So basically you wouldn't live here :P
You do realize most my life (and countless others too) revolves around those things, especially the latter.
Due to the extremely small market, a lot of brands simply don't exist here and that doesn't just apply to PC parts. For example, there is currently only ONE shop in this country that is selling ONE 240mm radiator and I can't even confirm if they have it in stock. All other PC stores have removed their radiator listings for all sizes/brands. GPU waterblocks are non-existent. Most of the stuff on Amazon/eBay doesn't give the option to ship here, and when it does there are colossal import taxes to deal with.
You could feed yourself with takeaways for a week for the price of a single Noctua fan ($50 NZD). The ingame latency for online games which don't have oceanic servers (i.e. most MMO's) will make you punch yourself in the face.

so i decided to try out RAMcaching, the mods over on the ROG forums have been touting it for a few months now, its pretty much like RST but it uses RAM instead of a SSD, it does what it says, after a few loads my load times in wow were down to 2 seconds, fairly close to a RAMDisk, and programs load faster and snap in place almost the second you double click them
and now the downside, 8 hours later I'm sitting on two SSDs with fully corrupt file systems
perhaps this is a good time to try out Arch Linux
I just updated my motherboard BIOS, which should "improve stability and memory compatability" according to the Asus website. Maybe I'll give this overclocking malarky another go tomorrow.
What would you guys suggest? multiplier x46, vCore 1.3V and load line calibration to extreme? Anything else I should look out for?

Thanks, I'll try it out later. I think one of the problems I had was because my RAM was set to 1600MHz, but I couldn't get even 4.5GHz stable at 1.35V (in the OC leaderboard I saw people getting stable much higher than that). Here's to trying again.
On another overclocking question o/
Just 2 things I don't understand weather I should using or not atm with this ASRock board when OC'ing this 2500k
Internal PLL overvoltage - Have this turned off, but have read some guides saying I can tweak the setting (suggesting it should be on?) for some higher overclocks. No idea what it actually does.
CPU Load Line Calibration - Have this on Level 2 atm, which I take it is the 2nd highest setting (from 1-5). I understood it as the amount the voltage can vary, #1 meaning 'varying the least', but I really have no idea if this is correct.
Looking to do a prime95 run tonight with it on 4.9GHz @ 1.425v and don't know weather these 2 are making a bigger impact than just increasing the vCore until it's stable.
Cheers
So does anyone find that after even a short period of time you get used to the clicking and clacking of mechanical keyboards? Especially the Corsair K60/90 Cherry MX Red switches (I own the K90, I know Marest owns one too, NWN owns the K60, and I believe a few others own these as well).
In my recent thread post about Linux, I noticed that I completely zoned out while typing that and don't even recall really hearing the keys, I've only owned the keyboard for 1-2 months, so, it's possible I guess I've just grown so used to it that unless I focus on it I hardly notice it.
This happen to you folks?
I like the clickity clackaty noise of my K60, so I would be sad if I stopped noticing it lol.
