I like how well the phone is built! I have had an iPhone in the past and am looking at going to some sort of android phone but don't want to lose build quality and this looks like a great option.

Yaaaaaaaa givaway

yeah sorry i have them running farly low to keep quiet but i have put them on high to see if it would help and it dosn't change the temp by more then 2or3c

bus speed is at 103 and multiplier is at 43 now. i havn't run prime 95 for 24hours on this yet but i havn't had any crashing of programs so im hoping it stable at this speed at least

i don't have extra thermal past right now just used what it came with but it is set fermly. i left my core voltage on auto if i run prime96 cpu-z is saying its maxing at 1.312v

within 1 or 2 celsius yes

So i have had my i7-2600k for over a year now and i messed around a bit with overclocking it but not much early on. I recently got an h100i and decided to overclock it for real so i looked up what other people with the same setup as me were finding to be an easy overclock speed to reach and started there. I tried starting off at what i thought would be easy and should have been from what i read for this cpu/cooler combo to handle. Multiplyer at 44x my buss speed at 100.0 i left my vcore on auto. I logged in to windows 7 fine and started up prime95, HWmonitor, and cpu-z the first problem i had was my temps where getting to around 79/80c on my hotter cores and from what i have read thats way to high with an h100i, I dismissed that thinking my cpu is just going to run a little hotter then others and let prime95 run when i was asleep. When i woke up i checked my computer to find a bsod. Now for my question is this normal becouse my cpu is gettinmg a bit older and just can't take the overclock i want to get with it. or did i get a bad cpu in the sence that i can't overclock it past what i can get out of it from turbo mode. Any ideas/tips would be awesome thanks!

I wanna win none of you do right? you just wanna let me win

Depends on if you OC the Maximus is better for that but will cost you more. if you don't plane on Overclocking then go with the P8Z77 LK it will work great for a normal system or medium Overclocks just fine.

If you go with scythe they will go with the black and blue better then noctua fans

Nice loop! In reply to Persianwarfare the temp of the water/coolant dose not change that drastically after cooling a component it is moving to fast so it dose not really matter where in his loop his 2nd rad is as long as its there.

ok thanks for the feedback. i don't have the money for 3 or 4 way sli so i should be good with 860:)

I'm going to upgrade my PSU and was thinking about getting the corsair AX860 Platinum PSU, but i am going to start water cooling my CPU soon and will add in GPU/Motherboard when i get the money to and what i'm wondering is if i should spend the extra 130$ on the 1200w version if i am going to be water cooling my system as well as overclocking my CPU and GPU. I know i should post all the hardwear i have but i will be getting a new cpu/Motherboard when the new Intel chip set comes out if its not a total bust and will be getting either there best 4 core or there 2nd best 6 core so equivalent to the i7-3770k or i7-3930k with an Asus maximus MB most likely. sorry for all the these are going to be the maybe parts lol

i posted this as a reply somewhere but thought i would post as a thread. This is how i try and explain why the memory of your GPU dosen't double if you have 2 cards in SLI/Xfire let me know if it makes sense to you. If you are really new let me just say this if you have x2 gtx 660s that each have 2gb of memory dose NOT MEAN YOU GET 4GB of memory so adding another card like the one you have will not help if you are running into a problem running to many monitors or 3D gaming if memory of your current GPU is the problem to begin with. Let me try and explain why. think of a sequence where each frame is named: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8. Card 1 will render frames 1, 3, 5, and 7. Card 2 will render frames 2, 4, 6, and 8. But both cards get frames 1 through 8 loaded to there vram. Now imagine 2 workers that don't know each other exist (the workers being your gpu's) and they each have lots of energy, (energy being the memory of the card) they are told to do a job that 1 man can do, they will finish the job faster, because there is 2 of them but they don't know that there is someone helping them so they look at the jog as a whole. So they plan how long it will take and how much energy it will use. they go and tell there boss it will take me this long ... and will take 100% of my energy so don't give me any other jobs. they do finish faster because unknown to them someone else was helping but that dose not help them plane in the beginning when they are looking at the job as a whole and think they are doing it alone. So to bring this back to cards. Two cards can finish rendering an image faster then one can but it still uses the same amount of memory that only one card would, this is because both cards have the same image loaded to there vram using the same amount of memory they just render different parts of that image. an SLI/Xfire set up works the same as a card with 2 gpus like a gtx 690 if it says it has 4gb of memory each gpu only gets 2gb of vram to load an image on not 4.

Are they using a MB temp reader that came with the board or HWmonitor/another downloadable program? If they are using one that car with the board try using a downloadable one. If you are using HWmonitor for example then I don't know what the problem is as I don't have an FX CPU and have never had one to check.
