Bought the 1st one un-lit to see what I thought of Mech Keyboards after seeing all the nerds rave about them here in OCN. Wow! OK I get it now. You do gain an accuracy because the mind knows when...

Also, the cooling block was pretty flat. I'm a machinist on occasion and "pretty flat" isn't easy. I wet sand CPUs and coolers on glass; this cooler took 1/4 of the time the i7-2600k required to...

I wrote the initial info for this case, so that's pretty much my review. Compared to the TT Command Snow I just evaluated, if THIS case was ATX sized, I would rather buy this case than the TT...

Overall, I'd recommend passing on buying this unless you're at the store and it's the cheapest one you like. I'm more impressed by the quality of the generic Apex TX521 that Tiger Direct likes to...

The core voltage in CPU-Z seems very high to me. I run my 2500k at 4.5ghz with just 1.26v. I manually set the voltage on my mobo and don't use offset, so I'm not sure what to tell you other than that's a lot more voltage than you should need.

Just a question, the lower the vcore the lower the temperature? I might try 1.26v in a second if this other guy dosnt respond.

Yes, it will be lower but possibly not stable. You can try it but you may bluescreen
