According to this sheet of supported memory, there are not that many choices when I want 8GB or 16GB memory. http://download.gigabyte.eu/FileList/Memory/mb_memory_ga-z68x-ud3h-b3.pdf Any suggestions what I should get? I'm not really locked to Kingston, it's just that I have good experience with them.

And, another thing.

The Gigabyte MB seem to only support 1.5V memory.
Does that mean that I have to get 1.5V memory modules and not 1.65V?

If not, is it worth it to change the MB to one that supports 1.65V?

I ended up on Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3. Now it only memory remains to decide on what memory I should get. More specifically, what Mhz it should be? The mainboard supports: 1066, 1200, 1300, 1333, 1600, 1800, 1866, 2133 MHz (1.5V) I know I want 16GB of Kingston memory (have very good experience with ...

When it comes to the mainboard I've been having a look around Asus P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3 seems to get decent reviews However, most of the motherboards have way more ports then I need. All I need to connect is: 1 graphics card, 1 SSD + 1 HDD, 1 DVD-burner, mouse (usb), keyboard (usb) and mic (usb), and of...

I'm not going to overclock. I'll try the Thermalright HR-02 Macho without a fan and check the temperatures If the temperatures are too high I'll add a fan blowing towards the back (the HR-02 comes with a fan) But, hopefully, the fan wont be needed. I see that the Ninja3 has 8 heatpipes compared to t...

That is a Scythe Ninja PLUS Rev. B (SCNJ-1100P NINJA PLUS Rev.B), so I think I have to get a new one. Do you still think I can use a cooler without a fan for the i5 2500K, with my case setup ? If not, where would you put the fan when you look at my pic of the hardware? So, which new one should I get...

Thanks for the tips guys! Ok, lets say I decide to get i5 2500K and 16GB of ram. What cooler should I get for the CPU to run the most silent system? The top part of my current case looks like this: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/651629/hardware%20overview.jpg I'd like a cooler that benefits from my top and...

More information about my PC: Case: Antec Performance One P182. I have 4 fans in my case, all running on low rpm (top and front inwards, back and PSU outwards). I'm not sure if there is room for any more fans tbh. PSU: MIST, 650W Resolution: 1680x1050 on a 22" monitor. I might get an 24" in the futu...

Right now I got a pretty silent pc. The only thing that is making noticable sound is the graphics card and occationally some noises from the harddrives (they are not SSDs) I'm running passive cooling of the CPU (a Scythe Ninja without fan, but a lot of low-rpm fans around the case) I'm going to upgr...

Thanks for the useful replies.

I've read quite a few tests now, and seeing how much I value a silent pc I'll probably get the Phantom-card.

So what are your impressions? I'm considering one of these two cards myself: Gainward GeForce GTX 560 Ti Phantom 1GB MSI GeForce GTX 560 Ti 1GB Hawk Any idea wich one is the quietest? The reason I'm considering the Hawk is because of the high clockspeed and because I want to be able to play new game...
