oh, yea, i've seen them in here in the mobo section. Still this board has less problems than any other 975x board, thats why i chose it.

Thanks for the advice gamble! Thats what i'll o if i get a 50mm fan. Or I'll use Antec Spot Cool, its also good for northbridge plus my vid cards will get some cool air as well.

Also what do mean by "fun stuff"? Am i in for some bad surprises? And where can i find the Bible?

I'm not sure i understand the question, you must excuse me, this is my first build and i'm not as tech savyy as some others folks here. Can you restate your question please? IE what processor. Like Core 2 Duo E6300. etc. And what clock to you want to hit ie from 1.86 to 3.00 etc Oh, thats simple en...

Interesting suggestion, i dont know how to attach fans to heatsink, but i'm sure i'll will figure it out. Do 50mm and 60mm fans get loud? Can anyone recomend a good fan manufacturer? I personally intend to replace my stock gigabyte LED 120mm case fans with Antec Tricool LED 120mm fans or TT's A2018 ...

Ahh, i forgot to mention overclocking. Yes, i will be doing some moderate overclocking, i probably wont go past 2.7 or 2.8 Ghz. Will that require chipset cooling?

I would like to know if my mobo will need north/southbridge cooling, suggestions from bad axe 2 owners and other knowledgeble folks are welcome. I'll be ordering all the parts for my new system (see signature) from newegg next week, and would like to pick everything up at all once if possible. If th...

Judging from what is being said here SB Extreme Gamer Fatal1ty pro is not worth paying all tthat cash for, so i'm not going to get it. cyberneticimplant suggested Auzentech XMystique, which indeed looks pretty cool. Also Toebot's suggested to get the original extreme gamer which also looks good. and...

Hey Gyus, thanks for the replies. First , i want to ask InsolenceandHeresy a question: can you please elaborate on your suggestion? Why is Extereme music would be better than any of the Extreme gamers? From what i understand, ExtremeMusic is not designed with gaming in mind, the reviews i've been re...

Not sure if this is the right place for this post, no sound section here. In any case, I'm looking for a good sound card for my first build, and i cant decide between these 2 cards. I already bought Creative inspire spreakers that are listed in my sig to go with either of these cards. Basically what...

Ok, guys, i have done more research and i think i narrowed it down to 2 CPU coolers AC freezer 7 and Zalman 9500 LED or AT and i'm leaning towards Zalman, which ironically is about $20 less on newegg than the other one. However, there is a problem, i checked the list of compatible motherboards and b...

I love my zalman 9700 looks sweet works well is quiet, though I wish it had a little less room to move. Lowered my temps great even when I had it installed backward, then I put it on forward and fixed some of my airflow problems lol. I like they way it looks too, especially those blue LEDs, 9500 an...

Looks good, but it is too heavy for me, its even heavier than the Zalman's 9700. I'll look into the others Enzotech, Silverstone, AC freezer 5, 9500 is still a possibility as well.

Thanks for your help guys!

I'm a bit confused about the Typhoons, there are several models on TT's site, are you trying to recomend this model:

Also Artic Freezer recomended by setcrew does have push pins so i assume you dont recomend,right?

Thanks for the suggestions! I'll research these further, i've heard a lot of good things about Arctic Freezer 7 and TT's Big Typhoon, they seem to be popular at newegg as well. also is there a difference between the Big Typhoon & Big Typhoon vx?

Guys, Thanks for the links, very informative, especially the Anandech review. I must confess that i havent read any online publication reviews until now, i just read newegg customer reviews and was basing my decision on that. I know i should read up a bit more before making a final decision, but for...

Thanks for your answer. I have looked into Scythe Ninja and Infinity and Tuniq Tower and a few others during my search, though i never heard of Noctua cooler, i never seen that recomended in the forums. Tuniq Tower is out of the question for me, its hard to mount, especially for a first timer like m...

I'm looking for a CPU cooler for the system in my sig, it will be used for gaming for the most part also i intend to do some moderate OCing. I'm looking for something that will be quiet, easy to install, not too big and fit nicely with the rest of my components. I looked at several heatsinks, but i ...

Hi guys, Thanks for your replies. I was looking at the RAM mojaveron suggested, it is still with in my price range, and it looks very good. How is this working out for you? Good overclocker?
