Try selling at HWC. Easier since most are Canadians.

You should get a better video card.

No.

I have Gigabyte X48-DQ6 and a ASUS Maximus II Formula . And I have a E7300 and a E6850. Which CPU would you put with which board? Thanks. BTW - I will overclock (learn to !!) but nothing too nuts.

Can usually get this for under $85. G.SKILL F2-8000CL5D-4GBPQ PC2-8000 4GB 2X2GB DDR2-1000 CL5-5-5-15 240PIN Dual Channel Memory Kit

Corsair is tops for support.

Unclewebb knows what he's talking about.

Bud, I think he already got it.

From your 3 choices I would take the Silverstone. However I believe it's the most expensive of the 3.

But if the case comes with bad/loud fans.......

Sorry I was thinking of Thermaltake Spedo. A few reviews have said it's noisy.

Try caulking.

Every review says those 230mm fans are extremely loud. Hard to believe undervolting them down to 500 would make them quiet enough for a "quiet" case.

But a pain in the ass to install.

Thanks guys. I just sold that video card and the guy said he wasn't sure it was going to fit in his case when he picked it up. I had sent him pictures of it but he's more newb than me ! He couldn't remember the exact name of his case but he was sure it was an Antec and it came with a 380W power...

Will a Palit GeForce 9600GT Sonic 700MHZ 512M 2.0GHZ fit in a Antec NSK4480 case ? Thanks.

I have a Gigabyte HD 4870 and was getting between 69C and 71C at idle. Made speed to 30% and now it's at 42C. When I try 40% it goes to 32C !!! Thanks.

Geez these new cards sure do need alot of juice. Thanks for the quick replies.

Both ?

I bought a Gigabyte 4870 and I already have a Corsair HX620. Which cables do I use to power up the video card ? Thanks.

Careful some boards are picky with OCZ ram. Maybe just get 8gb ram. And intead of quad get e8400 or e8500. The money you save can be put towards a better quality monitor and/or modular power supply.

yes stock intel cooler.

Hey. I just finished putting a new pc together and I'm running Prime95. I have a E4500. Core Temp is giving me temps of 54/55 for each core and I'm currently at test 7. Are those temps safe? What would be dangerous? Thanks.

Which cpu heatsink do you guys have in there? Is it pushing out the case?

I know I said price didn't matter but it's also the less expensive ! From what I've read the BIOS is a little more complicated than others.

Price doesn't matter. DFI http://www.directcanada.com/products/?sku=11330BD8348&vpn=LP%20LT%20X48-T2R&manufacture=DFI ASUS http://www.directcanada.com/products/?sku=10530BD0838&vpn=RAMPAGE%20FORMULA&manufacture=ASUS GIGABYTE...

Since you're already using Corsair memory why not get a Corsair power supply? Modular: Corsair CMPSU-620HX 620W ATX Triple 12V 50A 24PIN ATX Modular Power Supply 120MM Fan 2X PCI-E Regular: Corsair TX750W 750W ATX 12V 60A 24PIN ATX Power Supply Active PFC 120MM Fan

I think that is the first I'v seen E8200 in stock anywhere.

A local shop here near Ottawa (Yes Canada) has E8200, E8400 and E8500 in stock. i believe they ship anywhere in Canada. And they price match. http://www.orleanscomputers.com/shop/Default.asp

What do you mean by "deactivated"?

Please delete. Thanks.

Does anybody presently use this board? How does it perform? Can't seem to find any complete reviews on it.

Does anybody presently use this motherboard? Which memory?

Can't you read?:eek: He was told by BFG that it would take 15 to 20 days to process it once it was received. Can't blame Canada for that. Anytime anything like pc hardware is shipped and has to go through customs it's always delayed a bit. No getting around that. And it doesn't matter if it's...

More and more people are having problems with their Abit IP35 Pro. Plus Abit's support is the absolute worse. So hope you don't have to RMA. BTW - I haven't had any problems (yet !) with my Abit IP35 Pro.

Have you considered this one? Ultra X3 ULT40064 1000-Watt Power Supply - ATX, SATA-Ready, PCI-E Ready, Energy Efficient, Modular

I'm thinking of upgrading to Vista Ultimate 64. I have a large collection of MP3s. Will I still be able to play these and make cds?

Then I guess you should get an Antec :rolleyes:
