after a dissapointing run with the corsaair hydro 100 as i had to replace 2 units i decided to go for an air cooling solution but i run into space issue , i am using the 1st pci-e slot as i am installing 3 cards and i am using 16 gb of memory so the b2 and d2 are used.as a result i am remaining with a bit small place to place on of those huge 3 fans cooler , any idea for a good solution will be welcomed.thanks

Well the most user friendly board is the one that has no bios option. Power up and that is all. hehe

You can but if the XMP profile works when selected then why mess with something that is not broken?

I'll have to agree with HiVis, people buy differnt stuff for differnt reasons, myself, i like to buy top of the line, highly overclockable, even tho I only really tinker with OC, I usually run at stock clocks, my passion is tweaking settings, optimizing so that my system runs the best that it can ith what I have. My philoshy is that if I buy hardcore highend parts that can fully withstand hardcore OCing, then under my normal use they will last all that much longer.

My last pc I had for 2 years, AMD 965 BE, semi decent Giga**** mobo, decent OCZ 1600 mhz ram, EVGA gtx 285, OCZ vertex 2 90 GB, it wasnt till about 3 months before I sold it that I got it running to my liking go figure, got it to where I could boot in 12 seconds, still played most games fairly well. Not sure how many times I had to reinstall windows do to user error( messing with stuff I shouldnt have been)


This new pc is about 15 days old, I've reinstalled windows about 1/2 a dozen times, reflashed bios about the same amount of times, rebuilt raid array 3 times, not sure how many times i've rearranged things in my case trying to get better airflow. Tried Windows 8 till i went to install AISuite and it went to restart and got stuck in this rebooting loop with an error message with a frowny face on it :(, reinstall 7 time lol.
