I am a newbie to OC.
I am building a system for number crunching and moderate graphics. Specs below. I plan to do some moderate OC and view this as a starter system.
I ordered a Coolit ECO II 120 from Puget Systems since they helped me with configuration but could not beat web pricing on the other components. Then I started looking. I can not find a vendor other than Puget Systems and other systems companies, that sells the Coolit ECO II 120.
Is the Coolit a reasonable starting point? Are they staying in business?
Do I need a cooler for the Intel X79 chipset?
Motherboard Asus P9X79 Pro
CPU Intel Core i7 3930K
Ram Kingston HyperX 16G DDR3-1866 <-- Need to go to 2400 for OC
Video Card Diamond Radeon HD 6870 1GB
Monitor ASUS VS228H-P LCD
Sound Card Onboard Sound
Hard Drive Western Digital Caviar Blue 500GB SATA 6Gb/s
Western Digital Caviar Blue 500GB SATA 6Gb/s
CD / DVD Asus 24x DVD-RW SATA (black)
Case Antec P183 V3 (4 FANS)
Power Supply Antec CP-850 850W Power Supply
Paste Artic Cooling MX-4 (may not need this)
CPU Cooling Coolit ECO II 120
FreeBSD/Windows 7/Linux
