Sorry, I just want to make sure that I wont regret anything, lol :) Also, I possibly should have mentioned that this computer will primarily be an audio workstation (hence the graphics card). Will my RAM fit fine with the "sideways" Zalman cooler? I've t...

Re: Advice on New Build and Air Flow

I have been told that times and even speed of memory just isn't that important This is seeming to be the case. Things have changed a lot, lol. Also, since you are guying a very expensive power supply, you just need a metal box for the computer. The single most expensive part in your build list is b...

Advice on New Build and Air Flow

Please see parts list below: Order 1 (small).jpg Order 2 (small).jpg Now, firstly I'm wondering what you guys think about using the CNPS10X cooler? As it will be blowing air upwards in the case, rather than working in the same direction as the natural airflow design of the Lian Li PC-B10B. At first ...

Now, it's not that I'm incapable of reading your excellent advice, but (possibly stupidly) I'm currently trying to decide between two boards that have chipsets you didn't suggest. 870A Fuzion Power Edition (NB870/SB850) http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=proddesc&mainca...

Hmm, thanks for the heads-up. Lucky I hadn't ordered yet. It seems a bit too close to call now though... lol

List of AMD AM3 Chipsets with TDP values?

I've been struggling to find some information regarding chipsets/motherboards. What I'm trying to find is: A. List of different AM3 AMD Chipsets with TDP ratings. B. Power consumption of various AM3 motherboards. I've been searching for days for answers on either, but figured it's about time I just ...

that the Nexus Value 430 has not received electrical safety certification in Australia That's interesting, I wonder on what grounds it failed? Maybe they just haven't had it tested for Australian sale at all? the X-400 Fanless PSU is $180 at PC Case Gear I was looking at the X-400 but wasn't really...
