My idle temps are already lower than 60c. OC'd at easy 4.2 GHz I'm sitting at 60-63c. As I stated earlier:

I'm looking to get the best performance I can at around $100. You've linked two different air coolers. Are you telling me that either of those fans will outperform the H80? Or any other liquid cooler in that price range?

I had a nice air cooler by Ultra; however, it isn't compatible with my new board. I'm running easily at 4.2 GHz right now with the stock cooler that came with my CPU. I am at, on average, around 60c. I'd like to be around 50c or less. edit: Just looking at the H80 I can tell you that it will...

I'm looking for a sealed liquid CPU cooler for this case: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2151752 I've got an i5-3570K, so I'll need something that will fit LGA 1155 socket. Here's the board, although you probably don't need this info...

Just wanted to say that I got my new motherboard, cpu, and ram installed today. Put Rift on Medium settings and am running at almost 50 FPS now. That's a huge increase.

Will probably still go with the 2500k CPU. From what I can tell, the 2500k can be OC'd better; which will be nice for gaming (if I'll even need too). Plus, it comes with the 4GB DDR3. Unless better choices are given here soon. edit: Amended my previous message, and possibly my decsion of...

Where do you see the 2x4GB or RAM at on that newegg deal? Found it. Didn't realize it was listed on the motherboards page, and not the combo page. In relation to that, I chatted with newegg customer service just to make sure that the 8GB of RAM was included in the combo. It was. So, from what...

I'm looking into getting this one: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=5552085&Sku=M69-7008 It's on sale for a few more days.

I'm thinking about ordering this combo within the next day or so: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=5552085&Sku=M69-7008 I mainly just want to play Rift without the CPU bottleneck. Apparently the engine that Rift is build on does not optimize well with...

I've been planning to do a fresh install soon anyway. If/when I get a new motherboard & processor I'll do the fresh install then. I'm hoping to find some good deals this Black Friday/Cyber Monday.

To put things further into perspective: I can play Rift on my laptop on Low/Medium settings without too much lag. At the moment I'm getting around 30 FPS running around in a major city. I was playing on my desktop earlier (which has a more powerful CPU & GPU) and only getting about 10-15 FPS. I...

Unbearable when fps drops to 20.... LOL. I would pay to have a constant 20 fps. When I say low FPS, I'm talking about under 10. I don't think anyone has actually understood what my problem is. My hardware should be more than able to play Rift on the high settings (Rift goes up to Ultra). I've...

I'm not ONLY playing Runescape, but I used that as an example since I get low fps on it as well; at least in full screen mode. The main game I'm concerned with is Rift. According to a few website that list game requirements I should be able to play Rift with fairly high settings. I think the...
