Is this rig good enouf

[Troll2k]

The core i7 3930k is a Sandy Bridge-e chip and a socket 2011.

The new Ivy Bridge chips are socket 1155 and are the ones that get hot when upping the voltage for overclocking.

Hi Friedric

Your new rig looks killer

I put together something very similar the other week, typing on it just now, went for the slightly faster I7 3960 E and also the Asus Rampage Extreme IV clocked to 4.6GHz, its mainly for FSX as this sim will use all six cores but CLOD flys on it too, this system is much quicker than my previous I7 2600K overclocked slightly higher ... I even have the same soundcard (Asus Xonar STX) as you, running a GTX 680 though, running a Corsair H100 for cooling too.

Enjoy.

nice chassis look pretty cool mate

Cheers mate, I see you went socket 2011 six core too, was thinking about going for Ivy Bridge, but no six cores until at least a possible E version late/early next year, also they heat up a bit too much for my liking, glad I made this move to socket 2011 Sandy Bridge-E now.

Enjoy.
