Out of all that stuff, im more interested in the cooler, please get lots of pictures, how close it is to the RAM, temp results for it.

EXACTLY my thoughts ! The cooler could be full of win or fail

I'm going to be testing it soon in the Anidees case which arrives on Tuesday.

Will probably post a proper build log

Looking good. What case is this lot going in?

What are the plans for all those lovely SSDs? Sizes?

Out of interest are you "upgrading" from the system in your sig?

Taken a gamble with the Anidees

128 + 2 x 60 // Conf unknown but definitely not raid

Not really, shuffling the machine around the house... Giving that machine to the wife, hers goes to my kid and so on.

Actually the big reason for Ivy is the quick sync boost and I wanted to test out Lucid v2. The thing is that I've only been on the 2600K for a few months and although it kicks butt I just felt I could do with the 20-30% encoding gain.

Please let us know what are your temperatures like on the stock CPU clock

This will be of great interest to many, especially the results from that cooler, looking forward to seeing this build take shape.

I deeply resent that :mad:

I'm very hard working as you can see from the finished product

Cooler is awesome... clamp it in solidly and you're looking at great temps. Went straight to 4.6 - 1.25V.... 4.7 was stable on auto 1.4V... will let it bed for a week before hammering it properly

Cheap and nasty wifi card. This is a Ghetto build

I actually want a cheap and nasty wifi card... but I want a 300mbit cheap and nasty that actually manages a decent speed.

Care to let me know if its any good and speed/model etc?!

Subliminal Aura · 9 May 2012 at 21:45

yeah think it's just a 150 mate for a tenner ? - Like all wifi cards it's rubbish

I also got a TL-ANT2405C Antenna for £4 which should help with the signal.

I'm using it as a secondary interface so it's not important.... Gigabit LAN being primary

horrorwood · 9 May 2012 at 21:47

Yeh, I just want 50 to 100mbit performance for as cheap as possible. I have a PC on 54mbit ATM that needs to be faster, it gets about 20 to 30mbit.

I have an Asus RT-N56U as well.
