I think that TJ-07 has been designed to use two intake fans at rear. Hot air should be exhausted to the top.

I am willing to buy similar computer, now I do study all specs, cons and contras...

Maybe I will wait for 6-cores Gulftown...

Leo,
I built recently something similar to your PC

Asus p6T SE motherboard
i7 950 (still not OC...)
Sparkle nVidia 9600 GT
OCZ ModXStream Pro 500W
Midi tower Cooler Master Elite RC-330
DVD-Ram LG GH-22NS3
54-1 Card reader
Tacens Aura 12cm 12dB Fan
HD Western Digital WD5000AADS 500 GB
Kingston ValueRAM Tri-Kit DIMM 6 GB DDR3-1066

I want to play a bit with OC, and I have some questions (I'm a bit lost):
OC is motherboard dependent?
do you know a good tutorial to avoid converting my PC in a cool paperweight?
My PC is at 65ºC working at full load, which is the top recommended temperature making OC?

thanks

@rusteberg
yummy!

@MS
the i9 will be so expensive you will be able to buy almost 5-6 i7 for the same money... (only the processor)
but you can start with an i7 and replace it by an i9 when the price drops.

I have not seen any prices yet. But if you are right i7 920 is my choice.

This is my first oc ever... so you're asking the wrong guy. What has worked the best for me is to go to the MB specific forum and ask there

"Pricing of the six-core Gulftown CPUs is expected to reach as high as US$1,499 in thousand-unit tray quantities."

yes, i know, considering additional mobos, ram, etc. it's not 5-6x... but 2-3 i7 920 sytems @3,6GHz+ or 1 dual quad sys should be possible. and at the time new, better overclockable dual nehalem boards will be available the second option will be great!
