well, maybe not what you were aiming for, but I built a "silent PC" with that zalman 9500 cooler, and I found it to be not so silent.

waiting for a scythe ninja to climb up my priority list.

Also, it cools my 6400+ OK, but not the temps are still high for my liking. (Bear in mind I use the fanmate to bring it to its slowest speed)

Which fan is that exactly? You're thinking of the bigger Antec cases.

Where did you buy the computer?

Yeah it says you have a Thermaltake V1 CPU Cooler and a Zalman CNPS9500 or something. Those are both CPU coolers

Because you'd be paying thousands of dollars for what effectively amounts to a fancy case?

Same goes for that Alienware garbage. You can build the exact same machine for a fraction of the price. If you're not technically inclined, you can pay someone else to do it for you, still for a fraction of the price.

$1700 for that? Holy FUCK you got hosed mate

Also Diginut you're kinda dumb for saying that overclocking is "not worth it."

It is VERY much worth it. Why wouldn't you get the extra speed if you can?

I bought my current CPU, a Pentium Dual Core E2160 (Conroe core but with 1MB L2 cache and an 800MHz FSB) for $70. It runs 1.8GHz stock. It's currently doing 3.0GHz 100% stable in the most strenuous stress testing for days on end. I barely had to bump the voltage, and it essentially runs on par with a Core 2 Duo E6750, which at the time I bought this was over 3 times the price.

So yeah. Overclocking is amazing if you know what you're doing. Only a fucktard would let his overclocked rig stay unstable. Just go down in increments until it is fully stable, it isn't difficult.

Your right...now that I remember he said to go with the Zalman CNPS9500 because he will overclock it so it will keep it running cooler. Like I said Im no computer wiz and he used Microsoft Excels spreadsheet to create a list for my computer and show me which parts he would use so I guess he just forgot to take off the original Thermaltake and replace it.
