Scroll through page 16 & 17 of this topic.  We're already posting photos of our rig builds.
 
So it seems I have more issues, S3 sleep doesn't work.  Well it did went into sleep but then automatically came out of it a couple of seconds later and crashed.  But it also recovered automatically from Windows hybrid sleep.  Also the chassis fan setting for Auto doesn't seem to be working correctly either.  It will work sometimes, but then it won't work other times.  So I leave it on manual 50%.
 
At least one good, awesome job EVGA on the driver CD.  No BS software suites that clutter your desktop.  Just plain and simple get things working drivers.  And thats the way I like it.

Can you enable XMP?


On the Z77 Stinger how do you enable XMP?
Thanks

I don't think there is an XMP setting.  Well, none of us have found it.

Well I hate to say it but I am retracting my stable memory statement from earlier saying that 1.3 VCCIO is the trick for 2133.  At this point 1866 & 2133 memory settings are flaky at best.  My Ripjaws at 2133 will boot into windows and browse the internet but if I try to do any benchmarking I get a BSOD.  I lowered the settings to 1600 to test my CPUs limits they are rock solid.  Well up to 4.7Ghz and 105.1 bclk where my cpu is limited.
Back to savaticus's question of has anyone got 1866 or 2133 stable yet?

Got any ideas for a cpu cooler? 


There is a 78mm height limit on your CPU heatsink with that case.  It shortens your list of heatsinks, but not impossible.  The Zalman CNPS8900 Quiet is what I choose to cool the i7 2600k in a Silverstone SG05 case.  Good performance for a low height heatsink.  Supports the i7 2600k at 3.8GHz under heavy loads, 24/7, and keeps the temps just under 70*C at a 50% fanspeed. 
 
http://zalman.com/eng/product/Product_Read.php?Idx=468
 
On my Mercury rig, space was a premiun in the Antec ISK300-150.  It took me some time to find just 1x heatsink that will work, and then more time to find a fan for the heatsink that wasn't as noisy as the one that was included.  So I picked out a Dynatron K666 and did a little modding to the case to make it work.  It has paid off.  Now I can run the i5 3570K more at the speeds it was designed for instead of underclocking to keep temps in check with the Intel OEM heatsink

Thanks for the heads up. I will just wait for a BIOS update. BTW nice looking build. I hope you get it all in your case. :)

Don't think that is going to work on the FT-03Mini.  There is only 1x case fan on the case and that is a 140mm fan.  Even if you did manage it, the problem is the radiator is lower than the water pump.  Air bubbles can become trapped inside the pump and cause it not to pump the water.  In a water cooling system, the pump needs to be lower than the radiator.

Should is the operative word. It isn't guaranteed by far.

Bubbles in a sealed water system happens.  If you notice it, you can lean the system a certain way to get them out.  Had it happen on my Falcon Northwest system and a Cooler Master Seidon 120m that I have on my 790i rig.  I leaned both of the systems while running for a short while and it worked the bubbles out.  Haven't heard any bubbles since!

May I suggest giving a little more slack to the tube section between the CPU block and the radiator?  It looks like it is stretched to the point of leaking eventually.   Remember, measure twice and cut once.

  Right-o on that.  Even my H100 has air bubbles in it.  I can hear the pump flush them out everytime I lay the PC down to be worked.

The Noctua NH-L9i might just fit.  It will be a tight sqeeze between the VReg, Memory, and CPU power connector.  But judging by where it screws in, it just might work.

I know the Zalman CNPS8900 drawfs all of the compents on the board.  Because of the raised flower design, it just clears them.

Yeah, I was worried about the same thing when it started pulling to the side. I went ahead and re-ran that tube today.

 
Here is a distance view with the door open (I need a window mod) My favorite part is that the SSD's bolt right to the side of the PSU casing just below the mobo, such an elegant solution. This case can hold 5 SSD's with no drive trays in it at all. Two where mine are, one on the floor right where the reservoir is, and two on the door panel.
 
 
I have made my 1TB spinning drive esata and my bluray drive is now in an external usb 3.0 enclosure. There is no reason to sacrifice on media here.
