just realised its the same board youve got i think.

Is yours doing alright???

I think ive got my pair now.

 

[dlads]

Oh and another thing, what about cooling and a psu?? I've not long bought a pair of led fans for my case (120mm and an 80mm) I also just bought a bloody amd heatsink (arctic cooling) I imagine that this heatsink will not fit onto an intel cpu.

Also i will need some Ram as my old ram is ddr1.

Any ideas within a reasonable price boundary, (not too cheap but not breaking my banks a55.

Cheers for your advice too.

sorry i forgot to say i have a 400w psu 24 pin.

I dont think its the best but voltage have always been very stable and within more than acceptable boundaries.

If you are still planning on OC'n a C2D you may want to get a better PSU. Overclocking does not actually draw a ton more from the PSU but when you are operating the board and CPU at there max it would not be good to get a spike or such causing a crash.

The usual is the 500 - 600 W region unless you are planning on popping SLI top end cards in there in the near future.

Power 550+ youll be fine, just make sure its a good stable psu, you wont get one for une 70 tbh.

the board ive got is a bit of an overkill ffor the rest of the specs tbh

ps: yeh this board is an amazing overclocker

 

[dlads]

Ok no probs, ill have to get the psu the month after then, cos my finances are goiong to plummet after this lol, any suggestions on cooling or RAM?

 

[dlads]

Sorry i made a mistake on the e8600 i ment e8500, the e8600 is £204 from scan.

The one is saw was an e8500 and its £142, i would like to get the e8600 but is the extra £60 worth the difference??

 

[dlads]

Oh an will the AMD heatsink i bought fit onto the intel cpu chip?? its a pain in the ass the way they dont make them one fits all.
