got the heatsink today

oh and this thing is almost 3lbs, its a heavy weight and I still need to put two fans on it

well the processor is $220 3.2ghz p4
vid card is $150 random cheap thing
ram is $330 (cant remember the name but it was the fastest I could find, two 512mb DDR2 chips)
harddrives $200 (two WD raptor 10k rpm drives)
DvD burner
disk drive
and there is probably somthing else I am forgetting right now

 

[dosle]

[Lord_Zath]

wow... i just read this whole thing (very carefully mind you) and the only part I understood was the part where i rocked.

I think that's what matters most ha

Don't worry Nicole had no clue what it said either. I had to help her out with all the small words lol

Why you getting a cheapo video card? Are you a gamer? If so, you might wanna reconsider...

What you got going for audio?

steve you heartless SOB

at 4.2ghz (overclocked) of processing power I dont thing the game performance will suffer much
the mobo has a "daughter card" for its audio, 7.1 dolby aproved sound, optical out and IN
besides $150 for a vid card will get me somthing nice, I'm just not rich enough to drop $300 on a l33t card

 

[Bijou-MP5]

video card...fx series? or radeon series?

[Aricjm15]

hmm man, you guys must be rich, cheapest one I can find is this one
http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=14-139-170&depa=1

[dosle]

not rich, just purchasing in installments...

 

[Aricjm15]

same here, I am thinkin I'm going to buy my processor next

I have to take the mobo out to put in the heat sink

but good news is it will fit in the case, it clears the door fan by half an inch

dude, don't break your motherboard with that heatsink. get a thermalirght sp-94. it'll perform better and you'll be able to move your computer without breaking something. trust me, beeen there done that. I had a heatsink fall off a 1.4 athlon before. that sucked.

this thing comes with a mounting plate for the back of the motherboard to destribute the weight, its pretty beefy mounting hardware, you actualy bolt it to the mounting plate

with the right fans the one I have is as close you can get to watercooling, not much fits on this motherboard either because of the OTES fans
the SP-94 is for the socket 478 p4, mine is a LGA775,
on the thermalright website it says the XP-90 would fit with a custom adaptor, and the Xp-120 is just way to wide to fit
