teehee yeah, its like christmas all over again

edit: one question: I currently have the Thermalright 120 Extreme for my current system (in sig)... will this fit on the UD5 straight away or do I need some sort of adaptor?

 

[Heofz]

Heofz, fancy doing some before and after benchmarks of a few games for us?

still using my q6600 and see no reason to upgrade.. (yet)


edit, same case and speakers

Sure

I'll do Crysis, Crysis Warhead, FEAR 2, GTA4, FarCry 2, and for old time's sake Counter-Strike:Source

Good luck with the realtek drivers! Nightmare on mine!!!!!

I'll be disabling the onboard audio straight away as I have an X-Fi Fatal1ty sound card

Well that RAM says there is 10+ in stock now so you should have it soon I take it?

Good luck with your build!

Their system is a bit borked according to the sales guys when I rang a few days ago and this morning, they actually dont have any in stock at all, and haven't done in the last week, but are expecting new supplies to arrive any day now.

Good luck with the X-FI card

been using it for well over 2 years now, never had a single problem with it...

any update?

Bought the LGA1366 bolt-thru-kit for my thermalright cooler, just waiting for the RAM now

Come on OcUK hurry up! I need some ram! lol

Right, my upgraded system is up and running now, and wow is it a beast Achieved 4Ghz with my 2nd try on this cpu/mobo. Left it looping 3dmark overnight and it was still going the next morning with no problems with temps less than 80°C. Memory running @ 2000MHz. I call that stable

Great board and was able to hit 4.2ghz with intel turbo feature, but hit BSOD during prime95. Disabled for now. Will tweak further soon...

I'm glad I upgraded

3DMark06 Score: clicky
