  1. I wouldn't say yay or nay. I have bad experiences with some but then again they are usually only trying to do their job I suppose. Some do it better than others.

  2. Which heatsink are you using?

     

     

     

    Aluminum one. :oops:

     

     

     

    It has thermal gel applied though.

     

    Ok,just watch the temps using speedfan or similar. It might be worth getting a new heatsink to push it that bit further. Another helpful thing is to go on an overclockers forum,read the stickies and/or find someone that'll give you some more advice.

  3. zaquierming, I suggest you flat forget both the water cooling and gtx upgrade from the gts, and just save the cash, or put a little of it into extra fan cooling... You don't want to be saying "bye-bye, computer" because your water cooling sprang a super-leak. :(

     

     

     

    Also, get yourself a 19" or larger monitor for that PC. I'm sitting on 17" and I can tell you that sometimes it ain't enough!

     

     

     

    As for software, here's my top recommendations for OS/FireWall/Anti-Virus/Browser...

     

    OS: Windows XP or Linux

     

    (Don't go near Vista. Vista doesn't like hardware enthusiasts. :( ...)

     

    FireWall: http://www.zonelabs.com -- ZoneAlarm Pro

     

    (Has saved PCs that I use.)

     

    Anti-Virus: http://www.eset.com -- Eset's NOD32 AV

     

    (Has saved PCs that I use.)

     

    Browser: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/ -- Mozilla FireFox

     

    (Just doesn't have all the awful IE bugs.)

     

     

     

     

     

    I hope all this info helps. :)

    Might be better spending the cash on a custom water cooling system instead of an "out the box one". Water cooling might be a good idea because quad cores are really hot. If you are worried about it frying your components then just use non conductive fluid...

  4. Looks great to me.

     

     

     

    However I would personally go for This Card. Its only $60 more and the 640mb would help a lot. IMO getting the 320mb would be a waste with a quad core .

     

     

     

    Rest of it looks great.

     

    Well actually a 640 mb card is a complete overkill at under 1680x1050 so really it just depends what monitor setup you are going to use. High memory doesnt = better frame rates at usual res anyway.

  5. someone into rock, wont feel the same was someone into metal will, thats whyt i do it

     

     

     

    Uh yeah, exactly. A forum is a place for everyone from all backgrounds speak freely, not segregate each other :shock:

     

    Honestly, why not just post this in a metal forum or something if you're looking for replies from a specific crowd.

     

    Qft.You could try like a metal head forum for that?

  6. I take it you made this thread to get back at people that said emo was pointless or something?

     

     

     

    Yea. I think he got angry because he is an emo.

     

     

     

    2 things, I take it you didn't read the thread, Ltb.

     

     

     

    And, Timmay, I already said, IN THE EMO THREAD. I'm not an emo. -.-

     

    I read the thread over a few times before i posted and i still think the same.
