4Ghz minimum. Aim for 4.4Ghz if using stock cooler.
I ordered one of these just to be sure:

If you raise voltages and have RAM that can go past ~1700 MHz I'd say you could hit 5GHz+.
Corsair 4GB (2x2048MB) 1600MHz XMS3
I got the RAM that everyone else is seeming to have. So it seems not.
I got my Mushkin 4GB 1333MHz since it was on sale on Aria with a tenner off. Hopefully that won't limit the performance of my 2500k too much :/.

The lack of an extra few hundred MHz, I mean.

It will, actually.
Was gonna get 2 4GB sticks of DDR3 but aria's prices sucked on 1600mhz

Oh yeah ordering my [url=https://www.aria.co.uk/WishList/LUyUuJtYkqHklTaBBRiC0w,,]build[/url] tomorrow as to buy it without VAT I have to phone their offices :(
Ah, lovely. Apparently my asus mobo doesn't have the problems that everyone is going on about. It does however have it's own unique problems all of its own :D
Well, not really the motherboard, just all of the software and drivers :/
Ai suite crashes as soon as it loads, whatever ec simulator is crashes as well, and so does the fan program it comes with, fan xpert i think.
Can't uninstall/reinstall any of them either, any ideas?
First response was can you update your bios (Not sure of the EFI side of things) derp
Did you reinstall windows when you did the upgrade?

I've had a crack at it, but couldn't get it to work :( I'll have another go now with a different tool.
Yea it was a completely fresh install :)
edit:
SUCCESS, got the new beta bios loaded. Everything works now.
Oh wow, apparently i can overclock from my phone! Why anyone would ever need need this is beyond me.
It'd be good if places in Australia would actually have i5 2500K's in stock. It looks like nobody is getting them until the end of the month.

I just got my self one of those too, you can attach a second fan to the other side too which lowers the temp another 2-5c for me.
I got my shit today, spent two hours building it, then realized that I don't have a SATA disk drive so I have to spend 20 bucks tomorrow to get one so I can install Windows 7. No SB tonight, and not till 6 tomorrow, and I have to be out of town all day Saturday.

USB stick?
[url]http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/installing-windows-7-on-a-netbook[/url]
I am currently scouring the house for one, I've found 4 2GB ones, but no 4GB+ ones. Unless I CAN use a 2GB one, then I'm fucked for now.
Well that sucks

Can you take one out of another computer for the time being?
I found a MicroSD==>USB adapter, and I took the 4GB MicroSD card out of my phone and I'm using that.
Tonight, our Windows will blot out the sun.
well I'm glad that worked out for you
Wait what? You don't have a hard drive at all? I don't really understand this.

Huh?
I don't have a CD-Drive because I forgot to buy one, and I need to reinstall 7 (obviously) so I needed to get a USB drive to install from.
OOOH Sata DISK drive.
Yeah.
:v:
hell yeah

2500k
Asus p8p67 pro
Corsair h50
8gb Corsair XMS3 1600
Corsair 750w psu
Corsair 600t
MSI Hd 6870
I'm a sucker for corsair.
any overclocking done?
Corsair is fucking awesome, you should be a sucker for them.
I would have gotten an H70 but I didn't think that 1156 and 1155 had the same fan points.
[QUOTE=Macktastic;27402738]any overclocking done?[/QUOTE]
Not yet, I'll give it a shot tomorrow.

I didn't know either, but apparently all 1156 heatsinks are compatible with 1155
