Any recommendations for a Northbridge Cooler that will work well with this board, 8800GTS, NT-06 Nitrogon CPU cooler, Silverstone OP-750 PSU and a Sugo SG-01E case? (I can't think of anything else that could concievably get in the way of the NB cooler)
Thanks
...with Silverstone Op750 PSU
eVGA 8800GTS
Nitrogon NT06 CPU cooler
I can't think of anything else that might get in the way.
I'd like to bring my Northbridge temps down a 'lil bit.
Any suggestions for a cooler.? Active or passive, doesn't matter. One that simply does a good job will do...
Gentlemen (Ladies too)...
I am simply asking if anyone has seen a review of this board. Nothing else. I do not require any overclocking abilities, whatsoever. What I DO require is a serial port and the use of both PCI slots, even with a dual slot video card...
Proposed system, will it fit? (I will NOT be overclocking)...
Case: X-Gene HTPC
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E6600
MoBo: ASUS P5B-VM
CPU Fan: Thermaltake Blue Orb II
HDD: Seagate Barracuda ES 400GB SATAII
Optical Drive: LG GSA-H22L (2 of them...symmetry - my quirk)
Video: EVGA 8800GTX...
OK folks PUHLEEZE none of that "Why wouldn't you install insert hardware model here instead, as it's a more powerful product (in a higher price range)" type questions.
If you don't mind JUST tell me if it:
a) will work
b) will work with mods
c) won't work at all
d) there is...
Just getting some ideas together. I want to build one of these beauties into a powerful system, with lots of future "prooffedness". To that end, I'd like to stick 2 x LG GSA-H22L optical drives into one and a Silverstone OP 1000 PSU, among other things. My question being, after mounting the...
Now THIS looks like a classy case. I'm having a change of heart and think I might just go with this one for my next build. Much more solidly built than a Q-Pack or MicroFly and doesn't have that "shot full of holes" (air vents) look that the SG-01 has. Also, it seems to me that there's great...
I'm looking to build another SFF. This time with either:
a) a Silverstone SG01, or
b) An Ultra Microfly
In order to "future proof" I ABSOLUTELY want to install a good solid 850w power supply. "Single rail" preferred, as are 80mm fan(s) (not critical though). I really DO do a lot of...
WOW...thanks folks. Thanks soooo much for your help. I'll use a 'lilo bit 'o everyones advice and change to...
1) MOBO:
ASUS A8N-VM CSM
(The NorthBridge heatsink IS close to the CPU...buuuuuuuut I love Asus boards, they've
never let me down!)
2) Case Cooling...
My first "kick at the cat", as far as a SFF system goes. Definetly not my first build *lol*. I'm looking for really good solid speed in general + a system that has room to grow later, ie: upgraded CPU / Vid / RAM. I welcome your opinion. However...please..."You're out to lunch" doesn't really...
