Your post is messed up. But I'll say this. Run Prime95 version 26.6 and choose the small fft option. With liquid cooling the test should be run for at least 1/2 hour. If temps are @75°C or lower, you are good. If the cpu temp goes above 75°C, shut down the test, it's too much.

Ok so i fixed my post i saw that also i have another quwstion so, i was gonna spend roughly 200 this friday on either the i7 3770k upgrade or the. Asus MAXIMUS V GENE which would be the best too upgrade too, please let me know i am STRICKLY a gamer, multimedia user, constant programs up. So ya i like the mob alot tho

That's rough. I have an i7-3770K and an i5-3570k and for many things the i7 is just a whole lot better, so that would be a really good upgrade. However, I also have an Asus p8z77-v LE and it's wimpy. Does the job with the i5, but much prefer the ability of my MSI Mpower Z77 (pretty much the same as the Gene).

The i5-2500k will work directly on the Gene, but the i7-3770K will need the latest bios on your p8p67 as it's a move from Sandy-Bridge to Ivy-Bridge. You'd get the most immediate use from the 3770k on your existing board as long as the OC was mediocre, you'll not be able to keep a good high OC stable though, the board isn't made for it. You'll not be able to really open up that i7 until you get the Gene.

Karadjgne, thank you I made up my mind I am gonna get the i7 out 3770k @ a later date & keep my NOTORIOUS I5 2500k for my gaming for now & work with the Asus maximums G Gene so it will be healthy upgrade then yes? I really hope so bc my mono is wimpy af also but HAS BEEN A GREAT BOARD NONE THE LESS But yea man I play My VR Aka Oculus Rift & the m9bo I have currently which is tha Asus P8P67 Le B3 revision of the the model types. But with that being said THE bandwidth on the back i/o has ONLY 2x 3.0 ports & none in the front of the m9bo except for 4x 2.0 ish ports & then 6gb data connector it's a high profile BOARD has been great too me for my pc needs & roughly is as of the same price as the Asus Maximus V Gene(REFURBISHED) WHICH is Estimated around $200.00-$180.00 USD. Once I sell.my old movo too my pc connections I will have really only paid roughly $85.00 USD for The ASUS Maximus V Gene, which in my opinion is a STUPID GREEEEEAT DEAL,& in my eyes you have too be memtally unstable not TOO SEE THE VALUE IN THIS UPGRADE Performance wise, & as well as the money saving aspects!!!! Please throw me some more feedback Kara. That was my ex gf's name btw lol fun faxts.
