Hey, don't knock it until you've tried it, I dated women of my age, and I got tired of immature whiney shenanigans rather quickly.

As I said I enjoy kids, but I also enjoy them much better when their not mine, and when I tire of them I cna give them back (usually jacked up on caffiene and sugar).

The heat sink is actually quite nice and does an effective job at keeping the thing cool the top switch is a Q and P switch for quiet and performance if you dont have pwm control

it usualy idles at 30c on all 6 cores with the fan at 900rpm and gets to about 55 - 60c under full linpack load.

and yes it is 12gb got 3 kits of the stuff on sale $44 a pop


EDIT: heres a SS

Nice looking rig and temps!!!

I hope to get my i7 970 this week
I have the Sabertooth motherboard and love it. Able to get 4.4GHz stable with my 920.
However I am going to place the 970 on the Rampage III Extreme to see what I can do with it (OC)...

Yeah my 970 runs a 160blk with just 1.32V. 4.0Ghz with 12 threads is just fun

Need to upgrade to a pair of 570's with water blocks.
