Lestat ... you should not make judgements so quickly. The new CoolerMaster eclipse is pretty good even against high-end watercooling ... air is definitely reaching a point where it can go on par with internal watercooling.

no its really not scythe... but anyway eagerly awaiting the next bios since I'm sort of stuck with my RAM at poor speeds atm :S
No key or mouse press will turn this thing on. I've tried enabling both keyboard and mouse usb support to no avail. It doesn't work for me. Does anyone use this feature succesfully on DS3?
Also, a buddy of mine's got no crackling w/ an X-Fi Fatal and BF2142. I've got the Xtrememusic. If it's XRAM, I'm gonna feel like a tard. :D
Crackling and popping has nothing to do with motherboard, its a bios settings on PCI latency issue that has plagued Creative cards for a long time. Its mostly prevalent on Nforce mobos, but more recently any chipset. I had it on my other motherboard, i fixed it completely just by changing PCI latency.
Are you an idiot? =) There's no way air can beat watercooling... Your "on par" is 15-20ºC away? :slapass:Quote:

the Scythe infinity is one of the few killer hsf's. and i mean when you actually mount a fan on it, not just using passive.
you wanna run 1.67v on air be my guest but your temps are astronimical. end of story,, you can claim all you want this and that but i know for a fact that at 1.67v on air or water, its suicide.
christ, @ 1.57v my cpu gets so hot i wont do it. only quick runs into windows.
you can not get around the truth, and that is 1.67v #1 will kill your cpu. #2 produces so much wattage on these cpu's that heat is insane. i n s a n e.
i guarentee that your load temps were into the 80's and 90's
only way it wasnt was if you have the mobo outside of the case in a VERY cool room, or by a window and its cold outside.
That's why I keep mine @ stock. It'll hit 3600 with a .1V increase, but load temps go 60C-65C instead of 50C for 3300.

Here is the tool Lestat keeps talking about and not giving a link to http://www13.plala.or.jp/setfsb/Quote:

i figured everyone knew about that program
sorry.
i was going to post a link for it but i totally spaced it off.
its the one at the bottom of the list. its for the ga965
should work on DS4 and DQ6 it works fine for the DS3
just be sure your voltages are set high enough to handle the new overclock you will be setting with this program.
Infinity. I have the Mine and I'm probably going to try a Tuniq Tower when they're back in stock. The Mine is a cheap, quiet solution but it's not that great of a cooler.Quote:

hey guys , im just going to add some comments about the cooling on air , I have the Tuniq tower and that thing works great my temps go from 37 up till 44 @ 1.56 full load running at 3.3 (E6600) , I ve try 1.6 but my setup wont go more tahn 3.4 and still keep 44-45 on full load, sooo when Gigabyte "release "the new bios that is suppost to have more Volts option for cpu im going to try more than 1.6 to see where i can go , see u al
And btw where can i download SetFSB965 please , need a link
Wow you lazy man :)Quote:

Yeah I have no idea. I just think it "looks" cooler than most and by that I am refering to its unusual appearance more than anything else.Quote:

So no bios updates then?
its coming rich its coming.
today?!Quote:
