- mobo will be the P67 UD7

- all will be water-cooled (cpu only)

- gpu will be gainward phantom gtx 570

- PSU will be corsair ax850w

- ram will be 8gb dominator gt's with the blue fins they look shexshi

Mate Z68 UD7 has already been spotted on shop shelves in Taiwan, if you haven't bought a new mobo yet hold out for a bit for that one to come available in your country.

In what way will it be better than P67 I havent bought it yet

Don't know the full details yet, but what is currently known is it's a combination of H67 and P67, best of both worlds (overclocking and on board graphics is what we're certain of at the moment).

However that's not the only reason you should get one that's currently known. Gigabyte is no longer going to be looking in to P67, but rather put more in to Z68, read here. Therefore there will be more long term support on the Z68 chipset (BIOS updates etc.).

You can read about the Z68 UD7 here as well if you want to look at all the info which I'm sure you will.

Thanks for the info dude will defo have a look at this!!!

had a quick read, its defo worth waiting for which is probs what im going to do but looking at what these websites are saying and the pictures it seems that the Z68 ud7 doesnt have a display output which sort of defeats its purposes does it not??? :s

Which is what makes me think there's more to Z68 than we know, it couldn't warrant another UD7 class board otherwise.

"overclocked the 4 stickes at 2133 at 10-10-10-26" O o my good god you are some kinda god xD wanna teach me how to get an overclock like that?

 

[Firat]

Lol not so hard, just set the ram at 2133mhz then played around with the latency timings till I got a stable system, memtest helps alot when stressing the ram and making sure the ram is stable

I really want to get a Colossus but at the same time for mine I kinda wanto the Raven DX mind helping me out

 

[Firat]

Ofcourse I'll help

hmm I think raven 02

Because you are air cooling and tbh the collOssus isn't the best for air cooling

so stick with that raven it's sed to be the best air-cooling chassis....

Other then that everything else seems perfect, so good luck, if yOu need anymore help were all here 4 you

Have fun with your super build xD

Thats the thing DX I mean it is one of the better looking performance cases but it is still kinda bland for me and to top that off I want to switch to watercooling in the future so I am kinda stuck :T but who knows, I may just take this thing to my High Schools metal trades class and we use this to make a freaken Lamborghini be put to shame XD

Sick window, man!

Lol all can be achieved if desired

Hmmm why don't you go for the Haf X? It's good for air-cooling but it also supports watercooling.....

That may actually be the best option for you, plus it's an amazing case

Go 4 that case
