I was wondering, is the thermalright cooler touching the side door of the p182? or is there a minimum marge between them?

This thing is so huge, and I do not think it will be good if it touched the side door, right?

So how big is the margin?

nice build man, I know others have similar ones.

But I have one question, perhaps it is a bit silly but here it goes.

In what direction does your PSU need to be?
Fan up or Fan down?

Any ideas about that?

Thnx Elvellon So a 8800 GT will do the trick nicely. A 8800 GTS is better, but will cost more and will become hotter, right? However both can have an Accellero on it, so then a GTS should also be valid right. How would 8800GT with Accellero scale to a 9600 GT from Gigabye (passive standard)? Both wi...

I also read about people who seal of the top for better air flow. Is this better, or should I keep the top and put an fan in it (800rpm) I also found this info about a 9800 GTX with the HR-03GT http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/hardware-canucks-reviews/5363-bfg-9800gtx-512mb-review-19.html What d...

I face a similar problem. I could go for 8 gig DDR2 memory. But do you (and me to) need all that memory. Isn't it a bit overkill if we are completely honest? My credo has always been "more memory is better", but is it? 8 gig DDR2 memory will cost around the same as 4 gig DDR3 memory, right? The Q945...

thanks for the advise in my opinion your motherboard is the base of your complete system. I always aim for a nice one. I probably could do with a little less, but it is more like a "feeling"? it is hard to explain. I always were a huge fan of ASUS motherboards, but this GigaByte board, took my atten...

Hello

My preference would be the Q9450
But in my opinion DDR3 memory will be kicking from the 1600 Mhz range.

But it all depends on your budget, the DDR3 configuration will cost you more
