Just on the edge of completing my SG05 build can i have your views please.

Case - SG05
Motherboard - Zotac 9300-G-E
Processor - Intel 2180 (upgrading in future)
Ram - 4GB Crucial Ballistixs
Hardrive - VelocityRaptor 74gb
Graphics - 4850

Is everything ok? and what CPU cooler do you fellas recommend.

Cheers

firstly i'd get an aftermarket gpu cooler as the 4850 runs hot (and is loud) especially in a small case

secondly, whats the max height of the cooler?

Lemons_Mufc · 29 May 2010 at 11:25

CPU or GPU?

for the cpu im thinking about http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-026-SY

which most people have for gpu i aint got a clue

Iaink · 29 May 2010 at 11:29

that looks like it can do the job, the E2180 runs pretty cool anyway (got one in my secondary rig atm) i'll just havea quick look for a suitable GPU cooler for you (assuming your 4850 has the rubbish stock one?)

i like it.. how loud is it you reckon?

actually, having read a few reviews the akasa one is a bit loud unless you connect it to a fan controller, the Zalman on the otherhand will be excellent:

Lemons_Mufc · 29 May 2010 at 12:42

cheers.

Go for the Akasa mate.

I'll try find my review graphs of the Akasa v Zalman when I can, but the Akasa is the one you want to get.
