I think I will drop the hammer on this one. The price a week ago was 304.00, next day I took and it's 284.00, glad I waited.

i can pretty much assume i'm like the first couple ones who brought that board when it was released during thanksgiving break, i was originally gonna gun for the p6t deluxe v2 but saw this board instead

get two 120mm fans for intake/exhaust configuration

they are secured by clippers so it's really easy on the installation.

I don't know if my case has that much room. I'm only using a mid tower. The Venomous is not on newegg (it's like the only place I buy stuff from). Is the difference that big between Artic Freezer 7 and Polimatech Mega with fans?

i personally don't have any experience with the arctic freezer but most if not all megahalem users can safely clock their i7 to 4ghz+ no problem.

Yea I'm already at 3.4 with 1.13 voltage I'm pretty sure I can definitely push it to 4.0 easily with one of these beast coolers. I just don't wanna go through the hassle of learning how to install push pull config and buy more fans and stuff I guess

Only the 120mm rad (H50). Sorry, can't be of any help here. But, if you do end up getting the 240mm, I'd be interested in hearing your experience with it.

Thank you for providing your overclock settings, I inputted them exactly as indicated and also ran the intel burn test (high for 20 passes) and it seems I passed as well.

My prior overclock settings unfortunately would have me rebooting randomly without warning or BSOD -- my os is set to not reboot on BSOD so I can see what the errors are (and i had a higher cpu voltage @1.3 -- was trying to maintain a stable overclock at 4.0, although my BCLK was 190 instead of 191 @ 21x multiplier). It's strange because my prior settings I had running prime 95 (mixed cpu/ram test) for approx 14-16 hours, and I even managed to encode without issue for approx 30 hours until the boot happened this morning.

Would you recommend any other type of stress testing to ensure the stability of my system? I've tried using prime 95 before (although not with these settings) but I'm unsure how long I shoul be running the test for, and which setting to use to replicate real world processing loads.

My rig will be used for 24/7 h264 video encoding, so the cpu loads will be constantly high in real world application.

One thing I'm very happy with regarding your settings: My idle temps are now approx 28-30 degrees, with load in the mid 50s (am using the corsair H50 cooling system) -- a difference of approx 10-15 degrees from my prior settings. I am also using Corsair Dominator ram, although i don't know if they are "GT" (mine are TR3X6G16000C8D) and I noticed with your settings my timings are doing 8-8-8-20 instead of 8-8-8-24 (I originally had the XMP overclock profile instead of manual, but sticking to your profile i left everything ram related on auto).

I really do appreciate the profile you provided though, and knowing what I can do to guarantee a stable overclock (further testing, etc) would be really helpful (as the reboots mess up my encoding progress / potentially ruin the content).
Glad to help out. Yeah, I tinkered around with the settings for a while to try and get the lowest voltage and still maintain a stable OC of 4ghz, which would also yield lower temperatures.

Yeah, the "TR3X6G16000C8D" are Dominator GT's! Although, I haven't really had a chance to tweak the memory settings yet, but, will probably do so when I get time. Honestly, you probably won't notice much more gain/difference tweaking them. The biggest gain would be from OC'ing the CPU.

As far as stability goes, I've read that IBT puts more stress on the CPU than Prime95 will, and at a much faster rate. There was also discussion about running IBT on "High" for 20 passes being equivalent to running P95 for 3 days, so you should be pretty rock solid. And the chances of you stressing the CPU at 100% for that long in a real world situation is likely not going to happen.

I disabled mine and no waiting. Boots to the desktop now in like 4 seconds! Although, I'm running an SSD too. When you get un-lazy, swap them over to the regular sata ports and disable the other ports in bios and you should be golden!

Lots of great coolers out there, some better than others, some larger than others, but all should seat well on this board. Some good air coolers to look at are the VenemousX, True 120 and Megahalem's. I'm personally running the Corsair H50 (which is a closed water loop, easy to install kit) and it yields amazing results, plus it's super quiet and takes up little to no space. As far as pricing goes for these coolers, you can probably look to spend around $50-$80, and with the blackout editions an additional $10-$20.
