Thanks! Not really looking to hit a gold mine, just looking to get rid of some stuff I have no use for anymore. If it doesn't sell on here I'll probably put it on ebay individually.

For Sale: 1x Aqua Computer Aquatube 1x Aqua Computer Airplex Evo Radiator 1x Eheim 1048 Pump $50 for everything *includes shipping* Basically I'm just looking to get rid of this stuff. I used to be really into watercooling a long time ago, but now I have no use for it. I was cleaning my...

Did you see the screenshot for Infinity blade: Dungeons running at 2048x1536? It obviously can't compete with any modern GPU, but it blows integrated graphics out of the water.

Ahhh.... I think you're dead wrong about people not caring about that new screen. HD+ resolutions are nothing new, but HD+ resolutions on a screen that size is BRAND new, and kind of incredible. The difference between screens in my iPhone 3GS and my iPhone 4S is night and day. The text is...

You really can't beat Intel when it comes to reliability. Their products are simply rock solid. The first SSD I ever owned was an 80GB X-25M G2. Lightening fast and zero problems. I just bought a Crucial M4 256GB, but if it wasn't for that I'd jump on this deal in a heartbeat.

Yeah 4.5 seems like a really good sweet spot for this chip. I could run it a little higher, but there won't be any real world difference and i'd rather keep the chip a little cooler.

I managed to push the chip up to 4.8GHZ at 1.25V (actual VCore was 1.424). Did an IBT and it hit 90C. Was stable, but no way I'm running the chip that hot. Turned it to 4.5GHZ and temps were under 80C for all my benchmarks. Changed LoadLine Calibration to medium so it only overvolts to...

I must have gotten a really good chip. I reduced the voltage a bit, and @ 1.24V I'm running my i5 at 4.7GHZ. Temp is 66C after Prime95 stress testing. Solid as a rock. Kind of scared to do Intel Burn Test lol. I'm going to see if I can push it a little higher on that voltage. Another...

Should I aim for below 80C running Prime 95/IBT, or below 80C with actual usage?

An update on this for anyone who is curious. I contacted Thermalright and they told me it might be a faulty motherboard. I decided to RMA it and that fixed every single issue I had. (I'm also using thin paper washers instead of the rubber/plastic). Works like a charm now.

Running an i5 2500K with an Asus P8Z68V-Pro/Gen 3 motherboard cooled with a Thermalright Ultra 120 heatsink attached to a 120mm fan. Right now I have the CPU at 4GHZ @ 1.24V. Prime95 stress testing hovers around 48C and Intel Burn test hovers around 55C. I played around last night and I...

I tested it outside the case so the airflow should have been fine, and even if the mobo temp was a little high that's no reason for the system not to post. I think the heatsink might have bent the mobo somewhat.

Possibly. There are some plastic washers used to connect the back plate to the mobo (I lost one and I'm using a rubber washer), so as long as rubber and plastic don't conduct electricity I should be fine. The first time I installed it I forgot to put the plastic washers on, but I went back...

I have an old Thermalright Ultra 120 CPU cooler. I recently bought an Asus P8Z68V-Pro Gen3 motherboard with an Intel i5 2500K CPU. The Thermalright 120 came with monunting brackets for a LGA775 socket, so I bought the following kit to attach it to my new motherboard...

yeah i meant 2500K i won't be doing SLi or CrossFire, but I'd like to OC the processor to at least 4.3GHZ
