Yes, I can't wait to try it on the Asus board, where it hopefully doesnt throttle down to 200x7 under load. At 5,200 MHz it seems to lock up at room temps on any voltage. Might be also board related - I will find out shortly

You need some better memory!
My memory is doing fine as long as I didnt even bothher to find its limits. So I am still hoping to hit crazy speeds with it. Until I prove me wrong, there I will stick with it

Well, I have been using water cooling for as long as I can remember (so > 2 weeks ^^, kidding, for over 10 years), but I have been very lazy to setup everything for my current rig, which has been sitting on its MB packaging on my desk for over 1.5 years by now and I already moved with it 3 times So I gave the NZXT Kraken X60 a shot replacing the boxed AMD cooler and even with my water cooling background and my passion of noiseless PCs, I was quite impressed with it. Cooling performance is great, but that is no surprise with it having 39.2k mm? surface area just for the CPU (a traditional 360 radiator has 43.2k, so just slightly more). The fans it comes with are quite universal having a broad RPM range. At Silent settings, they could be a little more quiet for my taste (which is I dont want to hear it running at all), but the can be replaced with any other fans of your liking. They are not mounted with special, unremovable parts. The unit reads liquid temperature and has the ability to set your own RPM graph depending on the temperature. I didnt check what temps I had when encoding 65GB Fraps recordings, but for Cinebench it maxed at 39C according to ASRock eXtreme Tuner.
