New Goodies

Just ordered some new goodies for my rig:

Getting delivered tomorrow, thought I'd give you a taster before the build photos

Will be completely upgrading over the next few months.

Next month will be 4890 then CPU, mobo & RAM and a SSD after that.

I'll keep this thread updated as I go

why three different types of fan.

the P12 is to add a second to the CPU cooler. There are two 1200rpm fans for the front intake and a quieter 800rpm for over the graphics card (doesn't need to move as much air there).

I'm not crazy, honest!

you might as well of gone for a 1200 over teh gfx it wouldn't of added any more noise..

but fair enough. Should be cool and quite. What coolers you got on the gfx card.

It's just an 8800 ultra with stock cooler ATM, I was looking at aftermarket coolers that fit both the 8800 ultra and 4890 which I'll be getting soon, but they seem few and far betwwen, so I'll just wait to get the 4890 and stick a decent aftermarket on it.

the 800RPM Noctua will be on the case side above the graphics to help cool it.
