cool thanks a lot

now just gotta sell my q6600/ram/mobo -

On the subject of TIM, I have some artic silver which I bought last year would it have 'gone off' or would it still be ok to use?

 

[doggles]

thanks for all your help.

so gonna get this PSU Antec CP 850W Modular Power Supply

i have an antec 1200 case so it'll fit.

unless anyone can suggest a better one.

ideally i'd like to keep it sub £100

Those Akasa Apache's are meant to be better than the Noctua fans, lots of people on here highly recommend them.

i read a review on pc fans in customer pc and the akassa's came out quite high i think

 

[doggles]

the akasa ones?

if so what are they like?
