Everything ok with these 4 pieces ?

[imported_Harbinger]

thinking of getting these stuff together:

1) DFI LanParty NF4 SLI-DR
2) GeIL ONE 2x 512 BH5 (the CAS 1.5 thingies)
3) BFG GeForce 7800 GTX OC
4) Thermalright XP120

I am familiar with DFI + XP120 issues, problem is I already have XP120 on my current rig and since I am in love with it wont change it and since this DFI seems to be the best "enthousiast" nf4 sli mobo seems like an one-way choice.
Any1 knows the height on the geils ? couldnt find some info on that but by the looks of them I think I am safe within the 40mm thresshold on DFI + XP120.
Also (a bit out of place question :/ ) , BH5 or TCCD ? (talking about the geils)

Other than that any other known combatibility issues ?

thanks in advance.

P.S. I did my best to search the forums for similar threads covering my questions, please dont flame me badly in case there is one 🙁

Yep, if you want to f**k with DFI's bs....... Wait a couple of weeks, there will be some new choices.........

Hmm... if you are goign to shell out that much for new ram when your old ram is that good already you might as well go for 2 gigs.

Care to elaborate ? 🙂

Yup thats always a possibility (not that I really need 2gigs atm and could always wait for a future price drop)

Those OCZ modules wheren't the most wise choice after all (should have not listened to a friend about em) , even at DDR400 they wont even operate at 2-3-3-6 (kinda frustrating for such expensive modules). Sure they overclock greatly but 3-4-4-8 are not that good , are they ? 🙁

And good for me a friend is building a new rig and convinced him to buy my mobo/mem/gfx card (for "friendly" price ofc) so I thought this is a good opportunity to get on the PCIe train (a bit earlier than I expected 😛).

So after some initial reviewing the DFI seems to be the right choice (got dissapointed with my A8V with overclocking capabilities), MSI K8N is not combatible with XP120 and Abit Fatal1ty basicaly offers worse overcloking than DFI , has all those little fans aka more noise and is more expensive.

About memory I dont really care about the 1.5 cas on Geil but I got a really good price for em so why not (good latencies at last woohoo).

And I guess nothing to complain about BFG.

I just wanted to know if there are any known problems with these new toys I wanna get 🙂
