fariss Posted November 21, 2005 Posted November 21, 2005 As per my sig this is my proposed new build. I'm seeking advice about the choices. Is the Zalman 9500 OK? I've seen no review here of it. Ram OK? Mild OCing? 4400+ Toledo OC well? PSU OK? Or should I use the OCZ? Any other suggestions more than welcome & sought. Thanks.

lowboy Posted November 22, 2005 Posted November 22, 2005 Zalman never used one bling...bling most recommended here is the thremalright xp90 and for PSU saw none listed in your post. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fariss Posted November 22, 2005 Posted November 22, 2005 I presently use the Zalman 7000 on an Intel platform. It's by far the best I have ever used, although quite heavy. Google has given me some reviews on the 9500 but nothing from a real time user. So far it's my choice for cooler but would like some more info from actual users. The alternative is the SI 120 but I like the way the Zalman exhausts out the back into the case fan in my Lian Li. Sorry about the PSU. It's a PC Power & Cooling Turbo Cool 510 ASL.

oliveryochest Posted November 22, 2005 Posted November 22, 2005 PC Power & Cooling Turbo Cool 510 ASL. Excellent Choice. The best PSU hands down. The PSU that you have also has an 8pin connector for the Expert board Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoBo Posted November 23, 2005 Posted November 23, 2005 Hi farris, I went with the Zalman CNPS9500 LED Cooler because I liked it`s unique design...lol. Plus it cools about as good as my sons SI-120 w/120mm fan on top. Since we both run the same board, I would say the SI-120 is better, because the air flows over the board shaving a few degrees off of it as well. The xp90 seems to be the all around favorite on this board. You will love the ram, I just got mine in and it runs great! If you decide to go with the OCZ 520ADJSLI PowerStream make sure it will fit in that case. The OCZ is a little longer than normal, and could have trouble clearing the top case fan.....ask me how I know Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
