I have run a high oc since day one with modest airflow and never come close to overheating. The airflow produced by those baby fans is insignificant compared to case airflow with fans 10 times the size

i've run a high oc with an actively cooled chipset way back when case fans weren't so huge, and they still make a huge difference if your case cooling isn't as capable. i agree, good case airflow is best, but just because a component is actively cooled doesn't make it a bad thing.

Thanks Hunter I went ahead and bought the
MSI Z77A-G45 for $85 on ebay been only used for a month :D

@Col. Gaspar I got the Antec 900v2 has a 240mm fan on top and 3 120mm fans front and back. Going to throw in the 140mm fan I got from you on the side panel and going to add a Hyper Cooler 212. I think I should have enough airflow in my case. Only downfall of my case is my PSU exhaust is pointing upward to my case not downward :( Got those warm PSU airs going towards my mobo but I think it should be fine since I dont OC my 2500k and I only OC my 560Ti a bit.

Thanks! Been reading up on the board and it seems pretty good I would love the Sabertooth but hey I saved $70 that can go towards a new games :D

Btw I have my OS on my WD Blue but I wanna move to my WD Black and have my Blue as a storage drive for movies and documents. Is there a way to move my OS and my games and stuff onto my WD Black?

create a backup image of the drive and restore it onto the new drive. wd offers a basic version of acronis to accomplish this. WD Support
