Proposed build:
Intel i7-3770K
MSI Z77A-GD80 or P8Z77-V Premium or P8Z77-V Pro Thunderbolt
16 GB of DDR3
680GTX
Fractal Design Define XL
Noctua NH-D14 SE2011 or Noctua NH-C12P SE14
That setup should be able to hit 5 Ghz right?
My current build: Pics
Intel i7 2600k @ 4.5 GHz
Gigabyte Z68X-UD3H-B3
16 GB of DDR3
Dual 460GTX 1GB
Noctua NH-D14
Raven RV03
Unfortunately this machine does not get anywhere near 5 Ghz.
I think I'm just disappointed with my last build and really would like this new machine to overclock well. I'll most likely go with noctua fans all around to keep that scheme going. Also I'm hoping the single GPU and the large case will help with keeping the temperature down. What else can I do?
