Had been waiting to see if the new P55 boards and socket 1156 i5/i7 cpus were any good. When they arrived they seemed expensive, only slighly less than the full trple channel memory socket 1366 boards and cpu, so i said wtf and went all in. After checking for stabilty at standard clocks i'm now working my way up to 4.0ghz   Hyperthreading is disabled in Bios, so only 4 threads. Using very little Vcore, lower voltage all round and energy saving options still enabled. Even at full load i get max temps of a little over 60c on air cooling, will add my water cooling when my old Core2 Quad is de-comissioned Also got myself a new case to put it all in, a Coolermaster HAF 922 http://www.coolermaster.com/product.p...ct_id=6606 It's a great case with excelent air flow, and mounting up top for my double 120 rad. I used a Antec 902 for a mates build earlier this year which was good but the HAF 922 was much easier to work with and had better wiring options.  sry pic is rubbish Edited by gori11a on 17-10-2009 17:58 if only i had something funny or clever to put here........

Air cooling for now, bought a cheap Coolermaster Hyper212 plus. Very good for £17.99 Will have to pull old case apart to get water cooling loop out, as rad was cut into the roof. Edited by gori11a on 20-10-2009 23:03 if only i had something funny or clever to put here........
