Thread: turtle's new pc

  1. Default

    How loud do you want the computer: doesn't matter, i use headphoens
    How much money can you speed on cooling: 75-80shipped
    How much do you want to overclock: as close to 4.0 as possible
    How long do you want it to run for: until i buy a new one =)
    How long do you want the computer to work: 4 years

    By run for I meant how long it will be turned on with out being shutdown.

    As for sound this does matter with headphones. Trust me, the computer next to me can be heard though walls and doers to the other side of the apartment. If sound really does not matter getting it to 4.0 is easy as all you do is buy the biggest baddest fans you can afford and a decent heat sink.

    Here is what I would recommend to get 4.0+ where sound does not matter:
    http://www.frozencpu.com/products/78...?tl=g36c15s780 Exhaust fan.

    http://www.frozencpu.com/products/70...?tl=g40c14s757 Heatsink

    http://www.frozencpu.com/products/85...l?tl=g36c15s60 Use this fan on heatsink instead of the stock one

    http://www.frozencpu.com/products/37...?tl=g8c127s447 Thermal paste

    That should get you to 4.0 easily all within your budget. It should also come out quieter than my current system as you are only going to use two loud fans. But yea, that will cool it easily... all within budget!

    (Note that you can find most of these parts for less at other stores, prices here are maximum)

    Depro...
    I got all those parts from various sources.
    I ended up shellin' out $1584.84. That is including the $226.84 i paid for a Dell 2209WA.

    just an FYI, although the dell is rated higher for gaming purposes, im actually trying to get my hands on the 24' benQ. i would be disgracing my GTX285 if i didnt run it at 1920x1200.

    *edit* i lied... i paid maybe $65 more for a new G5 and a new ratpad (ratpadz.com)
