Check My specs Please

Ok i already have a few components and have ordered the rest and was wondering if all was good.

Asus P5N32-E SLi nForce 680 PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard

Intel Core 2 DUO E6600 "LGA775 Conroe" 2.40GHz (1066FSB) - Retail

BFG GeForce 8800 GTX OC 768MB

GeIL 2GB (2x1GB) PC6400C4 800MHz Ultra Low Latency DDR2 Dual Channel Kit

Corsair HX 620W ATX2.2 Modular SLI Compliant PSU

Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium 32-Bit Edition DVD - OEM

i will use my current hard drive (seagate barracuda)

Here's the thing though, i have a Briz-A E6099 Advanced Cooling Case, which is pretty cheap and nasty for sure, but has done the job for me, will everything fit ok? any advice is much appreciated.

Quickly remove that link, before a don sees.. its a competitor!!

Very nice setup there, the selections are very good. Will you be using an after-market cooler?

Thanks for that never realised, to be truthful it's the only place i could find a picture with all the specs lol, as for the cooling...u recommend anything?

thanks again

I do, others will know what I'm going to recommend lol. The Noctua NH-U12F. Its an excellent cooler, quiet and extremely efficient! Just done a review of it recently here:

Sorry read that wrong...

hehe

You will probably get a lot of people recommending Tuniq Towers on here which is fair enough they seem to be decent coolers, I decided to go for something different and discovered a treasure

Ganjaholic · 4 Mar 2007 at 23:54

to be honest im not anywhere near competent or patient enough to try overclocking just yet (dont mean i dont want to try though) but once i get my rig up and running ...and it has been for a while i might give it a pop.

Ak!ta · 4 Mar 2007 at 23:57

That thing looks huge :eek:

I have the Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro, with a 6600 and that has been really good...

Ganjaholic · 5 Mar 2007 at 00:01

Was thinking that myself lol

Ganjaholic · 5 Mar 2007 at 00:06

The BIG question is....will i need any further cooling if im not going to overclock? i mean, my top of the range case has x5 8cm cooling fans..surely that could keep a small insect cool on a hot day? lol

mishima · 5 Mar 2007 at 00:11

Good airflow and case fans will help shift the temperatures off the motherboard and CPU. The retail fan that comes with the E6600 will be fine working without overclocking - I found mine to be quite noisy though. You could just use the stock retail fan until you decide you want to overclock!

Much appreciated Mishima.

Get a Tuniq Tower, it's a decent cooler

The Noctua is very good, even though it appears to be fighting Mishima's case fans in that review
