Xeon L5639 Overclocking on X58

The king of the socket 1366 air coolers is probably STILL the Noctua NH-D14. Great mounting design, and performance. I have one on my X58 - just got my X5670 in the mail, and I'll be installing it this weekend. WEEEeEEeEEeeee! http://www.noctua.at/main.php?show=productview&products_id=34&lng=en

No. Just no. Now, go back to your hole you troll. :P Why should I do the OP's research for him? I already did my own research when I built mine. Don't be ridiculous! And also you forgot to include the other half of my post...

Are there any alternatives to Microsoft office?

I use openoffice, but I might switch to libreoffice, since libre is the continuation of the original openoffice (right?)... but I'm too lazy / unsure to switch. Whenever I turn in something at school, I export as PDF for two reasons. Nothing can be edited by the recipient, and the formatting...

Whiskey gift - what to buy?

I like Ardbeg, Laphroaig (cask strength is a +), and generally Isla's but it's all personal preference. If you bought the two I listed, that would be pretty tasty and nice, IMO. Each one is around $60 I believe. Costco also has Blue and Gold label Johnny Walker, but I'm more of a straight...

I'm in the middle of using my computer (playing DayZ with my friends), and I really believe YOU should do the research yourself since it's your decision and you'll have to live with the purchase/equipment. But, the main issue here is that Corsair doesn't actually manufacture anything. Most of...

Well, this is a whole separate topic that already has it's own thread(s) here... I was merely making generalizations to make a point. I know the OP doesn't care, and I'm not going to change his mind, but it bothers me, so I assert my opinions. In other words, you will have to do your research...

The PSU is like the food & water you eat everyday. It feeds your entire system. It's NEVER silly to buy a high-end PSU. High-end does not equal high wattage. People who are too cheap to do things right suffer the consequences. I've heard so many times about systems dieing because they didn't...

Everything is relative. If something is worth doing, it's worth doing right. Why buy more RAM later? And why risk it with a cheap PSU? Sure it might work fine for years, or maybe a Seasonic X-series might be DOA out of the box, but why push your luck? He said he wanted reliable. You get what you...

TERRIBLE CHANGES. OMG... no, my OCD is freaking out! FWIW, I guess the case isn't bad, but I just did a build with a Cooler Master Storm Enforcer, and that was my favorite case to build in. And I've used some good cases.

LOL @ your finance ideologies... you shouldn't be ordering anything until you get out of debt. And, I ordered from TD once in like early 2000. Horrible back then, never went back. I've heard bad things recently.

If you want solid and reliable, you don't buy a $60 PSU. I agree on Gigabyte boards, I'm a total Gigabyte fanboy. They make great stuff. I disagree with Charlie98. I would stick with 16Gb of RAM, actually. I utilize nearly all of my 12Gb at times and it's fairly cheap. I game, and leave tons...

Do huge air coolers make sense?

I didn't want to mess with water. I bought a Noctua D14 - why? Because it's the best air cooler out there, or it was when I bought it. I think it's a thing of beauty, not ugly at all. The CM V8 GTS looks interesting from a design standpoint as well. But anyone who is worried about their cooler's...

Build suggestions

Well, I should've said if you have the money, might as well get an Intel. But, I figure most people are on a budget, and you really don't need the best benching CPU for gaming and light office use.
