About to place order, please check my build

[Ashton187]

Hey guys, about to place my order today, would appreciate some feedback.

Core i7 930 D0

NH-D14

Patriot Viper 1600 6gb

Asus P6X58D-E

2x 1gb Asus GTX 460

Silverstone Fortress FT02 (without window)

Corsair HX 750w

Samsung Blu-ray

First off what do you guys think?

Second what about the power supply, will it be ok with this build?

I know i have another thread below this, but i just wanted to create another as this is separate to my speculation thread.

That should be a perfect build to be honest mate, Nothing bad at all.

The psu has just the right amount of connectivity with 4 pci-e 6+2 Pins. And its corsair

Turns out the NH-D14 wont fit with Patriot Viper memory.

Any suggestions on a new cooler?

 

[BloomerzUK]

I would get different memory as that cooler kicks ass.

I thought the memory was the best currently?

 

[Ghosthud1]

Memory is memory at the end of the day. just get some shorter heatsink version ram like the ripjaws.

And im sure i've seen TTL with the dominator GT's on his test rig? which has the Noc-14

 

[cbiltsouris]

we have extremely similar builds but you can get a 950 for around the same price as the 930. the asus gtx 460 is really good aswell it goes bloody good in sli. Dont change the cooler for the memory height. That noctua is the best cpu air cooler on the market and its the best one ive ever seen by far

 

[AMDFTW]

get dominator GT ram and take off the heatsink,stick with the 930 aswell as its clocks awsome so there is no point in spending more

also i would scrap the bluray player but thats just me

 

[alicarve]

yeah thats an alrite set up, you would only need the blueray player if you want to watch movies though, since the majority of software used can be downloaded or still uses dvds

 

[Ashton187]

Could i not modify the Noctua or Patriot memory to make them compatible?

 

[AMDFTW]

well if you get the dominator and take the heatsink off you still have to move the fan up,other than that there is not much you can do,unless you dremmel the heatsinks off

 

[Ashton187]

unless you dremmel the heatsinks off

Think its possible to trim the heatsinks?

 

[Ghosthud1]

warranty fail........

dominators are best in class for memory tbh mate. And all you need is an alan key to take the sinks off the top.

 

[AMDFTW]

yes it will voise ze warrenty,i mentioned it as i thought he had his heart set on that set of RAM.

but the corsair are better

 

[Hay11Mac]

I have the Dominator Ram, and I haven't removed the fins at all, I also have the Noctua D14, just mount the fan slightly higher, works a treat.

 

[Ashton187]

After quite a few hours of tweaking and changing, i've decided to change the memory to Corsair Dominator 6GB with only a £2 increase in cost.

Win win all around i think.

Yeah I can vouch for that. DDR2 Dominator here and I couldn't even get my NH 92 thing to clear. So before I got a nice skinny fan I just moved it up a bit. Worked a treat
