Hehe, like bringing this thread back from the dead.
I have to thank you guys for your comments and critque.
I Made some Changes and ordered this:
CPU: AMD 64 3000+ Venice OEM
PSU: OCZ Modstream 450W
MoBo: Asus A8N-E
Chipset Cooler: Akasa AK-210
HD: Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 Plus...
My motherboard is a bit weird i think. It says it can handle agp 4x but i cant put it on 4x.. it runs on 2x.. tried everything.
Im upgrading to a whole new AMD system but i still wannah know what the best socket 370 motherboard around is. Coz i might pass this system on to family or a friend...
I would say swap that 3200+ WInny for Venice.. Newer and better less heat.
DOnt go for a crappy Maxtor HD, but Go Seagate or WD. ASUS A8N-E is a good motherboard with one pci-e slot and 5 normal pci slots.. available in europe where im over @.. dunno about the USA though.
Here i have ASUS Tusl2-C WITHOUT C-Media chip... with crappy sound card.. normally it comes with that chip.. still dunno why it isnt on it.. Anyway.. with this i can overclock my 1300@1550 stable.. so it pretty nice overclocker plus it has 3 memory slots..
Well, Copper can take more heat.. or transfer more heat so your core stays cooler :cool: AlCu is a mix from ALuminium and Copper which can take less heat so it gets hotter. The difference in temperatures would b about a few degrees celcius.. like 1-4. So if your not a real overclocker but want...
Zalman 700-cu for videocard.
Zalman 7700-cu for cpu
Coolermaster or Papst for case fans ( Again.. look for some good silent fans.. reviews on forums or threads about it. )
That Zalman, again, is for your cpu.. it will b cool n quiet, vidcard: also take a zalman.. 700-cu.. also quiet. case-fan: Coolermaster, Papst or any other great and silent case fans. just nose around on the forum for some information on this.
DFI is picky on the memory.. certain brands work BAD with it.. ( some ppl say it works with them so its picky ) Ppl here suggest the chaintech with nForce 4 Ultra. i dont like the lay-out of it since im taking some nice cooler for my vid card which takes 1 pci slot for the cooler and 1 for the...
Argh!!!! Not THAT one plz.. Better get some Zalman or Termalright 90 something.. dunno how its called. These will cool it down even more.. better bang for the buck. Besides.. these things have the nasty habbit to quit workin after a few months..
Ahh well.. Some 120mm fan will b about 10 bucks, maybe 15 i dunno what the prices are over there.. Might look around on forums for the most quiet one ey.. Coolermaster, Papst or something like that.. Gotta check if theres commin some case fans with ya case..
