Ah cool I didn't know they were doing a H60. The H70 is a bit too much for what I want and this looks like a revised block / pump over the h50. I won't be buying for a while and will look into things again closer to the date (these should be out by then

The H70 certainly hasnt been as popular as the H50 - the main thing is the sizing a think most people have had an issue with the H70. The fenrir is a great bang for buck cooler, theres quite a few reviews out there on it. The other cooler to look at is the prolimatech megahalems and the thermaltake frio (recent custom pc award winner).

On a shameless plug a 2500k and the p8p67 pro board is £5 cheaper from tekheads with free delivery plus if you ask nicely ill send you a mafia2 full game download code by pm

Lol Andy free delivery is good,but I be a bit lazy seeing as you only 5 mins from me,I'm sure you be seeing me very soon 

hmm it now seems tere is a problem with fitting the h50 to the asus board.

How? it says go into the BIOS and click the icon with flames on it for a optimal overclock of about 4.5Ghz then hit save or F10! watch from 5 mins in.

yer i watched 10 mins or more,then stopped to post it on here, but you beat me to it,tbh my head is spining with reading about all the problems ppl are having with this board,i really want to get the stuff and be up and running,but i think its going to be to much for my limited knowledge on pc hardware etc,i try and ring round a few pc shops tomorrow see how much they charge me to build if i supply the parts.

It sounds like you are reading way too much into it. It seems to me from my knowledge that the new hardware is incredibly easy to work with. It's literally a case of buy the board and processor and some XMS memory, fit it all, power up, into the new type of BIOS and click 'Super Fire TURBO mode', save and done! High peformance in moments.

Yup exactly, it's easy to read into all the advanced tuning options and think OMG, but don't run before you can walk the auto mode is indeed a breeze

well i,m just reading what ppl have wrote on forums and they seem to know what they doing,and have just done what you said,but alot can,t even get it to bootup to bios,and they have tried all ways,i,m worried if this happens to me im left with a pc that i can,t sort,having to rma stuff back tht migt be faulty or not i wouldn,t be able to test it like some have to rule at hardware,if i get a shop to build it they atleast get it up and running for me,i can then watch video's etc on how to oc.

Fair point Brian, if you're worried reliability is an issue and you're not sure then I can see where you're coming from.

Don't get me wrong i really like to give it a go,but with someone next to me with knowledge in case things don,t work,God i wish i had me old pc,i had a m8 build it for me,only tok him a hour or so,and it never missed a beat from first bootup till i stupidly blew it up,best pc i ever owned,wish he lived round here now i been back up and running..

Yeah I see what you mean now, if people are having those kind of problems using these special optimised settings then clearly its not working so well as 'asooos' would hope.

yer i think alot is down to it being new,asus will realease a new bios update soon,and i think that sort most problems out for alot of ppl,i,m desperate to get my pc up and running again,but i was hoping there be no problems,there is quite alot on ocuk and on the asus forums,thats the only thing thats stopping me,i could have the parts here tomorrow tekheads have the stuff and they only 5 mins down the road from me,im so tempted to go get it,but then i,m worried if i do i end up in the same mess as others and still be without a pc,i,m pleased matt got his going first time and i might be fine as well,its that IF that worrys me.here is a example anotherr new thread in ocuk.
