If you're rich enough to put 5k on a pc than you definitely have enough toys in your house to entertain you for a month while you wait for conroe/price drops.
i get idle temps in the 40s and max 55-61c with coolnquiet on. the lever doesnt go down all the way, but the sides are pushed down.
amd 3700+, a8n5x, 7900gt, thermaltake 500watts, and amd hsf
I want to clean up my cpu and put in a better hsf.
what should I buy? it needs to be easy to install...
asus a8n5x
amd 3700+
hsf that came with the proc
idle temps=high 40s
idle temps with cooln quiet=low 40s/high 30s
my room is very warm and the pc is next to the monitor(only other spot would be the floor)
me and my nephew made a system the older day and we had problems locking in a heatsink/fan on my motherboard correctly.
we used artic silver and the retail hsf. the heatsink is locked on the sides but the lever doesnt go down all the way like in the pictures in the amd manual. i'm thinking of...
In febuary of this year my crusty 2.8 system was having problems installing haxed xp versions. so I did the right thing and bought an oem copy and HD. well, that doesn't work either
I take the pc to the cheapest repair place in town and they figure out it's my cpu. I buy a new cpu and have them...
I ordered a nice 939 medium budget gaming rig today and i'm very pleased. as long as i take care of this system it will run fine for years on win xp(i don't care about vista).conroe would be better but it's uncertain tech and definitely pricier.
mature is the way to go

2 gigs ram

my pc died on me(2.8 p4, everything else was crap) so i'm desperate for a pc this month.
