Hello, Forum
Few weeks ago I started my new build and now i'm finally donethis thing is a beast compared to my E6500 with 4GB DDR2
here's the specs:
Processor: Core i5-2310 @ 2.90GHz
Motherboard: MSI PH67A-C43 (B3) v1.0
RAM: Kingston KVR 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 @ 1333MHz
GFX Card: Sparkle Nvidia GeForce GT440 512MB GDDR5
Case: Thermaltake V4 Black Edition with 6 x 120mm Cooler Master Sickleflow 2000RPM Fans
PSU: Cooler Master Extreme Power Plus 500W
HDDs: Samsung HD502HJ 500GB SATA II, Excelstor Technology J8080S 80GB SATA II
ODD: LG GH22NS40 DVD Burner SATA II
So far, sick. That's all i can saymy WEI is now respectable
I did my best with the cable management but the V4 has little to no room for that! but still i think i did a pretty good job
Weird thing, though.. i find the Processor a little bit on the warm side (44ēC on idle), maybe is the fact that i have the Intel HSF, a 29ēC room temp and a really crappy thermal compound... But still i don't know too much about Sandy Bridge processors and its temps, throw me a bone here, Forum! i'd appreciate it.
I'll probably end up buying a Cooler Master Hyper 212+ or a Corsair A70 but i don't know if it'll have problems with the fans placed on the top of the case!another bone thrown at me would be excellent
