Hi,
After researching a lot of benchmarks regarding the E6400 and how it overclocks I have decided upon purchasing this chip.
I now need a motherboard which is compatible with quad core in the future, as I will most likely want to upgrade when the prices drop a bit. I have my eyes on the ASUS P5N, but a lot of people have this board, am I right in thinking these are a bit too 'mainstream'? I'm not mocking it, but are there better boards available out there around the same price mark?
Regarding cooling, I only want air as to put it simply, I can't be bothered with anything else. I have my eyes on the Zalman CNPS9500-AT Aero Flower as that has had great reviews too, although I am still not fully aware of what is available out there.
Ram i'll pretty much decide upon when purchasing my order, that's simple enough, ratings are easy to distinguish aswell as the good brand names such as Geil.
So if anybody could give me a few pointers or suggestions regarding the above; I'd be very grateful.
