    help needed...

    im just ordering a Thermalright SLK-900U heatsink for under £28.. i cant find any others as cheap or in stock and i have read that the 947U isnt as good as the 900U/A model so i figured that would be ideal! i bought it from here just another question, would a antec 480 true blue be more than...

    help needed...

    well like i said before, i was worried about having not enough power and that was why i was going to go with the 550W psu, i figured it would give me the best amount of stabilty and even tho it would perhaps cost more than a lot of the gear i have in the pc, £100 was something that if i want...

    help needed...

    i was more concerned with having more than enough power in reserve more than anything, hence the big 550W'er.. i was a little confused with the SLK-900A/U... i didnt really know what was the difference! at the moment my temps are about 42c in the bios, i use motherboard monitor and that can...

    cooling suggestions..

    the noise isnt to bad at the moment but then i have the side of the case, slightly off and my temps are very good, 39C under a full load with my cpu clocked at 2.1ghz.. (10x210 @ 1.625vcore in the bios) i dont want to have to pay out twice when it comes to the psu, id just rather pay out more...

    cooling suggestions..

    well thats ideal!! im just intending to use filters and cleaning them out, i dont know if my girl friend would like a darn great radiator fan on the side of the case! shes already impressed with the amount of air the 2 120mm fans move!! i cant wait to get this thing up and working i really cant..

    well at last, something i have gotten right!!! i look forward to getting something sorted out, 2.1ghz is killing me ;) i wish i had a little more..

    cooling suggestions..

    i well im had read that a slk-900a and a tornado @ 2600rpm was near silent, so im guessing that would be ideal :) plus it was keeping the temps right down.. this is the link i was saying about..

    cooling suggestions..

    if i was going to do it, i was going to put each fan i have on a separate channel anyway, would this be a good way of doing it or not?

    cooling suggestions..

    is there a lot of difference between the two? i just want to have more than enough of a 'space' i guess, i just want to make sure i have more in reserve than i actually need. i dont like having to buy things twice, so i prefer to pay that little bit more and have more than i actually need.. i...
