should've got a PCI wireless card, generally much better reception than USB ones. that cooler looks alright im using the stock AMD one at the moment, but i hear the hyper 212+ is a recommended one (great value), not sure how much different it is from what you have though.
is this gonna be a gaming pc or?
duke nukem forever for PC (preordered on steam) |
Yep gonna be a gaming pc. Though I reverted back to the stock AMD Phenom fan for now. Current casing's airflow is so bad, that with the Coolermaster Hyper TX3, my Northbridge temperature was soaring past 60 degrees Celsius. With the stock cooler, it's at 42 degrees. Heck, even did the airflow where the front and side sucks in air, and rear exhaust, temps still isn't going down. Will be changing the casing within 2-3 week's time. Aiming for an Ikonik EN2, or SOHO2, and buying a shit ton of fans as well. Ugh.
EDIT: I used to have a Creative Audigy Value 5.1 PCI card in that PCI slot. Downside was that my Graphics card temperature increased to some 40+ degrees on idle. Without the sound card, temps on the graphics card went down to around the low 30s.

wow what the hell thats nuts. what case have you got?
im using a antec 300, i changed the top and back fans for a Xigmatek CFS-SYGJS-RU1 CLF-F1452 Red LED 140mm & CoolerMaster R4-L2R-20CR-GP 90 CFM Red LED Silent Fan 120mm, its a little louder than before (because those fans were set on low) but i think idle temp is like ~5deg less.

What I've bought... - Ikonik SOHO 1 Casing (Came with that free Coolermaster casing fan on the extreme left.) - SGD$58 - Headway 550W Extreme PSU - SGD$38 - Coolermaster Economic pack, 4-in-1 12cm casing fans - SGD$28 - 92mm Zalman Casing fan (Used it on my cpu cooler, so now it has a push-pull configuration.) - SGD$12 - NZXT sleeved 3-pin fan connectors. (2 to 1) - SGD$15 - Arctic Cooling MX-4 Thermal Grease - SGD$20 Three things missing in the pic that I forgot to buy... - 24 pin atx connector extension cable - 4 pin atx connector extension cable - 4 pin molex to 3 pin fan connector... Darn power supply wires were too short... The Zalman 92mm fan became part of my cpu cooler, so now it has a push-pull config. More on the Ikonik SOHO 1 compared to my Headway casing This post has been edited by outlaw-2 on Jun 23 2011, 09:22 AM
