Caris Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 There is also a Soundblaster X-Fi Pro Gamer soundcard which didn't fit in the screen grab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCK Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 That's fine, but you might want to wait a week for Intel Penryn Core 2 Duos? They're coming out really soon now, and they supposedly clock over to above 4 GHz on just air cooling. That's something I'd wait for at any rate. Also, as for the sound card, I heard the Asus Xonar D2 provides the same performance as an X-Fi for less money, but you might want to Google that.

Caris Posted January 22, 2008 Author Share Posted January 22, 2008 I'm more worried about the CPU, Mobo and Memory being sweet with each other. Btw did you get my Email? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McPhee Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Wait for the new Intel CPUs, there's a better one than the E6750 selling for less/the same Also, what case is this going in? Why the P5E-VM? You're paying for a premium for the powerful DX10 integrated graphics and then disabling them to add a GTS... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stefkov Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 New CPUs are taking their sweet time to get good stocks on sites. scan, overclockers have it down as preorder and ebuyer are getting like 10 in each day. They won't get a good supply until end of Feb, thats what a post says in the ebuyer forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McPhee Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Becuase it's a mATX case and i wan't cooper heatsink on my motherboard. Temps are much lower than Alu ones. That's what i'd guessed. Maybe a better CPU cooler as well then to balance it all out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caris Posted January 23, 2008 Author Share Posted January 23, 2008 The Freezer 7 with Artic Silver 5 paste will have the temps ice cold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McPhee Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 It depends how quiet you want you're system to be. To make it quieter you have to lower the speed of the fans, and that's when the Freezer 7 begins to fall behind. If you find the stock Intel fan ok for noise then the Freezer 7 is a great cooler. If you think it's too noisy then you won't like the Freezer 7, which is actually slightly louder. It might be worth getting the cooler after you build, as it's quite subjective.
