Hey all. I've got a console client running on each core of my e7200@ 3.2Ghz I read the SMP client was best with quads and that it still has problems... so wasnt sure if I should go with that. For now I've also got the GPU client (running at higher priority than console so it gets CPU) folding away o...

Seems I'll have to get one... just concerned still as to whether it'll fit.

Other solution would be attaching my spare 120mm nexus to it... don't know how I'd do that safely.

Ive confirmed that it is the 4670 fan by disconnecting it and booting up. Ironically, I could hear a vacuum running in my neighbours house, which I couldnt before. :lol: Its not quiet by anyones standards, so maybe it is the fan or the fan voltage controller at fault. Perhaps even a different model ...

Thanks again for all the replies. Everything arrived and put together yesterday. I stuck with the P5Q Pro and went with OCZ memory in the end. Arctic Cooling Xtreme was a nightmare to get in. Struggled to get the mounting bracket push pins locked until I thought to try using some thin pliers... whic...

I just put a Palit 4670 in my new build. I'd read it was "quieter" than other 4670's... so I thought together with the catalyst fan control I could have it near silent when not under load. Wishful thinking that was. Even at the lowest speed setting it sounds like a vacuum. I've read the accelero s2 ...

Thanks very much for all the replies. Checked out the ATI 4670 and it should be fine for my needs. Found one that supposedly has a "quieter" fan, and it can be user controlled. If it can be made near silent when idle and isnt too noisy under load then it'll be fine for me. Dropped down to a C2D E720...

Hi all. I'm putting a new build together, keeping much of what I already have. Here's what I've got down so far - NEW ASUS P5QL Pro Intel C2D E7300 Arctic Cooling Freezer XTREME Asus 9600GT and Accelero S1 2 x 1 GB PC2-6400 / PC2-8500 The rest Seasonic 430w s12 v2 Antec SLK3000 w/ 1 Nexus 120mm fan ...

Assuming the temp readings are accurate, they seem fine. But the fact it gets worse in summer and during intensive tasks suggests something might be overheating.

Is your northbridge being cooled by a fan or passively?

Also is your hard disk reaching high temps at all?

I ordered everything yesterday Kizz. I did step up a little to a GeForce 6600, anything more would have sent me over budget and I'm not a hardcore gamer anyway. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Athlon is a 3200 Venice.

k, thanks guys.

Based on various opinions and reviews this is what I have planned for my new system. Just wanted to get some thumbs up before I take the plunge and order everything. :) Its mainly for DVD's/music and some gaming. Case - Antec SLK3000 with rear and front fan grills removed PSU - SeaSonic S12-430 Mobo...
