got it thanks.
so will i still be able to get this oc'd to 4.4ghz stable roughly? thats what i was going to aim for. what sort of things should i look out for so i know its not using too much power?
There was no rubber or cover over 4 of the pins, which makes me worry a bit. what sort of limitation would i have on overclocking?
Not sure im comfy using it in that fashion :/ and with all the money i've spent on new parts i don't think i want to risk it not working and something bad...
damnit, i even sent the missus out this evening so i could have a night of pc building!
Guess its new PSU time then,
which one of these would be my best bet:
corsair gs600
corsair gs800
OCZ ZS Series 750W
edit: i am planning on OCing so a new PSU is probably the best option
hi guys
received my parts today but the motherboard z77 d3h has and an 8 pin 12v. my antec tp2 550w only has a 4pin 12v. what are my options? am i going to need a new psu? or will the 4pin suffice?
my other parts were a i5 3750k, radeon 7950, 8gb ram and a Samsung ssd
thanks
Ok just measured the distance between my mobo and and inner edge of the case and it is 180mm, looks like the macho will be ok after all!
Im kind of torn between the gigabyte and the ICEq now, I see the ICEq has boost and clocks faster than the gigabyte, would this not be the better option...
Thanks for the suggestions so far guys.
This is my case:

That other case you linked has a fan on the door which might lower the cooler height for that model. I think i will just have to get the tape measure out later and measure...
