Liquid Metal ?? He's running low from delidding so much since he didn't do it right the first time.

Thanks for the vote of confidence Steve

My mistake Steve.

I typed the wrong number in my last post. I corrected it. From post #6 to post #60 by Trashzone.

I did read the complete post. As a matter I have read the entire thread over period of time.

All I was trying to point out was; if someone like me, that does want front panels 5 1/4 bays the choice of nice cases is limited.

If I remember you and I both have the Luxe and Primo and yes I did remove the internal 5 1/4 bays because I had external, front panel bay I could use.
My post # 98 was intended to answer the question by Caledon Ken.

Post # 69

Morning Jack. Which case does not have the 5 1/4" bays, the Luxe?

This case is very nice but does not have front panel 5 1/4 bay access externally.
To the best of my knowledge all Phantek's cases have internal bays if one cares to use them.

Thanks all for answering. The Elite case is $1300 in CDN. Even more than their limited edition model.

No fear of me buying either.

Hey folks, we have managed to hijack WORF's motherboard thread. We, me included, have totally changed the subject. Let's get back on topic of Worf's new board. We can start a new thread if wanted.

How's the new board and 'properly' delidded CPU doing?

Hi,
Yeah I read silicon lottery gave up on 5.3 chips and possibly 5.2's also batches weren't good enough to make it.

They got them in stock today Mike. :) for 999.99

Mike, I think that the 5.3 chips are just hard to come by, that's the only real problem. According to them, only the top 3% of CPUs will do 5.3. However the way Silicon Lottery tests the overclocks leaves a lot of room for lower voltages or higher overclocks. If you can figure out the other BIOS settings, the voltages they advertise means nothing. You can get stable at way lower voltages than what they advertise. I like their business approach. Opposite than advertising something you can't deliver, like most businesses do.

I really think with proper BIOS settings, many of their 5.2 chips are really 5.3 chips.
