2nd Generation Intel Core i7

Fully Unlocked Flexibility & Freedom

With its fully unlocked multiplier, the Intel Core i7-2600K processor allows full control over the processor core/turbo and DDR3 ratios as well as power and current limits for the best possible overclocking results. It also allows for processor graphics overclocking for improved 3D performance. Intel's cutting-edge 32nm micro-architecture with 2nd gen Hi-K+ metal gate process delivers the 2nd generation Intel Core™ processors with higher performance at lower power, thus better overclocking capability. (Intel P67 Express Chipset required for core and memory overclocking, and Intel H67 Express Chipset required for graphics overclocking.)

The Intel® Core™ i7 processor delivers best-in-class performance for the most demanding applications. This quad-core processor features 8-way multitasking capability and additional L3 cache. With adaptive performance and built-in visual capabilities this 2nd generation processor brings more intelligence to your PC.

2nd generation Intel® Core™ i7 processors feature Intel® Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 and Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology, enabling required security applications and protocols to run efficiently in the background without compromising productivity.

SUPERIOR COOLING PERFORMANCE

The Corsair Hydro Series H60 features a new micro–channel cold plate and split–flow manifold that delivers coolant directly to the center of the cold plate – the warmest area of the CPU – to significantly improve cooling efficiency. A redesigned micro-channel cold plate with a new fin design dramatically increases the surface area of copper available for heat absorption. Finally, a custom-designed 120mm fan with very high static pressure allows for more cold air to be drawn through the radiator to vent heat from the cooling liquid.

LOW NOISE COOLING SOLUTION

You don’t have to sacrifice performance to build a quiet system. The Hydro Series coolers feature innovative, cutting–edge designs that utilize the superior thermal conductivity of liquid over air to provide fantastic cooling at much lower noise levels. In fact, the H60 is similar in noise levels to a 120mm case fan you probably already have.

The Intel® Z68 Express Chipset

The Intel® Z68 Express Chipset is a single-chipset design to support socket 1155 Intel® second generation Core™ i7/Core™ i5/Core™ i3 processors. It provides improved performance by utilizing serial point-to-point links, allowing increased bandwidth and stability. Additionally, Z68 chipset provides 2 SATA 6Gb/s and 4 SATA 3Gb/s ports for faster data retrieval at double the bandwidth of current bus systems. Moreover, Intel® Z68 Express Chipset also supports iGPU function, letting users enjoy the latest Intel integrated graphic performance.

True SATA 6GB/s Support

Experience the Future of Storage!  Supporting next-generation Serial ATA (SATA) storage interface, allowing faster data transfer rates of up to 6.0Gb/s . Additionally, get enhanced scalability, faster data retrieval, double the bandwidth of current bus systems.

10X Faster Data Rates!

Experience ultra-fast data transfers at 4.8Gbps with USB 3.0 – the latest connectivity standard. Built to connect easily with next generation components and peripherals, USB 3.0 transfers data 10X faster and is also backward compatible with USB 2.0 components.

PERFECT FOR OVERCLOCKING

Designed with overclockers in mind, Corsair Vengeance DDR3 memory modules use carefully selected RAMs to enable excellent overclocking results on current and future generation Intel and AMD platforms. All initial Vengeance memory modules have a low 1.5V supply voltage for maximum compatibility and energy efficiency. Aluminum heat spreaders help dissipate heat effectively while providing an aggressive appearance for your gaming rig. As a bonus, the attractive low price of Vengeance memory will also leave lots of room in your system build budget. Now available in Racing Red!

OPTIMIZED FOR COMPATIBILITY WITH THE 2ND GENERATION (SANDY BRIDGE) INTEL CORE PROCESSOR FAMILY

Designed specifically for the latest CPUs, Corsair Vengeance modules run at 1.5V for maximum compatibility with the 2nd generation (Sandy Bridge) Intel Core processor family

OCZ Technologies Vertex 3 SSDs

OCZ Vertex 3 Solid State Drives (SSDs) unleash the performance potential of the SATA 6Gbps interface, leading the speed revolution in this next-generation solution. As the first SSD to feature the latest Sandforce controller design, OCZ designed the Vertex 3 to push the limits in both sequential and random read/write rates to blaze past the competition when every MB/s matters. With incredible 4k file writes up to 85,000 IOPS, these latest drives take productivity, gaming, and multimedia applications to the next level to work in perfect symmetry with the latest enthusiast platforms.

Designed to deliver the clean, stable power your system deserves

When you build or upgrade your own system, you want a power supply that meets both your power requirements and your exacting standards for performance and noise. The entire Enthusiast Series TX V2 family has been designed to do just that. With any TX V2 PSU, you'll find the right balance between price and the features you want: high efficiency, tight voltage regulation, low ripple and noise, and thermally-controlled fan speed.

Unlike many "value-oriented" power supplies, the entire range of TX V2 power supplies are designed to continuously deliver their rated power, all the way to 50°C ambient temperature. And with the tight voltage regulation and low ripple and noise that Corsair's Enthusiast Series in known for, you'll get clean power too. No more random crashes caused by dirty or insufficient power!

All TX V2 power supplies deliver up to 85% efficiency, feature a single +12V rail for simple installation, and are compatible with the latest Intel and AMD platforms, as well as NVIDIA and AMD multi-GPU configurations. They are even ErP ready, so your system can use as little as 1W of power in standby mode (when used with an ErP-compliant motherboard)

Top–mounted Hot–swappable HDD Dock

Tool-free HDD & 5.25” ODD Bay System Offers Superior Expandability

With four 5.25” external drive bays, seven 3.5” drive bays (one external and six internal) and two internal 2.5” drive bays, the Cooler Master CM 690 II Advanced offers excellent expansion for the enthusiast and gamer alike.  The tool-free design ensures quick installation and upgrade for both your 3.5” & 5.25” devices to save you time.

GPU Retention Bracket

As graphics cards have gotten larger, they have also gotten heavier.  All that added weight can put a lot of stress on the motherboard and the graphics card itself.  Overtime this can result in damage to the graphics card and\or motherboard.  With the innovative GPU retention bracket Cooler Master has offered a clever solution to a growing problem.
