    Intel Haswell presented at IDF - Feature overclock like LGA2011

    Hotcakes? most sales are done via Consumer OEM and Enterprise/Commercial OEM. The only reason I see Intel investing in a enthusiast line is that speed records make a solid PR play...there is no way they are making That much money off enthusiast lines.

    Building New Ivy Bridge, Intel Gaming PC - Help!

    its my personal opinion that your motherboard is overkill for that application. I would go with a B75 chipset instead of a z77, since your not getting an overclocking chip, you don't care about 2-3 extra FPS, so why not just spend 80 bucks instead? the B75 comes with 1 sata6, and 3 sata3, and 1...

    Is 80-95 degrees normal for a HD5870 PCS+?

    those temps are pretty normal for the crappy fan they have on those cards. Get like a 30 dollar cheapie cooler on it and you'll drop temps down to about 70 under the worst load and have it run silent. I did a setsugun 2 on a 6950 ref 2gb unlocked, overclocked it to 1k, and it rarely passed 80...
