Re: New Build (finally); Is it balanced?

Ye, why buy XP pro when you can get Vista Home Premium for £60?

Im not using Vista yet. XP is perfectly stable for me.

Re: New Build (finally); Is it balanced?

Vista is now perfectly stable. I just think if you are paying money for an OS, Vista would have been a better option. 64bit in fact would be :awes

You should lift my Coolermaster Cosmos. 17kg empty, yes empty

That's nothing on the Kandalf. 21.92 kg. With just the water-cooling kit.

Re: New Build (finally); Is it balanced?

not already started and yet :

Do I have to apply my MX2 thermal paste although the stock cpu heatsink comes with a bit of paste pre applied ?

Re: New Build (finally); Is it balanced?

Wipe the stock stuff off...

Here is what some people suggest..Put a very thin line of the MX2 down the middle of the CPU then seat the HSF omntop and squish it on..For me though that has never worked..

I got a sandwhich bag(plastic) and put a little blobl right in the center...Then put the plastic bag over your finger and rub all over the CPU into a nice thin layer..That dropped my temps quite significantly...
