We have tons of job to select the best Intel's Core i7-980X Extreme Edition :D
:D :up:
Always good to have an eager co pilot when searching...good luck with the "F" batch....hope it works for you!!
Love your threads.You bring in the human side that many people forget to do.
Besides, your son is one of the cuter kids I've ever seen.
Nice to watch him slowly grow up.:up:
you wanna give me one of those cpu's :D
Hope you find a gem! On a side note, that's the most robust looking stock intel HSF I've ever seen.
thanks for the nice pics and best of luck to you with the f's!
Interesting batch, such a whiny fan on the cooler on turbo other than that work great
Very cool, post up some results when you OC these :) More data on batch numbers is always cool.
Nidec makes a top end rotor. (look at the Gentle Typhoon!)
I would be a little concerned about the tight fin spacing though. Definitely a dust collector.
Of course no respected overclocker is going to use the stock cooler, right? Right???! :D
someone has way too much spare cash :P
Are there any actual reviews of Intel's Gulftown heatsink? It doesn't look to bad actually :)

:eek:
Lucky you! :D
Yep, whoever said money doesnt buy you happiness was a fibber!!!!
I found the B batch to be better than the F by needing less vcore
Some of the sites reviewed the 980 cooler when they reviewed the 980.
Pretty good as far as stock coolers go but you can do better with the top end after market coolers.
This cooler had good cooling with the fan on high, seems like the fan on high was rather on the loud side if I remember right.
thx ;)
hehehe
:up:
many thx m8
:up:
M8 that cooler is not that bad :D
im uploading a video
980 at 4500MHz -> Wprime 1024 stable :D
:D
i love the new design
:D
for now i think the F is running pretty well,only 1.2v for 4Ghz on stock cooler
a very loud fan noise at full speed
thx Dave,
im am thankful for having a lovely wife and friends like you who supports me all the time :D

I saw your youtube vid also, very good!
Good pics mate :up: Looking forward to your results.
haha what only 2x 980X ? hope your F batches do better than the current F batch results out there :)
Nice you're raising 2 future great overclockers who'll know their stuff :D
Yes the stock cooler is the best Intel has come out with. Just saying! Still no match for the best aftermarket (VX/Mega etc.). Fan is loud but put a 480 in there and you'll never hear it when gaming. ;)
Batch looks good with voltage and speed however it would need a better test for stability. Try running 512MB LinX for 300 minutes. If it's error free that's good! Stock cooler should handle that due to the smaller size. If it stays under 90C on ALL mem for 5 hours that's outstanding. (or you live in a very cold room! ;) )
;)
hi Bart,
today will be a good day ,a bench day :D
the kids are learning fast George,the little one is always with me or Yoko when we are testing or buying something ;)
air stock will be a good challenge
,but not at 4500MHz ,not for LinX,
Vantage maybe ;)
wow rich man toys Haha i love it
sweet cant wait to see hwo you go....4.5 start looking good
your son grew fast and is really a cute little boy...not much longer before he starts to pour LN2 :D :up:
