Hi everyone, long time reading this forum has helped me a lot 🙂

I finally have a question my self

Im getting a new setup using the DFI SLI board with an AMD 64 FX55, my number 1 concern is the noise lvl of my new setup I cant stand hearing a computer whirling away so I was looking at silent solutions for the AMD64 and found this: Arctic freezer 64 ? for a review see http://www.insanetek.com/index.php?page=arcticcf64
Now this looks just thing but in my opinion it looks very very heavy to have hanging off your £500 AMD cpu anyone have any experience with this? Also does it take up a lot of room? Im worried I wont be able to fit in my 6800 Ultra with that bulky item.

Im sure its fine just looking for some users input

My new setup ? opinions wanted

Im wondering if anyone can help me with a quick question Im looking at getting a new setup the motherboard I was looking at is the
DFI LanParty NF4 SLI-DR can anyone tell me the difference between that board and the DFI LanParty UT NF4 SLI-D
Apart from cost
Another concern is the fan on the chip set would it be possible to replace it with a zalaman heatsink with no fan?

The rest of my setup is:
Athlon 64 FX55 1Mb Processor + Fan & Heatsink

Corsair 1GB DDR XMS3200XL Pro TwinX (2x512MB) CAS2 (MY-050-CS)
Corsair 1GB DDR XMS3200XL Pro TwinX (2x512MB) CAS2 (MY-050-CS)

XFX GeForce 6800 Ultra 256MB DDR3 TV-Out/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail (PVT45FUD) (GX-038-XF)

Will this RAM be stable in my new system? And what min W PSU should I go for as I was looking at 420W Enermax noisetaker- Im running 1 hard drive and 1 dvd rom in it.

And finally does anyone have a release date for the AMD 64 FX55 in the UK?

Thanks in advance

Regards SOS
