-pops- Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 This is not a subject of opinion/poll, it is a matter of fact and is something that you should be investigating yourself - as other computer builders do.You seem insistent on going at this like a bull at a gate with no heeding of any advice or recommendations that have been given to you, especially in regard to learning something about what you are doing in this procedure. Because of this, there is no reason to believe that you will take any notice of anything else that appears here to try an assist you.You are embarking on a project which is not cheap, is technologically highly complex and can, without care and attention, easily result in failure. The result then is a box of very expensive junk.SLOW DOWN. Take things one at a time. Learn about what you want to do. Take some old machines apart and rebuild them before you start on anything new. By not doing this, there is a good chance that you will have a lot of regrets. For "how to do it" guides, there are lots of web sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan2273 Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 I think when trackrat posted about the Artic Pro, he forgot to say that it is a heatsink and one of the best.Yes all the parts are compatable and I would go over 600 watts for the PSU.I hope you took pops advice about stripping and rebuilding one first.

-pops- Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 I read in your other thread that you have obtained all the parts you require so this poll is even more pointless and I am closing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
