+1 for the Gelid Tranquillo. I run my 2500k at 4.5ghz and at full load it sits around 60c.

Did you just take out the old Mobo & CPU and replace with the new ones, connect it all and fire it up?

What RAM did you get?

Are you mixing different sets of RAM to get 5gb?

The Gigabyte Z68AP-D3 Intel Z68 really does seem to be a fab budget board that overclocks the 2500k pretty well on air, the one thing that really is putting me off picking one of these up over the asrock extreme 4 gen 3 is the ugly looking parallel port along with the lack of dvi or vga output all be it my monitor does have an hdmi out i just choose to use dvi

Are the rev 1 one board pci-e 3 compatable?

Yeah, it's only temporary though.
