Good choice of components

Saw your edit aswell

Congrats. Very envious as mine did not ship yesterday, but will be here tomorrow.

Assume the 5GHz was just a quick Bios job or did you get into Windows ok?

roadie · 6 Jan 2011 at 16:01

Awesome. This very build is my one of my options. Please let us know your thoughts on the mobo and how the RAM clocks

Doh, oh yea.

Just drinking tea and reading manuals atm, probably won't push it to 5ghz just yet, will stick to about 4.6.

Was considering getting H50, but may go full watercooled in the near future so didn't want a massive initial outlay.

oh yeah, 5ghz on air, pure jokeage

To be honest you can push it on air with reasonable temps! You would have to have a very nice CPU however

Asus reckoned 1 in 10 will do 4.8 on low voltage. So the chances of getting such a chip are pretty low ;(

That means out of the 50-60 of us whose orders were despatched only 5 - 6 will hit 4.8ghz STABLE at low volts... Personally I would be happy with 4.3ghz at medium volts.
