ok i just bought a 6400+ black edition for the fun of it.

I got a good OC to 3556 and it seems stable ATM.

I have the big xclio case with 2 360mm fans on the side and the fans are getting annoying :) i also have a loud loud fan on my 8800gtx.

current case :

So im wondering.. should i use watercooling? Is there a nice system that will fit my 6400+ and future phenoms? will it also fit the 8800gtx and the new 9800gtx video cards? Will any of those fit into this case?

i really like that case ^^ i built it for a customer at my shop and now i want one. Not sure if wtercooling will fit into it.. maybe mount something on the top?


I plan on getting a phenomx4 in a few weeks..... does anyone wanna convince me not to get it? will the new intel chips beat the phenom? ''sorry for all the quesiotns... hopefully someone will answer them for me :)

It really depends on the price and demand. If they sell out quickly, then the price may remain high for several months. I wouldn't overpay for one, especially if benchmarks are similar. The new 790 boards are just appearing, but very expensive. I was interested in a low power version of phenom, but amd tech support wouldn't give out any info.
