No need go for performance ram, the performance increment only 1-5%.

performance ram oc easier right?

performance ram oc easier right?
Yes...
Anyway, xnk = ? tak nak?

i suggest changing the mobo from GD80 to GD65,better value for yout money.About the rams,just take those normal 'value' stuff,don't waste your money on so called high performance ram

Yeah, GD65 is good enough even for hardcore overclockers imo. And if you're not planning to CF, you can just get a 500w PSU instead of a 800w.

I am using MSI P55-GD65.
My Core i7 860 has been OCed to 3.7Ghz with CoolerMaster Hyper TX3(Cheapo HSF) and Tuniq TX3(Thermal Grease) on MSI P55-GD65.
The Idling Temperature is 46-47C. Ambient Temperature is 48-52C. Stressed/Load Temperature is 67-69C.
I can go more of course, however, I don't want to have very high temperature. I think MSI P55-GD65 can go about 4.5-5.0Ghz for Core i7 800-Series.

Personally, I would recommend you to take Tuniq Tower 120 Extreme HSF and pair it up with Tuniq TX3. It's more powerful and cheaper than Prolimatech's.

You can drop the 800Watt PSU too if you're not going to CF/SLI. CPU OC won't use much Power. CF/SLI use a lot of POWER!

for mobo take GD65 n save ur money...
spend it on 1600Mhz RAM instead of 1333Mhz...
for PSU xigmatek NRP product is more cheaper,reliable and bang for buck i think...
750w already can handle ur new 5870...

Skrg masih mencari RAM, Nak pakai 2x2GB=4GB tapi tak pasti nk pilih yg mana? pohon bantuan rakan2: Nak ambil 1333 / 1600 ? mana lebih berbaloi. Ingat xnk OC lagi RAM ni..

amek Team Xtreem LV 1600Mhz 2x2GB bro...bape99 jual rm450 je. aku beli dlu rm530
aku try oc 2000mhz CL9 boleh bro...cheap ni.

pastu mobo tu pki GD65 jer. psu pakai 750watt sudah.

duit lebih tu boleh buat try WaterCooling nak bro? PM aku klu nak...

ts for the those ram you quote then i would choose Team extreem 1600 instead as i think its better spec and price is resonable for rm450.

Take out those "Performance RAM Kit(1600Mhz's not 1333Mhz's)", change them to Normal RAM DDR3-1333 CL9 and take out the Motherboard(P55-GD80) to P55-GD65.
Lower down the PSU to Xigmatek 750Watt PSU or even lower like Xigmatek 650Watt PSU. Actually, even 500Watt is more than enough if you're not CF/SLI(Dual GPU).
Change the Prolimatech HSF to Tuniq Tower 120 Extreme(better performance and cheaper).
With these things being cut out, you got extra money indeed.
It's enough for you to change the Core i5 750 to Core i7 860.

I dont think it's possible for i7 8-series to hit 5.0ghz on air even though using some premium cooler eg mega, lapped true copper, venomous x, etc...

Did the statement I said show that I will use Air-Cooling or Water-Cooling for 5.0Ghz Core i7 860? I suppose NO right?
I said the MSI P55-GD65 can handle 4.5Ghz-5.0Ghz Core i7 800-Series only. If you use Air-Cooling for such a high OC, then, the hardware might burn. Yet, it still can OC to 5.0Ghz regardless the hardware damages.
However, in REAL/LOGIC view/world, you won't do that unless, you want to kill your CPU faster. So, Water-Cooling is recommended for extreme OC.
Tuniq Tower 120 Extreme can handle Core i7 860 @ 4.0Ghz-4.6Ghz without any problem at all.

FYI, Air-Cooling HSF now a day have been improved a lot. Don't worry.

Because TS mentioned on air cooling, so i assumed you were talkng about oc'ing on air to hit 5ghz...

I see. But, the MSI P55-GD65 indeed can handle 4.5Ghz-5.0Ghz Core i7 800-Series. But, you need Water Cooling to play safe.
Air-Cooling like Tuniq Tower 120 Extreme can handle 4.4Ghz-4.6Ghz without any problem(still very low temperature) at all.

Tuniq Tower 120 extreme is better than Prolimatech Megahalem?
