Hi all,
Finally it looks like the Duo is coming. Now I plan to be building a new system, mainly consisting of:
- Intel Core 2 DUO E6700 "LGA775 Conroe" 2.67GHz.
- BFG GeForce 7950 GX2 1024MB GDDR3.
I need several answers before I can do this:
First off, I need to start looking at the rest of the spec, some of the better motherboards, RAM, HDD etc... to pair along with the CPU and Graphics Card.
Second of all, my main concern is power and cooling. I can safely assume that this spec will take a lot of power, thus I was thinking of the:
- Seasonic S12 600W Silent ATX2.2 Power Supply.
...which brings me to the second detail of heat, what would be the best (yet as quiet as possible) to keep everything cool in this spec. I was thinking along the lines of:
- Antec P180 Advanced case + 120mm fans (quiet ones)
- ThermalRight SI-120 heat sync +120mm fan (quiet one)
I would like to stay away from water cooling - the idea of water + expensive electrics is alittle worrying, lol.
So any and all suggestions would be good, so I can complie a full spec...
Thanks in advance guys.
