    that's subjective. if you want honest opinions of your work, don't act self-indulged.

    I found 4 X58 mATX boards on PCPP. All are non-OEM:

    ASUS Rampage II/III Gene (High end board, probably expensive)
    EVGA 121-BL-E756-TR (EVGA boards are usually quite expensive)
    MSI X58M (Cheapest one, try to find this one)

    A quick search on Ebay canada for the boards I just posted didn't bring up any relevant results. Several ASUS Rampage III/II boards, but all very expensive. Most of them are NOS.

    Try to find one of those though.

    Wasn't supposed to sound cocky. Edited it to sound a little better.

    I meant look for any of the 4 (ASUS, EVGA or MSI).
    Yes, an ASUS board would be great, but they're expensive.

    Yeah, sucks the board was dead. Don't give up on the i7 though, Nehalem CPUs are awesome.

    Nice. I considered buying one, but I can't find a reason to overclock my CPU and my 212 Evo is good up to 4.3-4.4 GHz.

    Does anyone else want destructible buildings? Sorta how battlefield 4 handles it, but to keep fps down, it only becomes dynamic when a vehicle gets near enough.

    Your cooler is twice the size of mine, yet I can run a higher speed AMD with double the cores and it still stays cooler?

    Either your thermal paste needs replacing or you mounted it wrong. Or you just set it to an extremely high voltage like I did. Mine is lapped with NT-H1 and a Cwazywazy custom mount. (I lost the right screws and I had to come up with a solution when I got a new board.)

    You should see narwhal2's cooler on his FX-6300 (I think). It's nutz. I can't remember how he said the heat sink was attached, but the fan is rubberbanded on to the heat sink.

    I use two long screws with washers screwed in just far enough that it doesn't bend the bracket around the pump/block and the other two are bigger screws with springs that are in all the way.

    7.3 or 6.8
    The 6.0 is a terrible engine and the 5.4 is underpowered.

    7.3

    Swamps 160/100's single shot injectors

    Dyno proven HBJR HPOP

    PHP Hydra with some gearhead tunes

    6637

    4 inch exhaust

    DPC torque converter

    and BTS valvebody

    excellent combo to wake up a 7.3 (425-450 RWHP)
