Actually I was talking about this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...2&cm_re=Asrock_ep2c602-_-13-157-352-_-Product
Seems the biggest complaint is old bios, but AsRock seems to provide excellent support..
Yeah that make sense to me. I suppose I should just cool it on buying stuff. I already blew $600 on upgrades this week for this new build.Still going to need to blow another $50 or so on cooling though cause my water cooler isn't going to cut it.Would it be better to go extreme air? Like this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...cm_re=phantek_heatsink-_-35-709-011-_-Product
or do you guys have some thoughts for cooling?
Is the chip throttling or why exactly do you not think water is going to cut it? Just because it gets hot while running doesn't mean it isn't functioning perfectly and keeping the chip cool enough.
Phanteks PH-TC14. Extreme air? Where I live, that's just normal air. ;-)
The TC14 is a great choice, as is the Noctua D15 and Cryorig R1. On the more extreme side is the TR Silver Arrow IB-E Extreme - and only extreme since its 2500rpm fans are fairly extreme acoustically. Not CLC loud, but getting close.
The top tier air coolers are within a few degrees (or better) of the popular CLC units with five times less noise at much less cost.
Running CLCs at sub 40dB noise levels results in 6-10 degrees hotter temps than a premium air cooler. Those shitty little high fpi aluminum rads require leaf blower force fans to achieve good temps. CLCs, while enjoying fantastic marketing, are not good values for temps vs noise.
The Swiftech 220/240 AIO series and EK Predators are a step up in the temp vs noise ratio, but aren't great values. And reliability issues, as with the Astek-clone CLCs, remain a concern for me.
The key to great cooling with an air cooler is great case air flow. My 5675 at 4.4Ghz peaks at 60c in IBT with a D15 in a modified-for-airflow haf xb. The temp at the cooler intake is 1-2 degrees above ambient (20c) at load. In many cases the intake temp can be 10 degrees above ambient due to restricted intake and convoluted air paths.
A custom water loop can realize great temps with low noise, but the cost/benefit ratio isn't too good. Want to spend another $500+?
If you want to stay under $50, the $47.95 Scythe Ninja 4 and $39.95 Thermalright TS 140a are the best value choices. Ninja 4 review here.
I was all set to go to a CLC setup for a dual E5 2011 processor motherboard until I read this.
I was thinking they would be much quieter and provide better cooling than air cooling.
I like the idea of the Phanteks PH-TC14PE but they are huge no way I could fit two of those on a Asus Z9PE-D8 and in a tower case with a vertically mounted motherboard they must be heavy thus a pair of them would cause a great deal of stress.
I guess I better start researching top air cpu air cooling setups.
I know it!! I am all freaked out to even mount one of those on my cpu. I am afraid its going to crush something and I will end up with a cracked cpu or bent socket pins.I gotta do something though.

The Asus X79 Deluxe and the Sabertooth X79 are very similar, and should overclock slightly better than other X79 boards. Check out the video below where he takes the 12 core Xeon E5 2697v2 to 4GHz via 113bclk.

I rigged up a guy wire system after I glued a copper boss I made for it with music wire and a couple retainers I also made on the HTPC I put together awhile back, I guess just because I still wanted to use the TRUE Copper, with the P6T7 V2 ans a X5650. That and added moved a few fans. It used to be in the main.
That old ah heck weighs about 6lbs I think, you can always find ways to stabilize things a bit if you're not just moving them around.
I just wasn't in the mood to retire the thing I guess Used a few things laying around. I still use a D14 on the main.
I guess I have still been leery of even trying a AIO water cooler when you can get similar results off of air, short of a dedicated loop.
Why not?
Multi core enhancement just doesn't work. You can't force it to run 3.1g on 8 cores
