A bit of an odd motherboard choice if you ask me, but nobody should complain XD Let's be clear about this: it's the choice of case and CPU cooler that's odd, the Z77 FTW and Intel 3770K are awesome and kewl choices. Oh crap, that sounded like I was complaining... [quote user="Johnny3D"] I disagree. Overclocking reduces the overall lifespan of a machine. Some folks, like myself, want our machines to last as long as possible because we can't afford to be replacing them very often. I don't think that makes me 'a bit crazy'. So... if I win this machine, I'll keep it clean, cool, and running at stock speeds for years. Voltage and temperature can reduce the overall lifespan of a chip, but there are hardware options which can mitigate this. Sell the 3770K and get a regular 3770 then, if it has a "K", you must overclock. Dems the rules. [:P]
