   @LaczupakabraPL dont think the h50 is loud… by the way he cools better than the noctua d14h or something like that i guess….

   @mixmaxdix Go with one of the gigabyte p55 boards and don’t buy the h50… is so laud! H70 or Noctua air cooler is the way to go. Dominator ram… hmmm better buy some ocz or g.skill if you take gigabyte board and first take 4gigs, test it (OC) and than try 8. Good luck

   @LaczupakabraPL i am planning in buying either the i7 860 or the i5 760 and overclock it… The cooler that i´m planning using is a corsair h50.
   Now i would like a good motherboard to go with that would give me a good stable overclock with usb3… it doesnt need to support sli or crossfire…
   What would you recomend?
   thankyou

   by that way : the rest of the specs, cm cosmos 1000, cm silent pro m600, gtx460 768mb, corsair dominator 8 gigs…

   @blak2650

   85c is way to high i suggest you get a watercooler

   30c idle here and max stressed 55c

   also i would check if your cooler is mounted correctly your 85c is way to high

    I have the same mobo and cpu. My RAM is 4GB DDR3 1600 @ 1.65 volts. When i use oc genie i only reach 3.41Ghz . So can i just copy your manual oc settings to get a higher cpu frequency ?

    @LaczupakabraPL How high can you OC it with the gigabyte board?

    December 21, 2010 at 6:17 am

    @olivierhacking you need a special cooler i got a special cooler and put my cpu to 3,5GHZ and it gets 85 degrees (celsius)
15. blak2650 says:

    YOU ONLY HAVE TO Adjust CPU Base Frequency and then check how warm your cpu gets when it reach 100%

    its the same company i think, i got a set o ripjaws running in my rig when u first pop em in they run at 1333 but they can be safely be speed up to 1600 i have a p55m-gd45 there is an option in the bios that will automatically speed that up if u have an i7 i dont think it works well with i5s i cant remember what the option is called though. oddly enough i found out about it after reading about some guy complain that the option over clocked his ram

    @LaczupakabraPL maybe, but i was planning on buying the revoltec freeze tower cpu cooler. is that one good as well? thanks
23. LaczupakabraPL says:

    December 21, 2010 at 5:37 pm

    @KakimotoRift Yes but i use gigabyte board right now.
24. LaczupakabraPL says:

    December 21, 2010 at 6:45 pm

    @olivierhacking Yes You need new cooler. Go with one of the Arctic Cooling pro 7 coolers. They are great for the price and will be good to start OC. Good luck

    PS: Use good thermal paste! Artic Silver 5 will be very good.
