Hi All,
I'm planning on building a mini ITX machine based on the Lian Li PC-Q11B. I haven't built a machine for a while so any advice would be much appreciated!
I have all the peripherals (monitor, keyboard, mouse, etc) so just need the base unit. I also already have the following components that I'd like to re-use:
Corsair 520Watt PSU
ATI 4500 graphics (I don't game, just need HDMI and HW video decoding)
Samsung Blu Ray Drive
So, my spec so far is:
Motherboard GA-H67N-USB3-B3 (Not available at OCUK) but recommended here - http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18323913
I don't need to overclock as that CPU is easily fast enough for everything I need so would it be possible to passively cool the CPU - what would be a good heatsink? If not, could anyone recommend a small, quiet, HSF?
Also, what's the difference between the 2500 and the 2500K?
Thanks, R4z0r
