Great, Doug. That means we get some pictures too? Good job.

Cos his rig will look so different with a new CPU in eh Steve :roflmao:

 

[essenbe]

Yep! and it will be faster too.

 

[Dude]

I will take a pic probably of the box since it will be hidden under the cooler

That's all you can do Doug, it's an awesome upgrade but not a visual one in any way.

 

[kbrady1979]

Then you can overclock it and get all the jiggahertz!

 

[paulpicks21]

I expect a 5.5GHz run by the end of the night Doug lol.

But seriously, take your time with it, you know the risks and don't go stupid with it just to get a good score on here, I am stupid and I am trying to find a reason to change my CPU, right now the only reason I can see is if I blow my one up lol.
I won't be pushing for any higher now though....Unless someone knocks me off the top spot.

 

[Dude]

I will showw restraint will probably just go 4.2 for now

4.2 will be a breeze Doug, as you properly know I have been running my 3770k at 4.6GHz as a daily OC ever since I got it.

I expect by the end of the week you will be at 4.5 and will be happy there with the temps and voltage.

 

[kbrady1979]

The new batches of 3570/3770K's are much better than the earlier ones.....4.4/4.5GHz 24/7 would be absolutely no problem.

I was just checking the date I got my 3770k, it was 21 Nov 12.
I also checked the date I got the old Antec 1100, that was March last year so it needs changing soon :sarc:

 

[kbrady1979]

I got pretty much everything in this rig the end of May of 2012. Still runnin' like a champ!

 

[paulpicks21]

I know this is off topic, but I started the thread so who cares lol, but I just went through all my orders from 2012 to date, I am gonna attach a shot of each one. It is pretty scary how much stuff I have bought. The prices in most of the shots were before VAT was added so they cost more

 

[paulpicks21]

Nearly forgot my HD 7970, that was £344 including VAT, I just added it to the last post.

 

[kbrady1979]

Holy crap Paul! I know you've sold some of that when you upgraded but still lol. I haven't bought anything after the original build except for a 2TB hard drive and 3x4TB hard drives. Hopefully I won't have to buy much else until I am ready for a new build.

Lol, looking through that list I have sold 3 items off it, the GTX 560ti, the 660ti, and the Asrock Extreme 4.

The good news is I have not bought anything for 2.5 months lol.

But I think a new case will be on it's way next week.

 

[kbrady1979]

If I were to buy a case today, it would be the Fractal Design Arc Midi R2........that is as close to perfect as I've seen for a case.

 

[paulpicks21]

Looks like it has a proper side window anyway which is always a good thing. It looks a little too plain for me though, I was kind of steering towards the Switch 810 in white.

 

[paulpicks21]

And for anyone worried about this going off topic, normal service will be resumed as soon as someone posts a new OC

I prefer something plain like that.....but if you want fancy, many are going with the Switch line of cases now. I'm just a simple kind of man I suppose lol

I think the switch is in between plain and fancy, it's not over the top, but looks good.

The Fractal is nice, it's obviously a mid tower compared to the full tower switch, I just fancy something with lots of room, I don't need to get into water cooling but it seems I have run out of things to do right now and PC's are my hobby so it would be nice to have options for some good custom stuff.

Edit: as you know the Antec 1100 is awful for any kind of water cooling other than single rad stuff.
