a real man, would stuff two of those in their computer! those suckers are perfect candidates for water cooling!

I Hope the build is going well .
I moved the thread to podium as it's more present pc chatting than actual RO2 discussions.
And yes, that is a sexy air cooler.
The one on my Phenom is about the same size, blowing air to the top of my giant Antec elevenhundred

I recommend the case for the space and cable management.
God I feel your pain. I have already had my fair share of PC issues.
As for my crossfire, I gave up on it.
Lack of fps gain, unstable in COH while being perfectly stable on BF3 and RO2
To help troubleshooting:
Have you tried running the pc with bare minimum and no overclock ?
Sorry people, looks like its going to be a while before I can get back to you with results. The system is incredibly unstable, with applications and processes crashing left, right and center, and blue screens galore! I have tested on a completely wiped drive, and its the same thing. Whether I've set it up wrong, or the motherboard bundle was already unstable is unclear at the moment (although, they said the reason it turned up late was because it was unstable and they had to fix it...foreboding). Anyway, I've started up a dialogue with the company I bought it on, and hopefully they will contact me back soon.
Not a happy bunny.
Fantastic News !
I feel pretty bad tho, I never clicked to suggest that.
Then again, to my experience, computer's don't even post if the motherboard bios is too old for the CPU.
I guess you made me learn a little something
On my end I am wondering if I should get myself that new Piledriver cpu or not (the 8350 (4ghz 4 modules 8 cores))
Still wish I had an I5 at this point, as it's far more capable gaming cpu, but all in all my Phenom still runs everything I need... I am such a fool when it comes to commodities.
glad you got it working! i got your message. thanks. i ended up throwing a phenom2x4 980 in my board. it's a half a ghz faster than my old cpu @3.7 and two more cores. a cheap final upgrade for this cpu/mb. i didn't really see how any more cores would do me any good.Finally fixed it, just under a month after I got it. The silly people who I bought the bundle from didn't update the bios. It was on F6 when the latest was F15!
Anyway, I'm extremely impressed with the performance. Playing on a 64 player server, I haven't seen the fps dip below 59 yet on ultra!

yeah, but to tell you the truth, i was happy with the 555be x2 i was using @3.7ghz as well. i just bought the x4 as a last upgrade before i move up. i didn't notice any framerate changes, but i really haven't played that much since i put it in at the beginning of the week. i need to test it on full servers and see how it runs. planning on overclocking it to 4.2ghz, if it will let me. i have a kuhler 620 on it.
