It seems like he is not overclocking so anywhere he goes the system should be the same. I suggest going with dell or alienware. I strongly suggest he build his own computer... It will come out to around only 1.1k with the same parts he wants a ds3, p5b or s3 motherboard.

I find f5e the most stable.

Antec P180 3 120mm fans, sound deadening panels, $99 at frys/outpost!

Just did the same thing as you! And my results are the same. I dunno if the temps are going to stay this way. I'll update this in a few hours! Right now only 47c load!

artic cooling pro 7 :)

I bought this case because it seemed pretty good for the price. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811147011 Nice design and simple layout. Anyways the problem is the case features two intake fans in the front and one outtake fan in the back. (all 80mm) plus a side duct...

wow 55c? My old P4 only runs at 40c and its a compaq lol. I'm still waiting on my e6300 to come. http://xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=106951 compare yours to some of the peoples here

http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview...atid=28&threadid=1910382&enterthread=y According to this thread a lot of the temp reading software arn't correct.

I'm no pro but the following can be the problem heat or ram. I personally think it is the heat.

I am looking at the basic for $160 on newegg but it is $220 at frys :( Was looking at the p5b and it dosn't seem to have updated bios?

Damn that board is $220 at frys. I guess i might order that or the DS3. I shouldn't of bought the OCZ ram. I might return it to outpost, but what kinda ram do you recommend?

Yeah, i got time but i just wanted to get a system up and running by next week before school starts. My parts are coming monday/tuesday. I'm thinking of just going to frys and buying the motherboard. Does the Asus P5B $150 version have a better bios and stability?

Which bios version do you recommend? The retail f4 or f4c beta? I have seen people have issues like http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=111521 ect. I bought the ram on outpost so returning it is possible but would take time. What do you guys recommend?

i heard that board can't even overclock over 1ghz? Also that board dosn't work with the OCZ ram right?
