Well I'm sure that Extreme 120 is louder than V8 no? Up to 82C and under is normal for overclocked i7s. It's not recommended that you keep it running 24/7 at those temps but Prime 95 is not really an everyday scenario in any case. My normal temps are like 40-45c now with overclock (they were 35c with no overclock).

No its much quieter. It has a single 120mm fan and it spins at a constant 1,600RPM - I can't even hear it over my GTX260's which both spin at 40%. My case in general is incredibly quiet it has 4x140mm Fans and Sound suppressive padding inside but even so I can't hear the Extreme 120. That is partly why it's so exspensive.

Well finally finished tonight the new i7 build, considering we talked about it in the other thread. Overall everything went great. No problems and I have to say I was very impressed with new Antec case. The 1200. It could use a bit more screw-less stuff but overall very well thought out.

Unfortunately RAM is not all here cause it wasn't delivered but I'm getting it tomorrow so it'll be finally done.

Well off to installing the system now and I'll maybe post some benchmarks so people can compare results.

Also, V8 Cooler Master is one of the nicest and quietest CPU coolers I've used. The thing is incredibly big but works very well thanks to the 120mm fan inside.

Enjoy.

Sweet box. I had to register just to tell you so.

Me, I'm an AMD guy (please don't hit me) but have to respect your choices in this configuration. well done.

    • Most AI-powered mainframe migration vendors expected to fail by 2030, Gartner warns

      Most AI-powered mainframe migration vendors expected to fail by 2030, Gartner warns by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels You may have read that many companies still run code written in ancient programming languages like COBOL and pay a handsome sum for those who can maintain that code. Well, it looks like this area of the tech world could be the scene of an AI bubble. It turns out that there are mainframe exit vendors, helping companies move their legacy mainframe systems to modern cloud environments or servers such as Microsoft Azure and AWS, using generative AI tooling. Unfortunately, 75% of these vendors are now expected to pivot or cease operations as market realities take hold by 2030. Alessandro Galimberti from Gartner said: Some of the companies in the mainframe exit market are IBM, 21CS, BMC, Broadcom, Rocket Software, DXC, GTSG, and Kyndryl. The reasons some of these firms are expected to quit the market are a reset of market expectations and a decline in demand for one-size-fits-all migration solutions. The reset in expectations is likely to be driven by cost overruns and threats to business, and the potential occurrence of critical failures within businesses as a result of bad transition implementations. These insights from Gartner are pretty interesting because it’s a specific area of the market where doubt is being cast on generative AI. Many people have cast doubt on whether AI companies will successfully justify the massive amounts spent on GenAI to date, and this data from Gartner suggests the road could be rocky for GenAI.

      Heaven forbid they lose pennies from their Trillions! Like always, the consumer pays the most. Why is Tim Cooks even talking.....shouldn't he be packing up his office??

      If you have the budget...! Some solo or indies just want to either learn or start their game and aren't in a capacity to pay salaries or to contractors... Get real.
