Do you game? If so how did you find the move from 3950x to 3960x? I'm looking to buy one of these (finally moving away from X58), and am seriously considering the 3960x as I also do a lot of compiling and the TRX40 looks more future-proof, but I also want something that performs well for 144Hz...

Coming from the G5 and then the G400, I find the G403 too narrow towards the middle and rear. I've realised that I use a fingertip grip but with the edge of my palm (below my little finger) for more control, and the G403 is too narrow for my palm edge to make contact whilst I'm moving or...

200 blck doesn't mean anything, don't aim for blck, aim for frequency. Let your CPU scale the frequency from x12 - x24 using it's power-saving features (so it's not hot all the time and is quieter when idle), rather than locking at a certain multiplier. 175 Blck will give you the 2100MHz ->...

I replied to your PM before I saw this post, so I'll post my PM reply here too for completeness: I stabilised my X5670 at 4.2GHz, only because I wanted to keep my case fans as quiet as possible and didn't want to have to increase them. It was a fairly easy overclock and I could have easily hit...

Yeah they must do, it definitely seems like it's based on frequency rather than multiplier, which makes my life easier :)

Wait, the offset th Thanks for the help! After some testing, I found that setting "Normal" with BCLK 175 produced the same voltage as Auto with BCLK 133 for the same frequency when C-states and EIST were on i.e. BCLK 133: 133 x 12 = 1596MHz, 0.912v - 0.928v 133 x 15 = 1995MHz, 0.944v - 0.960v...

Hmm so I guess I will also have to take in to account Vdrop and incorrect error reporting by software when doing this? Also, what would be the benefit of the first reading (setting BCLK to stock and then stressing the CPU)? Shouldn't I be getting the lowest voltage by setting the desired BCLK...

I'm finally overclocking my X5670 and have found a stable Vcore at 4.2GHz (1.29375V). I now want to use dynamic voltage, however my X58A-UD3R requires setting the Vcore to "Normal" before I can set the offset. My question is, what is the voltage that "Normal" will set? I need to know this before...

Thanks, that's exactly the case I was thinking of! I have an R3 for my server and it's such an excellent case.

I was going to upgrade the case when I did a full system rebuild (probably when Skylake-e comes). I'll give a non-blower card a go and if everything is too warm I'll upgrade the case now rather than later. Thanks!

Yeah they would end up crashing the system, and the top card normally reaches the low 90s. It may be that there isn't enough space between the cards with my motherboard, but I'm still wondering if an open air 980 Ti would be a bad idea in a P182? I wouldn't want to buy an aftermarket cooler as...

I'm looking to replace my current 2 GTX 670 cards with a 980 Ti. The SLI cards were a stupid decision as even though they are blowers, they generate so much heat that I need to keep my side case off (probably partly due to having no space between the slots lol), and I don't want to make a...

Excellent, thanks for the responses guys. I want to shy away from expanding my current 3x2GB kit and using 6 sticks so I'll buy 3x8GB and will report back on how it goes when I set everything up.

Does anybody have any experience with 3x8GB Kingston HyperX FURY RAM with the X58A-UD3R? http://www.amazon.co.uk/HyperX-FURY-1866MHz-Memory-Module/dp/B00J8E91UO/ref=sr_1_11?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1439240537&sr=1-11&keywords=HyperX I'm wondering if the board will hold up if overclocking a...

Would you say multiple-slot AIOs are a better comparison against air cooling in general, and single-slot aren't worth considering?
