i don't quite understand. Asus says it will support "max. 8GB DDR2 800"

The G.Skill HZ memory is very good. If you don't mind a short lifetime, you can even run it CL3 at 2.3V (mine lasted 4 months 24/7; it's rated CL4 at 2.1V). Yeah the HZ i threw on the list as its another model which is pretty popular. i did read somewhere that they don't necessarily guarantee Micro...

Hopeuflly some smarter people than I can help me. I'm totally clueless over which modules to buy for this motherboard.

it's a proven fact that blue leds increase cpu performance by 104%

seriously though, if the OCZ Ninja performs the same or equal as Scythe, then I say good for them. hopefully they'll have a lower price and/or better distribution than Scythe.

Wow! Are you ever right. I searched google for Canadian computer companies but never ran across them. Thanks, thats going to save me a pile of cash. Actually, adding up real quickly and its around $120 CAD (not including the 6% tax savings on top). Cool. I'm just disappointed they don't have the So...

Ironically, the result is actually about $50 more expensive. To give you a quick run-down on the prices I can get here in Canada... P150 (with psu) = $170 P180 (without psu) = $160 Solo (without psu) = $100 Seasonic 500HT = $120. I have the P180 black and it came to $135 (before tax). I strongly re...

no i have no need for modular cables.

i'll have to google what 80+ means to see if its worth the premium. i'm pretty happy with my s12-500 as it is.

edit: in case anyone is interested
http://www.80plus.org/80what.htm
There's also a pdf for seasonic on that website

the review is very promising indeed. aside from the modular cables is there any reason to pick the m12 over the current s12?

i have the a8n32 and from what i read the backplate is stuck on quite tightly. geez i hope the scythe retention bracket fits! (any a8n32 owners out there..?) No need to fiddle with the A8N32 backplate to get the Ninja on. Fits like a glove on the premounted backplate. did you have a hard time insta...

Chances are you do need to remove the motherboard, since the backplate slips out of position quite easily. Also, your backplate may not use the same screw threads as the Scythe requires. i have the a8n32 and from what i read the backplate is stuck on quite tightly. geez i hope the scythe retention ...

@MrDisco: You've got the installation procedure correct. @TooNice: Yes, the Nexus should do fine for a OC AMD (within reasonable limits). The difference between the Yate Loon and the Nexus is minimal, I would say 1 degree or less. Also, because the fins are so widely spaced, the Ninja won't benefit...

2 questions for owners of the Ninja: How does it attach to a 939 socket board? Do I just -unclip existing HS -unscrew the plastic retention frame from the mobo -screw in the supplied retention frame (do i need to remove the mobo for this step?) -clip in the Ninja Is this correct? Second, is there an...

the stock cooler on my x2-3800 isn't bad. it doens't have any heatpipes - just a simple arrangement of fins with a fan slapped on top. the fan itself is a bit buzzy imo, though the noise is quickly drowned out by the gpu fan.

well this is a P150 thread; I didn't expect your system to be something else.

i have an antec p160 which i figured was close enough.. i didnt want to spam the board with another thread creation.

You got all that right except that there are two 92mm front intake fans not a single 120mm. no what i mean is *my* system has a 120mm fan in the front, and a 120mm in the rear. i was thinking of replacing the stock fans with YL. 1) Ninja allows you to install the bracket on different fins 2) no 3) ...

i've got a similar question. vf700 cu vs silencer 5 rev 3? it would be for a 7800gt co se. i want something that will run queiter then the stock fan i like the zalman but i dont like that it needs a 4pin molex to power the fan

adpmods seems like a decent store. plus they have the yate loon at a special price when bought with the ninja (along with the grease and grease remover). i'll probably buy from there and post my results here.

great thread! please keep the comments on the scythe coming as i'm considering it for my p160 case w/x2-3800. i'm thinking of attaching a coolermaster to the ninja on the right so it blows air to the exhaust fan (which i'll change from the oem antec to a yate loon and put a yate loon in the front of...

Just a quick post to say that I just built a system around this combo and that installing the Ninja was a piece of cake. I chose not to remove the metal bracket holder that Asus kindly glued to teh motherboard as it's larger and better attached than a piece of double sided adhevise tape ever will. ...

All I know is I upgraded to a Scythe Ninja and couldn't be happier. In general, stock HSF are OK but not great, both for heat dissipation and noise. See if you can live with it, but if you can't, upgrade. I think that's the route I'm going to take. If the noise is unbearable then I'll revisit this ...

I'm sorry if this is a stupid question. I've tried to google and read as many stickies as possible but haven't found a clear answer to this. If i'm running a stock/non-OCed x2-3800 how bad is the stock HSF with respect to noise and cooling ability? Is it necessary for me to look at 3rd party HSFs? t...

thank you all for your comments

by using AS5 (etc) instead of the stock thermal pad that comes with the amd64 chips, does this void your warrenty?
