Cooling would run me $50 - $75 at least I'm assuming.
New video card budget, I'd say $250 - $300 if the card would last me awhile and my CPU wouldn't bottleneck.
Hi Folks,
Since I received the Starcraft II Beta, Ive been back on PC gaming. During gaming, my OEM cooling on the 8800GT sounds like a jet engine. I dont have issues with running the game at the highest settings (CPU overclocked to 3.6ghz).
Would it be worthwhile to upgrade to a new...
I have a 245BW and the monitor is perfect. No backlight bleeding or dead pixels on the first panel I received. The only annoyance is the lack of 1:1 pixel mapping as I frequently plug my PS3 and use it as a Blu Ray player (faces show stretched vertically). As a PC monitor, I see no flaws at...
Good to know that it is not me; I have tried this on two P5Q-E's with most updated firmwares and have very high temps (especially for a 45nm chip)
Yes, most recent P5Q-E firmware (I believe 0803)
P5Q-E with E8400.
To all P5Q-xxx owners, how do you find the temperature readings?
I had fairly high temps on stock cooling and did not think twice about it but now that I have my TRU-120 Black (with Noctua 120mm fan), it still seems fairly high. Temps listed below are with the TRU-120 on a moderate...

Anyone have this ram running in the ASUS M3A7-EMH AM2 motherboard? Could not find the compatibility list for this combo...
Will be running with Athlon 64 X2 4800+.
Thanks!
I would suggest the AC Accelero S1 Rev 2. Even though it is fanless, your case fan blowing directly on it will provide sufficient cooling as the heatsink is a large surface area.
Good luck and let us know how you do.
