Although i think it's good to have recommended brands/kits/etc, i also think it's good that he aigo left it out. Reason being when messing arond with this, I think you really need to know what you're doing. I'm not a water user (yet), but i've been reading so much about this that I kinda know...
to the OP, for the Asus boards I would go after the P5Q-Pro.
I'm also doing mobo shopping right now, and based on my research here's why:
The p5Q is the base model for the Asus P45 line. What's important is the placement of various sinks and connectors on the mobo. The p5q has pretty...
i slipped.. i meant slightly more expensive.. haha not cheaper. It's at 109.99 right now (after $40 IR).
As far as the WD Raptor, i thought access time would mean a lot. But it seems you're right in that the new WD 640 (w/ 2 320 GB platters) has a much faster transfer rate. It's just...
Here's the review for the Enermax PSU: http://www.silentpcreview.com/article806-page1.html
Anyhow, I figure the DDR2-1066 is slightly cheaper than the DDR2-800 which is why I thought about going for that. The one reason I didn't look at the P5Q Pro is because I read that big tower sinks may...
Hello everyone, I am planning on building a new computer in the fall. I figured if I started looking up the parts right now, I wouldn't need to do as much research later on and can simply modify this list.
CPU:
- E8400 3.0 ghz
Reason: seems to be the best bargain
CPU cooler:
- Xigmatek...
not sure where you get your info from, but most user reviews I read regarding the Coolit Freezone havent been very good. For the most part it looks cool but it's a gimmick.
Since i've been doing a ton of research on CPU cooling....
One of the better air coolers is the TRUE or Xigmatech S1283. Either of those should be better than the Zalman.
For water cooling, you have to build your own. It seems right now the MCP355 w/ XPS hard top is the one of the...
You have the TJ07 listed twice?
Anyhow, I am looking into purchasing the TJ09. I love the sleek appearance of it. The Cosmos is cool too but that thing si pretty heavy. If you are sure you wont be caryring your computer anywhere, then Cosmos might be better. They have rails in there that...
Thanks Aigo, I sent him an email.
Hardwarrior, I looked on the Xtreme forums and it seems the XPS acrylic top res is getting pretty good reviews. But I have to wonder is it good to have the reservoir at the bottom of your loop instead of at the top? I suppose it doesn't really matter since...
I dont think I will be shipping overseas. I mocked up an order on Petras site, and it says i will be charged tax (CA).
As for the MCR, i dont think I can fit it on the radSupport09 rails. According to Silverstone, only a handful of 2x120 radiators are supported:
1. Black ICE GT...
I've posted here a while ago and now I'm very close to building a new WC setup and just need to stamp out some details.
My future build that i expect to run the loop through:
mobo: Abit IP35-Pro
cpu: E8500 or E8600
case: Silverstone TJ-09 with Radsupport09...
