I was going to overclock - and thought a decent cooler would be needed. Also i hadn't planned on buying any more hardware, I only just changed my mind
I didn't realise about the triple channel only with i7 950 etc then?
Also I see the recall didn't affect all motherboards, and some sources suggested it's no reason to put you off buying it - but then i suppose some might say that, depending on what you had to gain
You're right, if I really wanted to buy a new system now I wouldn't let that recall affect me. It would also really suck if it
somehow affected me later down the road. Also, triple channel RAM is currently only used on 1366 chipsets.
Looks good. People with old i7's are reporting 8-9GB of RAM usage and you might find yourself getting capped if you like
higher quality video settings. If you can afford it, I would suggest 4 x 4GB for a total of 16GB.
