well spent a few bob and got myself an i7! waitin on it gettin delivered today the mobo ram and cpu should be here b4 1 and the coolers one of those scan deliveries where u have to wait in all day and i have to nip out the house for like 45 mins later in the afternoon :( hope i dont miss it

i7 920 D0

Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R

Corsair XMS3 1600

Noctua NH-d14

so i should have a little fun today!
 
Giga have just brought out a new UD3 (V2) with more power phases. Dont push it mega hard for too long as they have a tendancy to die......
 
i didnt buy it new mate and i aint going for a huge oc just want a good clock so i can get good points on it for folding and to give me more pci-e's
 
4 would be the ideal speed id want and that would get me pretty good points and thats how i bought an nh-d14 so i would have a better chance since its a bad ass cooler
 
well thats the mobo cpu and ram arrived just need to wait and see if scan get my cooler delivered so i can start a rebuild, i was just thinkin i have a raid set up going on this current pc and i know they arent game for going to a different controller but what i was thinkin about doing was makin a win 7 restore disc then installing the drives and settin the new raid up and then using the restore disc to get my windows back to this instead of all the faff of installin everything again?
 
it would work tho?

if it does ill give it a try like that as its a lot of faffin about installin all my games again is bad enuff never mind gettin all my clients up and running again
 
fresh installs are far better mate,they create less problems

also scan are quite good at shipping fella,altho i have just noticed ur in scotland

congrats on the hardware
 
yeah and im back now from having to nip out so i was only out like 15 mins but that was enuff to have missed him gonna get on with this build soon just having a peep at that noctua holy **** huge isnt the word!!
 
booo its a shame DAM them heatsinks being so high

good look with the build fella,i hope you see a inprovment performance wise
 
He has the standard 1600 XMS3 if i remember rightly tom.

Dont the doms fit if you un screw the little fin bits on top (iirc you can remove JUST them with like 2 screws)
