    Ok, I have a Lian Li case, and I have the tray out and I mounted the MOBO, CPU (X2 3800+), and stock heatsink and fan. I guess my first question is this. Does my retail CPU come with thermal compound? On the bottom of the heatsink, there is a raised piece of material that coincides with the...

    Help with MOBO for this PC

    While I may overclock in the future, I don't need a serious overclock. So a board that specializes in overclocking will be less interesting to me if it doesn't do all the other things very well (such as RAM compatibility, etc) I basically want a board that is not "finicky" at all.

    Review My New PC

    Ok then, if I change the MOBO, what do you suggest? And how would you rate my monitor for games? I don't want to get a vid card that is too much for the monitor to handle, so I guess good, smart choices is what I am aiming for, but at the same time future proof. I planned on probably...

    For Bobthelost: 1. I prolly won't be overclocking the comp. What conflicts are you talking about with the MOBO and soundcard? It seems they would have a fix for this by now. 2. I got SLI because I want to play the best games and have em look the best, and if it has SLI capability, I...
