Hum shame mate I used the Intel LC and it has been fine you could use one of the better air coolers because the stock is not in my mind up to the job.

Noctua have a good choice myself I use the Arctic Freezer 13 inmy Sandy Bidge and tester and it is good although fairly large.

The GPU just use Speccy it will bring up details for the NVidia for you I have only got a simple one in mine but you can see what I mean in pic

Speccy - Download from piriform

hey bud i use speccy it give me the information but just odd how mine says Nvidia gtx 680 and nothing else, i am thinking about a third party air cooler but have to be careful which one i use has I have high profile ram.

My ASUS P9X79 WS defaults to 1333 but can be set up to 1600 without overclocking.

Talking about new hardware taking a dump...I just picked up my new card reader from my mail service today and I can't get the stupid thing to work. The USB 3.0 ports work but the card reader won't read cards. Heck, the computer doesn't even see it. I have an inquiry in to the mfg. but, if I don't get this thing working by tomorrow evening, I'm getting a RMA from NewEgg and shipping it back.

Yep Adam That Arctic is a fairly large unit as is the Deepcool Ganer Storm Assassin DEEPCOOL - GAMER STORM - ASSASSIN - Design I was going to go that but it overhung the slots so why I went LC.
one that is quite popular is this and it is very quiet too Noctua.at - sound-optimised premium components "Designed in Austria"!

To see the GPU see my pic

I don't know how much you use them, but I don't use them to often so I got one of these and it works perfect every time and is quite handy.

What make/model is it? Did you download the drivers for it? Out of all the components in my rig, that dang card reader was the biggest PITA to find the correct drivers for.

The mfg's website said no drivers are needed other than the icon program; supposedly, the native Win 7 drivers will work. My machine said it installed something when I first plugged it in.

That's similar to what I used on my old XP rig. I got spoiled by my netbooks and my notebook. Keeping track of the external reader was a PITA. I do take a lot of pictures.

Lady Fitzgerald, can you open up device manager and locate this card reader and see if there are any warnings?

Tried that and couldn't find it. If it's there, it's under some oddball name.

From the manufacturers website:

In Device Manager, the drivers will be installed in “Disk Drives” and “Universal Serial Bus Controllers” or “Portable Drives”.

Sorry thought I was thinking you needed a card reader as you said you had one sent in the mail and it didn't work??

Perhaps I shouldn't have said anything?
