XoticPC

It's way cheaper on XoticPC. I'm thinking of selling my macbook air for this.

1. I don't know. Today was the first day I ran this test. When I got the drive everything was okay. 2. My desk is kind of wobbly so maybe it's due to that. I'll try putting it on the floor.

Is this cause for concern? The drive is about 2 years old...

If I run Arch, and then use a VM to use windows to run tests. If I use software overclocks rather than going into the BIOS, will the overclocks go away once the VM is turned off and I'm back to my normal Arch desktop? Thanks

Would these cause any problems with the stack effect cooling?

I hope to get at least 4.6-5.0ghz on the Max V Gene. These are all great suggestions, and I wish I could go with the phanteks, but my cooler limitation is 167mm :banghead:

After looking at reviews for the Be Quiet Dark Rock Advanced, Zalman CNPS9900MAX, and the Corsair H60/H80, I'm at a loss for what cooler would be most effective for a 2500k. I'm looking for quietest, yet most thermally effective (I know that's a catch, but I'm looking for middle ground)...
