I5 2500k

My system currently stuffed inside the Lian Li PC-V354 little case, with a total cable management nightmare until m-atx RoG motherboard hit the market and i will do my custom cabling of the PSU. The cpu is cooled with H50 in push/pull with 2xMagma fans, again until I get the RoG motherboard and will be modding the case for 240 rad at the front. I must say i am very impressed with the I5 2500k, i know this is not even close to pushing this chip to its limits but the overclocking took me literally 3 minutes once I figured out how to do it with the Sandy Bridge. Anyway here's the screenshot of the 1h prime run. Comments and your results highly appreciated:).

Looking good

I have a 2500k myself only @ 4.3ghz atm because my CoolIT ECO is to noisy but i'm getting a D14 soon an hope to see 4.6ghz.
 
Post your O.C. once you get D14 SieB please.

I've had few fights (almost:D) on this forum defending H50. There is really not much space inside this case, and regardless what people say...H50 delivered for me again:).

Will do, I F@H near enough 24/7 and my CPU is on load and when the temps get as high as 60c my ECO fans start spinning fast and sound like a 747 so i'm keeping it at 4.3ghz so my temps stay ~55c and the fans don't get to loud. If it was under normal use it wouldn't be to bad because i wouldn't have the fans constantly ringing in my ears.

Mate since you are planning to change your coller it probably doesn't make sence but you could try to just change the fans. I love the Magmas, they are extremely quiet, look great and pump tremendous amount of air.

I would rather just go for the D14 tbh knowing I own the best air cooler there is. I only paid £35 for the ECO anyway and I should make my money back on Ebay easy.

This makes me want a D14 even more, I would be in the mid 60s possibly 70s @4.7 with my ECO. Hopefully I should be getting one next week.
 
Junglerog what you getting in 3d marks etc because you have got the same chip and card as what i am going to get in next few weeks when my compo money comes ouch my neck

ifx was the silver arrow before it became the silver arrow, it has more fins closer together like the true but they dont sell them now.

Frag I am at work at the moment so i dont rememebr exact results for the CPU and GPU.

You will be really happy with this card. I was looking for quiet GPU and this MSI 570 Twin Frozr II totally exceeded my expectations.

CPU runs at 4.5ghz, GPU at 800/1600/1000, just a slight overclock until I mod my PSU cables for more air flow.

I rememeber vantage result 28317.

72k+ for the CPU, no clue what did I get for the GPU.

I will try to edit/add numbers when I get home for the vantage GPU and also for 3d marks 06.

A side question as well for "the insiders", any clue when ASUS might be coming with m-atx RoG motherboard?

EDIT:

Frag I ran these for you again, results as follows:

Posting my overclock for Junglerog like I said I would once I got my D14.

I couldn't get it to boot into Windows any less than 1.36v and then after a running it for a while and several BSOD's later 1.40v is the lowest volts I can use for it to run stable. This is my first time overclocking other than with my old Q6600 and all I had to do with that was set the FSB to 333 and the CPU voltage to 1.25. I haven't had a play with the other settings yet I still need to do some research and see if there is anything I can do to get the volts down and get it stable at a lower voltage.

Temps are fine though, I heard all the good things about the D14 many times but until I got mine today i didn't realize just how good they are, if I had tried getting 4.7 with my CoolIT ECO I would be in the high 70's. The best part about it is the noise, as in there isn't any, my ECO was pretty damn loud I am glad it's gone

Did a Cinebench run as well i'll add 3D mark etc when I get round to it.

Nice stuff mate:).

Considering that D14 is about size of half of my whole rig that is not an option for me:). I am currently perfectly happy with my 4.5mhz with 1.3v perfectly stable and it really stays nice and cool during regular activities (games etc). As soon as I get my hands on RoG Gene MB (Asus hurry up!) and will do my mods for 240 rad I will update m results here:).
