I just spent over $1800 on just my tower (no monitor or keyboard, mouse speakers...) just to find out that I can't OC anything because of this stupid i7 920 processor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! rawr!!!! my mobo's bios states that because my processor is locked I cannot change the memory settings, so I have to run my memory at 800 or 1066. Here is my hardware:
COOLER MASTER Stacker 830 Evolution Black Aluminum ATX Full Tower
ASUS Rampage II Extreme LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard
Intel Core i7 920 2.66GHz LGA 1366 130W Quad-Core Processor (not sure what version and too lazy to look in the closet)
EVGA 01G-P3-1281-AR GeForce GTX 285 1GB 512-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card
ABS Tagan BZ Series BZ700 700W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified
CORSAIR XMS3 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Triple Channel Kit Desktop Memory
Western Digital Caviar Black WD1001FALS 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive (crashes when I switch sata config to ACHI)
6x Scythe SY1225SL12SL 120mm "Slipstream" Case Fan (this is a great noise to cfm ratio 3.2 cfm's per decible and the price is great!)
