i7's run pretty hot when overclocked compared to the core2 wolfdales, i'd definately reccomend getting water if you intend to get a really good overclock out of one.

sigh liquid..................................................... if u get liquid cooling u have to get a good one not some Sh*t one that will blow up... aka a bigwater.... goodones at like >$500

I can get a very good one from getting all the parts seperately instead of a kit to cool a core i7 for ~£200 and that was a very quick look, could probably knock the price down a bit more with more time.

I'm afraid i can't say how much that is in $ (at a guess US$350) - it'll probably be less tbh.

One thing i do agree on - don't get a pre-built wc kit - putting one together out of seperate components is a LOT cheaper and will work better (and not fail after 6 months).

ill look at liquid cooling through a friend of mine hes a beer tech see previous wookz theads monitor will do will get better one when give dis one yo daughter for her laptop as mon in room

 

[Play3r]

Im talking about AUD$ which = 500

 

[WOOKZ]

my choice is to start another disscuss best x58 board asus or gigabyte

 

[BarbaricSoul]

neither, I believe DFI are currently making the best x58 boards

 

[WOOKZ]

Mr B WHAT MAKES U SAY SUCH THINGS TELL me more:

 

[BarbaricSoul]

The main thing is that out of all the x58 boards, the DFI Lanparty board hold the world record overclock for the I7 cpus. The ASUS boards I heard have a problem, but I'm not exactly sure what that problem is. Gigabyte makes good boards, but I put the DFI board above the Gigabyte because of the OC record.

Personally, if it's available to you, I recommend getting a EVGA board. The main reason is no other company can beat EVGA's customer service and warranty

 

[WOOKZ]

ITS A BYERS MARKET evga boards are about 6oo aus ish maybee if you can tell me why they stand above all others e would entertain cash outlay

 

[BarbaricSoul]

like I already said

The main reason is no other company can beat EVGA's customer service and warranty

supermicro?????????????? know anything

 

[BarbaricSoul]

I know absolutely nothing about supermicro as until yesterday, I had never heard of them. The only reason I even know the name is because I happened across one helping someone else out with a build yesterday.
