Basically, there are main motherboard types out there, each supports a different group of processors, and memory.

There's socket 1366, socket 1156, and socket 1155 (make sure you do not confuse these two)

Socket 1366 uses the X58 chipset, runs tri-channel 240 pin DDR3 memory @ 1.65volts or under, processors include Core i7 920, Core i7 930, Core i7 940, Core i7 950, Core i7 960, Core i7 965, Core i7 970, Core i7 975, Core i7 980X, Core i7 990X.

Socket 1156 uses the P55 chipset, runs dual-channel 240 pin DDR3 memory @ 1.65volts or under, processors include Core i5 750, Core i5 760, Core i7 860, Core i7 870, Core i7 880.

Socket 1155 uses the P67 chipset, runs dual-channel 240 pin DDR3 memory @ 1.65volts or under, processors include Core i5 2300, Core i5 2400, Core i5 2500, Core i5 2500K, Core i7 2600, Core i7 2600K.


So the memory you linked wouldn't even fit, because it's DDR2.

Looks perfect although you can delete the heatsink. The stock one is decent enough. The cooler included with the retail Core i7 2600K, is actually decent.

So the memory you linked wouldn't even fit, because it's DDR2.

And the first linked memory is for the P55 chipset, so if I go with the i7 2600K, that won't work either?

1156 memory should work in 1155. Just be sure, I posted on another (private btw) forum.

Would the Corsair Hydro H70 Liquid Cooling rig work with the i7 2600K. I've never had the chance to even see a LC rig. I guess I'll need to read up on that.

1156 coolers should work with 1155. So yes. I think the Corsair H70 is overpriced and not needed, IMHO. Good air-cooling is cheaper with similar performance, although some people don't like good air cooling because they feel the heavy heatsink is straining the motherboard.

According to one of the reviews it can be OC'd without LC!!! Awesome. I forget what I'm using now for a heatsink, but it's basically a copper bowl of blades. Works pretty darn good, I wonder if I can recycle it. Would a P4 heatsink work on todays chips or is the mounting different?

The mounting is probably different.

At 1.4 volts and 4.7ghz, they will get to 70 degrees using stock cooling. i.e. the stock cooling is good enough IMHO.

Intel now ships decent heatsinks with their unlocked processors.

OMG! F or C. I can't even get my below 110F during the winter.

C. 70C is 160 F, but it's not too hot. Remember, that was 70 degrees C at full load too.

HA, okay!!! One time my buddy and I were trying to get a heatsink off a cpu, so he held the fan with his finger while I booted into the CMOS. When it got to 160F the goop loosened enough to get the sink off.

If I was a poet, I would be able to properly express my gratitude and appreciation for your help. Spending your time to get me a big bang for my bucks. But, I'm not so all I can say is "Dear Lord, Thank this man for me."

I bumped up the SSD to http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6820211487
It has more read/write MB/s. And since not having the LC saves me another hundred, maybe I'll put that into a bigger SSD.

Can I send you my Excel sheet again so you can review it?

[Skittles]

Do you think the ASUS P8P67 MB will be more than $200?

I've been comparing SSDs. I found one for $215 w/120GB. I could use that for my Games drive and still have the $105 SSD for windows and put everything else on the one 1TB HDD.

trying to figure out if the memory is compatible with the mobo / cpu.
