Seems both what I was thinking which water cooler is most silent? And is it worth noise dampening?

Both water coolers are around the same, the H110 is instock tho.

If you want silent,

YOUR BASKET
1 x BeQuiet Silent Base 800 - Orange £99.95
1 x Cooler Master Nepton 240M AIO Cooling Solution £79.99
Total : £193.44 (includes shipping : £11.25).




But the cooler is on pre order so ask when its due, the H110 wont fit and I dont think the H105 does either.

As the case has a door then you can fit an internal drive,

1 x LG GH24NSB0 24x DVD±RW SATA ReWriter (Black) - OEM £13.99

Agreed, both are pretty much the same. There's also this new CM one

But again, pre-order

I had a antec 1200 before was quite noisey so if the nzxt is not as noisey I think I could handle it I like the 440 I think the h110 looks like the better choice, if I get the 440 I can't get a internal cd/DVDs drive?

Nope, has no 5.25 bays for CD drives

Not to bothered about that can the external drive been used for OS install

Yes it can, just use USB 2.0 ports if possible as it'll ensure stability, no USB 3.0 driver messing up etc (should be okay, but just to be safe)

Yes.

Runs perfectly, do you actually need a drive? you can install from a USB thumb drive.

Suppose I could just nvr tryed Usb install before but should be ok my friends got win7 for me

Its easy to do, its how I do it.

Make sure the USB stick is the first boot device, SSD 2nd, disconnect the HDD (so stray programs dont end up on it) and boot up.

 

[TheGentry]

Sounds easy enough is it worth changing stock fans of nzxt?

Nah.

May as well buy a better case if you start spending money on different fans.

That with orange coolant and black and orange case is that much watercooling overkill or what?

 

[stulid]

I have used a H100i to keep a 4790K cool at up to 4.8GHz.

So it could be overkill depending on how far you would like to try and overclock to.

 

[TheGentry]

I've never overclocked myself but I'm really interested in doing it as my first proper build since u build my own when I was 14 wih my q6600 and gts8800

 

[stulid]

I posted some BIOS screens in another thread on what I used to get my i7 up to stellar heights, you could just almost copy it and play around as every CPU is different.

 

[TheGentry]

Seems like a plan cheers even tho I don't think would make much performance difference clocking the 780ti I got will be the money
