I'd buy a 1600kit. 6gb or 8gb depending on what you use, Either way seems like Sandybridge memory benches absoulately kick butt!!

OCM :up:

OCM :up:
hey F6A has been up for a while, but F5 is more solid and just was released yesterday if anyone wants to know.
Thoughts on ram anyone? Aiming for 4-4.5Ghz 24/7
$163 - F3-12800CL7D-8GBRH - 7-8-7-24
$158 - CMZ8GX3M2A1600C8 - 8-8-8-24
$163 - CMP8GX3M2A1600C9 - 9-9-9-24
Leaning towards the GSkill at this point only because of the timings.
Prices are in $CAD
I woudl go g.skill. Timings make a nice difference on these systems plus alows you to push 1866.
Go with G.Skill, they have great bang/buck offers! :up:
Thanks guys ... will go for F3-12800CL7D-8GBRH
@sin0822, This board was my first pic for P67, but looking at the layout, the top pcie x1 slot is useless for my sound card. If I use the bottom pcie slot for the sound card, and run sli/cf, both gpu's wont run at x16, or am I wrong on this? I like the new look and have always been happy with gigabyte boards. But to go along with the new look, a new/better layout would have been nice.
yes crossfire and pci express sound card are a problem, wish they would sort the spacing out !
Do motherboards have to have anything special about them to boot from the pci-e slot? Will these and other P67 boards boot off a pci-e ssd?
I wish nah my cousin is also doing an upgrade as well mid feb and is set on pci-e ssd. I would be lucky to squeeze a 64gb 2.5 ssd out of my budget let alone a $1000+ pci-e monster:ROTF:
lol true, When the g3 eventually comes out im sure prices will drop, I've seen quite a few 2nd hand ssds selling on several forums :) .. G3 + SB wonder how it will scale :D
Well, I'm quite happy with what UPS unexpectedly dropped off today...

A box.

With awesome inside. :D
This will go nicely with the 2600K I managed to pick up on Boxing Day as mentioned here: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...9&postcount=61
Now I just need to pick up my case from FedEx, order the watercooling gear for it, and I'll have a kickass system.
In the meantime, I suppose I could throw it all into a Sonata III I have lying around and take it for a spin.
