking to buy IB-E then wait till end of September otherwise go for SB-E when you have the money.

So I won't have any problems with the Corsair H110 going on the top right? I'm going to the store today so I wanted to make doubly sure. Thanks!

I am interested in this case. The NZXT rep who wasn't sure told me the stuff was offset but the review from http://www.gamersnexus.net/guides/1076-liquid-cooler-roundup-h90-h110-x40-x60?start=1 here managed to install it but I dont really see any pictures. If this does not support it then I know the Phantom 630 and the Switch 810 will

3930K is more than enough. Hell the 3820 will do as well.

do you guys know if the 810 has enough space to mount fans inside?

Hey guys, I have narrowed down my selection to 2 cases. The Phantom 820 and the NZXT Switch 810. I have a Corsair H110 cooler and I am trying to do a push/pull configuration. I have seen the Phantom 820 accomplish this but I have not seen the Switch 810 do it. I know the H110 can be mounted inside the case but I'm not sure if there is space for the fans to be mounted underneath it. If you guys have any other suggestions for cases that provide support for the mentioned config please let me know. These are my specs 3930K Rampage IV Formula 2x 780 SLI 1050W Seasonic PSU 1 HDD 1 SSD

X99 is meant for Haswell-Extreme processors which will be released sometime next year and will require new motherboards due to DDR4 and other architectural changes. They are releasing Ivy-Bridge Extreme in September according to the articles from Guru3D and AnandTech. These CPUs can be used with X79 Motherboards. They are said to be 5-10% faster across the board. Hopefully they don't use the crappy TIM like Intel used on the Ivy Bridge series and solders them down like Sandy Bridge with proper IHS. To be honest with you, I'm going with the 3930K simply because I'm getting one for 400$. To buy a 4930K, I will have to shell out 650+tax which I really don't want to do. I am also not sure how well they overclock and how much more heat they generate. I know I can get the 3930K to atleast 4.2Ghz and not have it heat up a storm. I hope you have enough information to make a decision. Keep this in mind Gaming (and have more than 2 GPUs) and Video Editing = Extreme Processors Gaming (<=2GPUs) only = Normal Processors This is all dependent on cost and what you feel you want.

If you don't mind noise and you want maximal airflow then go with the 500R. I have the 500R but its a bit small for my taste with dual 780s and the H110 that barely fits properly. The 200mm fan on the side panel does make a difference. I really like the look of the Corsair 540 Air and its a great case if you like a big box shape. It showcases your components with its big window and it has plenty of support for watercooling (if you plan on going with AIO/custom loop).

alright thanks!

Hey guys, I have a corsair h110 and I'm just wondering if the H110 fits inside the switch 810 before I make a case decision. Ideally, I want a push pull configuration but I dont mind just pull or push. I have a Rampage IV Formula motherboard
