    Aftermarket cooler for a GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3

    Corsair H70 works great for me. In Mint Debian, I can compile code with the j3 (all four cores) option and stay under 55c. I idle at around 30c. Things are a bit tight, but the case I have isn't really designed with a cooler like that in mind.

    Gaming on the OSX side

    I use OS X for Eve Online and Perpetuum (via crossover games) and everything works fine. I did a comparison against Win 7, and my performance in Eve is actually better in OS X. In Win 7 I max out at about 75-80 fps, and hold steady at 40 in more intense situations. In Lion, I max at 130-140...

    Any way to copy OSX from one disk to another?

    +1 to Carbon Copy Cloner. Format the partition that you want to move to, use CCC to backup everything to it, run multibeast and install chimera on the new drive just in case, then reboot and tell your bios to boot off of that drive. I've done it in the past that way no problem.

    32-bit or 64-bit Apple Boot Screen

    That is one of the best explanations of OS X 32bit vs 64bit I've seen.

    [Solved] Your device or computer could not be verified

    Worked for me as well. Thank you! Previously, just deleting the NetworkInterfaces.plist file had worked, but I had to redo my install and it didn't this time.

    Anyone succeed a 10.7 install with an ASUS P8P67 Pro board?

    P8P67LE here. Had to do a clean install of 10.6.8 for some reason, then upgrade from there. A few of the new Apple installed apps didn't like running from my symlinked external partition, so I had to redo a few things and put all the stock apps on my SSD. Other than that all I needed was HDA...

    HELP! 5770 Graphics Problem! HELP!

    Use iboot to boot your snow leopard installation disk. Use disk utility to repair permissions. Hope and pray that that is it.

    Time Machine - repartition Snow Leopard drive, or add new hd

    You're better off using a second drive. What happens if you have a physical drive failure with both partitions on the same drive? And yes, disk utility can format it fine for you.

    i5 max overclock 4.8Ghz?

    My stable was running without KP, playing Portal2, WOW, Rift, and EVE with it at that speed for about 5 days, no sleep, no reboots. Honestly, above about 4.9 I didn't see any sort of performance increase to justify that much of an OC. I'm sure the fact that my H70 seems to keep my CPU below...

    i5 max overclock 4.8Ghz?

    I've gotten mine as high as 5.5, stable, but I had to do a lot more messing around with voltage than I was comfortable with.

    Graphics Card Dilemma

    It's not too loud. Under full load you can hear it spin up a bit, but it's no whirlwind loud or anything like that. A HDMI-DVI adapter should work, but I don't know for sure. I've only used the DVI port on mine.

    Graphics Card Dilemma

    I'm going to throw a wrench in the gears, and suggest that, if you want a 5770, you might want to look at http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6814127490. It's the same card I have, and I had no trouble getting it setup with GE=yes. 64 bit works, steam works. Portal 2 pushes 90+fps...
