    Looking to upgrade a (mostly) audio PC..

    Hi all! So i have two questions: 1) I have a setup that im really happy with, runs smooth (5 years now! cant believe it), but some of the newest synths are getting quite crazy in terms of CPU usage. sometimes a single instance of a VST can use 40% of CPU.. basically, i'd like to nudge up...

    so the p6t has 3 fan headers.. but whats the difference between chassis and power fan? there are the 3 pin headers on the motherboard, but the fans in the case came with the 4 pin molex connectors.. do i connect the fans to the motherboard, or to the PSU? and which fan goes to which connector...

    yes, i understand.. maybe not a good idea, though i dont plan on doing it without some pretty serious help, be it online or a friend. i dont know anything really about overclocking, but the little i have read does not seem too complicated. also, the TI firewire i know all about, sadly...
