New Pc - Plz Check Specs For Me!

[cjsavvy]

Now, A suggestion to anyone who gets a new heatsink, is read this article about lapping the heatsink, for better contact with the processor to heatsink, and processr to thermal paste to heatsink.

Wow! Great Tip John! I think ill give that mod a go after Ive set up my PC, see what difference it makes.
What is the Thermaltake Xaser III case like cooling-wise? Is it a fairly well cooled case by those 7 fans?

See my thread " New PC", I've done a bunch of work on the cooling in that case.

The stock setup is not particularly efficient.
Seems like it should be with seven fans, but it's not.

@ cjsavvy, are you still going for the jet 7 cooler, i was reading reviews for it and it sucks, seriously, the older aero 7 is far better and the other one i posted is even better than that (i just dciding where to get it from now or if the volcano 12 is worth the extra £3 )

[cjsavvy]

I'll prob get the Volcano 12 Kunal - looks like a good buy and is only 17 quid! Bargain! Which CRT would you suggest from www.dabs.com/uk ? Ive given up on the idea of a LCD. Want a 19" CRT pref. around 200 notes and black if possible.

yes, i notice that he is goin towards air cooling, so don't bitch at me virtualbody, but i would recommend water cooling. u got a monster pc, and ur gonna oc, so wc would be nice. saves u all those fans and stuff. and some parts u can even get used, like the tubes, and water blocks. used is cheaper, and the quality is the same.

but, if u insist with the air cooling, then wat u got should be fine.

and yea, ebuyer has some cheaper stuff.

Abu,
Is your system water cooled?

If so, details please.

[Virtualbody1234]

so don't bitch at me virtualbody

I won't bitch at you if you post information that is factual and thought out. Just posting about something you don't really know about or even think about then you'll likely hear from me, abu.

So, answer clockers question. Is your system water cooled?

Edit: (I know it isn't)

im still deciding which one is the better of the volcano 11 and 12 (someone tell me if they know ) i know the heatsinks better and the 12 and i think the fan however is better on the 11 as it has more fins (am i right in thinking that)

im not to good with monitors but will look for you, i think ebuyer is really cheap on them however
