PC mild revamp

[aerials606]

Hi

Thought this would be a good place to ask about the following bundle in case anyone has this config.

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=BU-007-OG&groupid=43&catid=2512

Looking at putting this bundle together but replacing the cooler with a Noctua NH-U14S OR NH-U12S. Will either cooler fit with that RAM or will I lose a slot? Worried too that it might cover the PCIx16 slot partially too

Currently I have a corsair 520w PSU with a E6600 but would this PSU be beefy enuff to handle the linked bundle along with 3 raptor drives, 1 sdd & a 550Ti?

Probably the only static things that I'd not be keen on swapping out on would be the i7 4770K and the fans so open to other RAM/mobo recommendations.

Budget is around £650-700 mark

Any pointers appreciated

Hi

When you link the page to us it does not keep the parts you have selected. I would upgrade the psu to somthing like:

YOUR BASKET
1 x SuperFlower Golden Green HX 650W "80 Plus Gold" Power Supply - Black £79.99
Total : £89.59 (includes shipping : £8.00).



Can you list the components you have selected with that.

Thanks

Link works fine, get better browsers

The Noctua NH-U12S has 100% ram compatibility on that board.

The 14cm version may interfere with the top 16X slot, the 12cm will be fine.

Cooler http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-000-ND&groupid=701&catid=2330

Could I go down to the NH-U12s and still get reasonable overclocking headroom? Thinking if the slots are made unavailable by the 140mm cooler.

Cheers

The Noctua is a good cooler,



The 3570K was tested at 4.5Ghz with a fat 1.35Vcore.

You wont ever get stress a CPU during normal use like AIDA64 stability test does.
