Hi guys,
Am on the verge of ordering the rest of my first upgrade in a couple of years (yes i've slipped on my obsessive upgrading
) to go with the Conroe E6600 i already have on preorder, and am hoping for some input into my build. What i'm looking for in this machine is quiet foremost and maybe a little bit of overclocking, 2.8-3.0ghz seems reasonable if review samples are to be believed.
So I'm just not too sure about the motherboard and cpu cooler really.. the Badaxe should be good, but then i'm concerned about the mosfet cooling issues that might arise from having a cpu heatsink with a sidemounted fan like the Scythe - which raises another potential issue with one of these heatsinks, will it fit under the Lian Li's cpu cooler ducting thing okay?
Anyway here's my shopping cart as it stands, also if i've forgotten anything feel free to point it out (for example i think i may need a few 3 to 4 pin adaptors for the fans as OcUK only seem to sell 3 pin fans these days and i can't imagine plugging 3 x 120mm case fans into the motherboard is possible let alone healthy).
