case fans x2 - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FG-021-NB&tool=3

i basically no nothing about pcs, wana play dayz and a few others, just played football manager on my laptop for the last 10 years lol, once a get my additional graphics card im planning on overclocking the lips off it, concerned about the h60 but it will save room rather than a big fan cooler and be quieter once i replace the stock fan as its going in my bedroom

michael83 · 9 Sep 2012 at 18:18

im pretty much restricted to 266mm for the graphics card due to the case ive got, i beleive the x3 is 280mm as i looked at that one, and is 650 ok for xfire as the one i was looking at was 750w? not many people like them concealed cooling units from what ive read, ive got like a grand ish to spend

michael83 · 9 Sep 2012 at 18:24

basically ive dropped the h60 and the mobo and put that mobo you both recomended and the fan cooler in the second post, works out the same pretty much

michael83 · 9 Sep 2012 at 18:31

and the cpu cooler uve put up will this keep the i5 cool when its overclocked?

michael83 · 9 Sep 2012 at 18:50

yeah i would ideally, its why i was looking at the h60, you just put the rad where the fan at the rear of the case is?

michael83 · 9 Sep 2012 at 19:10

thers a link in the reviews where hes fitted it to his graphics card, 2 of these in a push pull set up? http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FG-021-NB&tool=3

michael83 · 9 Sep 2012 at 19:23

if i get 3 of them fans and that cooler and mobo n power unit it comes in at 995, fiver under budget lol, im going to put it on my cpu but it was just how he had fitted it as it comes with no instructions aparently

michael83 · 9 Sep 2012 at 19:32

nah im just going to run it thro my tele, ive spent like 250 quid on storage, a bigger ssd for steam and windows, the hdd for my films and documentaries, ive got a case but its restrictive

michael83 · 9 Sep 2012 at 19:34

restrictive to the point i chose the best gpu that would actually fit in haha, just going to xfire them payday after next

michael83 · 9 Sep 2012 at 19:49

well i need a bit of everything but mainly gaming, its all about big ssd's ive heard, you can get cheaper than that samsung but it got really good reviews, will 7870 in xfire not rock the 660ti?

just checked and there pretty similar and the 660 is 50 quid more

michael83 · 9 Sep 2012 at 20:03

michael83 · 9 Sep 2012 at 20:22

the origional power supply was a 750w, and its 280mm long ive looked into it as i like the 3 fan set up, can i smash the hhd out me laptop in sure its 500gb, would save me 60 quid for the better power supply i suppose, dont really wanna spend over a grand seeing as my budget started at 600 quid 2 weeks ago ha

michael83 · 9 Sep 2012 at 20:46

the 2 antana ones are 300bps and the single one is just 150bps does that make much diference?

michael83 · 9 Sep 2012 at 21:14

michael83 · 9 Sep 2012 at 21:30

michael83 · 9 Sep 2012 at 21:40

home plugs? do they work from a down stairs socket to an up stairs with it being a different wireing loom or is it woreless? i thought they used the wiring as to wire it so to speak?

michael83 · 9 Sep 2012 at 21:48
