Good =

Mobo, Case, CPU, GFX, PSU (Y)

Bad =

Stock CPU cooling!

Get an after market solution mate

sh4dy1981 · 11 Jan 2009 at 14:50

sorn21 · 11 Jan 2009 at 14:58

Eww stock cooling.. First thing I noticed

rid rid rid!

sh4dy1981 · 11 Jan 2009 at 16:53

doh. im not going to live this down using stock fan

What was the total cost of your build sh4dy? Im thinking about going the i7 route myself. Some lovely components there btw. That is certainly futureproof and should last you a couple of years. Nicely done m8

Nice build wish I could afford a rig like that

but stock heatsink :eek:

Musty Pie · 12 Jan 2009 at 13:26

im my past experience the stock heatsinks now seem to do the job. seeing as the newer CPU's run a lot cooler.
Obv if OC is something you want to tinker with then yes a diff cooler will be needed.

sh4dy1981 · 12 Jan 2009 at 13:26

£1400ish i think or there abouts. i had PSU already though. got the notua cpu cooler on order so when thats in and i tried tidying the cables some more il get some more piccys up.

Musty Pie · 12 Jan 2009 at 13:29

thats not bad at all.. I just built my new rig in the signature ... shoulda gone down same route as you though ... *facepalm*

sh4dy1981 · 12 Jan 2009 at 13:31

well i had specced a dual core set up but it got to over a grand som thought i may aswell get i7 for future proofing. lets hope my plan works out.

Musty Pie · 12 Jan 2009 at 13:38

Yeah i see where your coming from.

Mine came to £906 not including the case. TBH im super happy with it anyway.

Yours is coming on nice spend the coming weekend cable managing it (should be an ease in the 1200) and get some pics up

My 900 is proving a little difficult to cable manage at the moment.

How can you spend that much on ridiculously expensive and overkill hardware and leave the stock cooler on? :confused:

The same people who buy ridiculously expensive and overkill GPUs and leave the stock cooling system on? The fact it does its job, if he is over clocking then yes go for an aftermarket cooler but don’t just buy one for the sake of things the new Intel cooler is a good one.

Stock fan or not, that is a sweet pc guys. i just love the case. When i bought my stacker 832 i thought it would have great room, but not much room around the mobo at all, whereas the 1200 looks well spacious
