FWIW, WC seems intimidating but it is not. Personally, I would not WC thinking you will magically overclock alot more.
WC will get better temps and if setup correctly can be quieter. I loved the idea and the challenge.
WC takes a bit of planning where air cooling does not.
You have to think...
Jeez, the prices is very fair for OCing warranty. I could not rma a chip I killed, seems very wrong.
Now, I spend $20 and I cover my OCing. Kudos, to Intel for a very fair price and policy.
Sky pix and I are using a SSD with sandforce controller and the C3 and C6 need to be disabled to avoid BSOD. intel SSD don't seem to suffer from this issue.
I agree I only use Intel SaTa 6g ports. Marvel seem to be poor controller. It was on badaxe2 as well.
You really need to leave C3 and C6 off for the SSD. I know some are mad about this but who cares you need a stable setup. I never enabled them and I have never had BSOD( except trying to hit 4.5 ghz:) ).
I would rather have the showed of the sand force controller and stability. My CPU...
Yes

Unfortunately, nothing new with technology from one source adversely affecting another.
I love my Corsair Force GT 120 gb SSD and based on price with or without the rebate, it was too good to pass up.
I know Intel is " better" but price is absurd.
All SSD are way over priced, but they are...
Thx. There are alot more settings to tinker with.
Yes i throttle to 1.6ghz with vcore around .98- 1.1v.
I will o/c a bit. 3.7-4ghz sounds nice. I would think the SB chips should easily do 20% o/c at low vcore.
Your help has been excellent. Quick follow-up from another thread you posted...
Option rom message has to do with error messages for 3rd party something. if you set to force, it will give the error message and cause a reboot.
keep current means it will post a message only if the 3rd party product creates a message.
I am not sure what boot products need this but IMHO it is...
Thx.
My last build was 4yrs ago, so these new mobos are sweet. I had no idea you can keep speedstep and still overclock. Wow, so it overclocks only when needed but will have a cpu idle speed much lower?
All I know is on my mobo when I set XMP(i assumed it was a memory change only), I found...
I just installed everything and booted with Win 7 disc. I installed to the Corsair 120gb Force Gt drive on the intel 6g port.
Only bios changes were:
turning off the marvel ports, disabled C3 and C6, set option rom messages (boot menu) to keep current.
I turned off on board sound, FireWire as...
When i set the memory to XMP in the bios. I am offerred one profile which i enable. I changed no other settings from default. The cpu vcore was raised and the cpu speed was set to 3700.
I was reading that XMP profiles can alter cpu settings, but i could not find anything that confirmed what...
I just setup the system in my sig. When my ram iset to XMP the cpu runs at 3700 but core is bumped to 1 .32v
My cpu defaults vcore 1.25v @ 3.3.
I manually setup ram to XMP settings(turned off xmp).
I set cpu at 3.7gh on manual vcore of 1.25v.
So does turbo mode over-volt vcore...
Thx. I am still waiting to see what happens but feel very lucky so far.
In boot menu, there is an Option Rom Messages, this has caused many to have reboots issues on initial boot(?). It is recommended to set to keep current.
I turned off onboard video as I have dedicated videocard( if you...
Thanks
I just setup my system under air. I may go ahead and build my waterloop again

I updated my setup to:
i5 2500k
asus p8z68-V Pro/Gen3
RAM: 16gb(4x4) Ripjaws
Corsair 120 GB ForceGT SSD
1TB WB Caviar Balck SATA
I turned off the pagefile. I cant see a need for it with 16gb ram on the system. why use 16gb on my SSD drive?
Any thoughts?
I am not looking forward to it all now. I was hoping for an easy build. I have stopped over clocking as no need.
Are you using any on- board sound or on- chip video?
Crap. Why would need " quad" kit? Do they real test all the stick pre- shipping to work.
Ram issues suck...I wish on newegg site they would list ram needed for he board. I got ripjaws on- sale and assumed g.skil would be ok. Never thought to get corsair vengenace.
I thought as long as they...
Not so much UI but ease of use, reliabilitynand excellent performance. TimeMachine works very well.
I have found Acronis is not always reliable for example. For that matter, I have had issues with poor reliability on the WinXP built - in imaging program. I have not used Win7 version is it better?
Thanks. I previouy like to overclock and I enjoy building a waterloop.
I bought i5 2500k and the Asus p8z68-v pro/ gen3 already. Just was not if I needed a "new" videocard.
I appreciate the advice
I am doing my first build in like 4 yrs. I no longer on my computer.
I am clearly not real power user but I still prefer windows over Mac.
I watercool but will not overclock as I have no need.
I would like to do if the on die video is acceptable for running a monitor and doing simple...
What amazed me by this process outside of the fact the Democrats decided that what people wanted was wrong and they knew best, was how few people understand that most have to pay for this "reform".
It was corrupt politics at its worst. Dems: the process we are using to pass this has been used...
You realize with this bill it will be cheaper for your employer to pay a fine and dump your insurance and then you will pay more. Maybe you cant afford it even with subsidies.
This will not prevent abuse of ERs there wil lbe many who will still opt not to buy insurance!
I have no idea how this has not been plastered all over. The supporters of this bill have stated it will reduce the deficit by $140 billion or so. This was based on the CBO numbers.
Problem is this is an outright lie. Complete fabrication. Why you ask. Well the CBO numbers that were...
Jeez. Look at this reform bill, it is a tax on the middle classs its just called this.
family of 4 at $44K will have to 6-7% of income and at $88k its 9-10%. Now there will be some help but it phases out at 88K. So tell me how someone at $44k want s to pay $2K+ on insurance if there...
Nobody commets on the Wii..doesnt everyone own already...
WOW..1.26m units in the US alone....300K more than Xbox360 and 500K more than PS3
But almost no game sales on the Wii....I guess all anyone plays is Wii Sports
