I went from a C2D to a 2700K, life is bliss.
Why buy a 2700k unless you're water cooling?
[QUOTE=David Tennant;34083665]Why buy a 2700k unless you're water cooling?[/QUOTE] I'm getting there, right now I got it at 4.3 with air.
Sounds like you should have gotten a 2600k, 2700ks are just higher binned 2600ks and temperature will throttle the overclock long before the chip being less than perfect will without liquid being involved. Unless you definitely planned to go water soon in which case good luck.
Well he already bought it so there isn't much need to tell him what he should have bought.

[QUOTE=Odellus;34081351]it really isn't, and I'm being seriously bottlenecked by it I drop to around 90 FPS in L4D at 1080p with everything on minimum settings (for visibility reasons) which is unacceptable considering I have a 120 Hz monitor if I try to max the game with this setup it dips into the 50s which is absolutely awful when you're used to such high framerates, the Q9400 I have is even overclocked to 3.6 GHz getting 25-30 FPS average with nearly everything set to fairly low in GTA IV is completely retarded for how expensive everything I have is, bad thing is I don't get the final piece of my Christmas gift (the 2500k) for probably a week or even longer from now[/QUOTE] What's your graphics card? No way you should be dropping as low as 50 with that CPU.

Why do you fuckheads put ricer lights in your PC, clean black metal ATX case looks a thousand times better then your ricer shit.

[QUOTE=ripple3000;34085894]How sad, thats actually a nice case and they ruin it by painting it fake silver and putting blue LED's in it.[/QUOTE] If it's like my previous case it's brushed aluminum, not silver paint. And the front fans will be getting thrown out anyway to make room for my H50s fan.
Brushed Al is great. It collects dirt though, within the grooves, without you even realising. Seriously if you have a silver brushed Al case and you haven't cleaned it for ages, clean it [i]with[/i] the grain of the brushing and you will be blown away.

i wish they made more sandblasted aluminum cases like whats on ipads and macbooks
I'm waiting for Ivy. Main reason is I'm starting school again and last thing I need is a powerful new computer for distraction. I may just get a HDTV instead. And Ivy is supposed to be priced around the same as SB, maybe a bit higher but shouldn't be to much I hope.

People keep saying I'm stupid for upgrading to SB-E and not ivy bridge. HELLLOOOOOOO! IVYBRIDGE STILL WONT HAVE MORE THAN 4 CORES. VIDEO RENDERING/EDITING WITH 6 CORES > than 4. Oh yeah 8GB dimms are also uberexpensive, SB-E allows me to run 8 dimms of 4GB at DDR3-2133 or higher . But yeah, if you're considering SB currently, you should just wait for IVYB

It might be good, I can't say, but I have to say it is horribly ugly.
