how does a push/pull fan setup do better than a regular pull or push? my car only has a fan pulling air through its radiator and i know that when in motion there isnt as mush airflow if the fan is still running as well. Wouldnt this be similar with 2 fans set up to push and pull through a radiator?
I do it on purpose, gets under the skin so hopefully they rethink the BS going thru their head. The OP seems to understand what the H70 is and the reasons for wanting it are understandable. You OTOH didn't disprove anything. You said, "I want to set up this build and squeeze as much performance as I can out of it, then leave it alone." Considering that, I was wrong, your not just picking the most expensive parts, you simply don't know what you're doing. You don't need a 2600k, Maximus IV, and 1866 memory to accomplish that. Give me (good) specific reasons for choosing these parts and I'll concede. Or maybe you have none and just like having uber parts, that'd be fine too.
Oh, the rage. I suppose if I was your forum chum you'd be full of sunshine and support (* noting your posts have a sunny disposition in certain threads, and this e-thug attitude in others), but because I buy x, y, z part "I don't know what I'm doing?" There are a number of board members with these parts, perhaps you should send them messages (aigomoria is one) with "You really don't know what you're doing". Keep in mind, you don't get under our (my) skin. You toss out assertions/judgements that are simply baseless with no argumentation, and expect the recipient to sit there defending him/herself. I (we) are not your puppets, and that's that.
Perhaps instead of doing so you should pay more attention to what people post. Visit my memory/storage thread and bump it again by saying "I didn't disprove anything". Your claim there was, I'll remind you helpfully here, that "I am simply buying the most expensive parts". Here's a newsflash: a 980X is more expensive than a 2600K. Your necessary claim was debunked; you uttered a falsity, and you simply ended up looking silly for making such a rank generalization. You think you're getting under my skin? It seems I'd just need to list my parts and you'll get upset. I'll do that when the build comes together, then you can feel free to jump in the thread and say "LOL HAF-X is OVERKILL FOR THOSE MILD OVERCLOCKS LOL!!!" and feel better about yourself, if you want, for failing to make yet another poster look stupid. Cheers!
Still won't answer my question, huh? Notice how many people in your thread were suggesting lower speed memory? It's easy enough to answer your question, but 1866+ for a SB build is a noob choice unless you have a good reason for it, one being a hobbyist (like aigomoria) which I doubt you are since you even had to ask about it. People buy high-end boards for specific reasons, like to take advantage of faster PCIe when running dual video cards. But even a $190 board can do that. There's very little reason to get a 2600K unless you can take advantage of HT.
From this post, it looks like I am getting under your skin. I don't try to make anyone look stupid. They do that themselves. I try to save people money. There's always more meaningful ways to spend money than going overkill on a computer.
I just recently bought the CM Hyper 212+ and I must say I am impressed.
OCed my CPU to 3.7 ghz and my idle is around 30ish while under load it pushed to 50ish, I haven't crossed 60 yet :coo: . I am going to try to push it to 4.0 soon.
