Sweet! u got lucky!
 
whoooooooa is 3842A a new i7 920 batch?
 
Finally joining you guys. I'll be spending some time combing the 62 pages of info. I'll be running an i7 920 with a DFI DK x58, and 3GB Diminators. Even picked up the Dtek Fusion 1366 mounting kit today. Everything should be here by next Thursday.
 
awesome paulieg, we'll be more than glad to help, i've heard amazing things about that DFI x58 board, great choice.
 
I'll be joining y'all soon. Got my 920 and my DFI LP Jr. on the way!

I need performance than lag. So that is why I am going full intel now from AMD. I am going to need alot of help on OC, because n00b OC here for intel, barely got it on amd, and that was with a program.

we'' be here buddy, no worries! :toast:
 
I'm trying to clarify some i7 myths/facts before my new hardware gets here on Wednesday/Thursday. Can someone explain the importance of lower voltage sticks for i7. I know it has something to do with higher voltages destroying the IMC, but I need more info...
 
You might be.... :laugh: Don't worry I have a hang of the DFI bios now. Don't hesitate to ask any questions.

you stop rubbing in my face you got a DFI ok!!! Although I love my EVGA :)

Thanks.:toast:

I will be using a Xigmatech Dark Knight, with a Scythe Slipstream fan and how high will I be able to get it to? And I will have extremely good air cooling, so that won't be a problem.

depends on your temps, these puppies run hot!!!!!! I used to hit 90+ºc on air if I pushed voltage up a bit. Factory cooler however.

You and fit will be hearing for me. My i7 and DFI DK x58 are on the way. I've had several DFI boards, so i'm familiar with the bios...but I know the i7 is a whole new creature.
 
i been in dallas all weekend.....

i should have a whole new setup this week so i'll be ready for some action.

If it stays around 37-50F(1-10c) here in texas for a while then my air cooling setup will be good, because I have a system cooling setup where I will be cooling really good.
 
not home yet. im only about 20mins from castiel and a few others like jc316 and iirc ppmcguire. im also really close to darthbeavis and utnorris from xs. actually.... utnorris lives in lake dallas prolly not far from castiel.

And I live in the Hickory Creek community of Lake Dallas, by the lake.

Patty, you on the Black Ice Xtreme 480 radiator? I have that radiator too! Isn't it a overkill for just a CPU? Lol.
