Close on buying but should I wait?

Hey folks,

Plan is to buy in the next 3-4 weeks but should I wait?

Isnt the Haswell series coming out shortly?

Also, forgive me if I am asking a question that has already been asked. Is the Aventum 2 out, and if not when will it be released?

Thanks for the quick response.

I don't mind waiting if the aventum 2 is close.

Yeah, the copper tubing is pretty cool, I am hoping to have that in the rig I go for.

The Aventum 2 is out and the copper tubing looks great. I was like you waiting for this, and that. The way I figure it, I could wait forever. As every month something quicker and nicer will come out. Yes, new CPU and mobo are do out within a few weeks, but that as you know would be the slowest till the newer improved performance chip comes out. And the Titan 2 Video cards, etc, etc.

So I ordered my Aventum 2 last month.

Good Luck with whatever you decide, at least you picked the best gaming computer...

i think the biggest thing coming from Haswell is that it is sporting a 50percent increase on battery life.. and that has only to do with Labtops. Of course i think in all its about a 10-15percent boost in performance overall... i wouldnt put much stock into haswell untill its 2nd gen cpu's release.

theres no point in having lower temps yes watercooling will help you achieve better oc but a cpu that is running below zero "cryo" and one that is on water cooling will achieve the same oc. the only time subzero comes into play would be if you were using LN2 and crank the voltages up extreme levels killing the processor in the process

i always use a simple rule when i buy.

NEVER get the first edition!... always wait for the 2nd.

And 99.9percent of the time i am happier for it.

So I was talking to some pleasant folks in service and they said DS cant do Cryo Tec and copper pipes?

Is this true?

If I am spending big on a rig, surely there must be a way to achieve it?

It's not possible.

From what the team said, there is no plan to have Cryo-TEC for copper piping.

The Cryo-TEC is only for the processor.

Moving forward, the team is actually planning to phase out our Cryo-TEC cooling system because it does not help with overclocking on the newer CPUs that are being launched and the upcoming X79 update in a few months. The bottleneck now for overclocks are the actual processors, not cooling anymore. We'll be replacing the Cryo-TEC option with a copper pipe version.

Temps are really low as we use multiple 420mm radiators. Pretty much the best you can get. We also use a pump head upgrade on one of the best pumps on the market. Temps will depend on your overclock, for example a 12 thread Intel CPU on the X79 platform running at all cores 4.4GHz is around 75'C-80'C on load under extreme stress-testing conditions.

I have 2 Dell U3011 Monitor's that ill run in 2560.

I took what you said and updated my build, and I will add copper piping.

Any feedback/suggestions? Also, how long will the summer sale last?
