p4 cooling and case

Another vote for the Thermalright, and Artic Silver 3. Yet, if you're not overclocking the stock equipment is fine enough.

the Kingwin KT-436s' cooling fans

Hi, i am wondering if the cooling fans on the front of this case http://images2.newegg.com/productimage/11-170-007-03.JPG would interfere with the rest of the cooling of the case if two hard drives were placed in the front of them. Thanks in advance.

What was it like deciding on your first case and part cooling? Case and parts cooling has me in a rut.

After reading tons of articles and message board posts on cooling (maybe more than a person should be allowed to read), still haven't come to a conclusion about what to kind of fans to use, and some things just don't make sense. There are too many variations on what cooling to get, and I know...

Need help choosing P4 MOBO for first build

The P4PE is pretty decent motherboard, it has lots of features and highly upgradeable. The same can be said for the ABIT IT7 + Max. The ABIT IT7 + MAX is also a good motherboard, some say it's better than the P4PE although it is more expensive. motherboard - the Asus P4PE - least-expensive of...

Best case for cooling?

The Super Flower is virtually impossible to find but could be bought from a foreign dealer. That is not good! More hardware suppliers need to get the Super Flowers (newegg where art thou?)! On the Kingwin KT-436 front, it looks awesome. Reading some good things about it. What are your opinions...

Best case for cooling?

I'm trying to look for the Direction/Super Flower 201S case that was reviewed on THG , but I can't find it. Could anyone recommend a better case for cooling than the Antec 1080, because it worries me when it comes to cooling. Coolermaster sounds nice (which model?), if it weren't so expensive...

POLL: Which Motherboard would you pick?

My vote goes for the ASUS P4PE 845 board and ABIT IT7 with firewire! At least until the Canterwood boards are released...But who knows they might be buggy and it would still be the P4PE or IT7!

cooling the Antec 1080 and "best" manufacturers for case fans?

Thanks all for your help! I've looked into the NMB fans http://www.svc.com/80nmb253pinf.html . I keep hearing about some people having problems when ordering from svc, though, but they look reputable enough to me. I'm curious to know what hard drive fans work well, and if side fans are used...

cooling the Antec 1080 and "best" manufacturers for case fans?

A friend of mine asked me to help him build a new computer, we both agreed on an Antec 1080 (from newegg.com) for now. I'm wondering if anyone has had problems or favors the Antec 1080 case for cooling? I saw a chart recently that showed the Antec pretty high up on the heat factor. The Antec...

To cool or not to cool (a few questions)

Has anyone ever experienced having a PC without cooling? Did you overclock? Is it necessary to buy a cooling fan for the CPU if you're in the 2.4 GHz range?

can't decide on a video-editing rig (4 questions)

I appreciate your responces. About the RAM - Corsair is said to make good memory for overclocking , but is it good for just starting out with no overclocking? I'm not planning on overclocking right off the bat, but if Crucial is good for overclocking (I know it is good for non-overclockers..)...

SiS 655 *2-18-03 UPDATE* MSI, Gigabyte and ASUS Done

Duvie, how's the video editing going? Your system looks pretty impressive - I'm planning on upgrading my computer from a 400 MHz and do some heavy video editing. Would you wait for a Springdale/Canterwood chipset or is your setup good enough as it is? I'm thinking of getting an ASUS P4PE mb...
