IVIYTH0S Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Ya that page with the great deal on the Q9550 doesn't exist on the CA version of dells website. THOSE BASTARDS!!!! Alright anyway I am now looking for which RAM to choose.... 4GB DDR2 and generally good. Also I would like to know if it would get into the way of a Coolermaster V8 Heatsink sounds like you could use a 940 x4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheConqueror Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Ya but isn't a Phenom II a pretty small cache processor? If its really nice and can beat out a Q9550 then sure by all means if someone could assemble an aproximate system for me it would be great. And I need good cooling to keep it well..cool, the Coolermaster V8 has a Am2+ bracket but does it cool well enough? It seems to be an amazing cooler from what I have seen, only beat by the True by a couple degrees Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art@zzie Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 There is a product called "GOO-OFF" that will work to remove sticky residue. I'd go with the Phenom II as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheConqueror Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 There is a combo deal on M4A79 Deluxe + Phenom II 940 + OCZ DDR2 1066 4GB Ram kit (OCZ Reaper). Should I get this combo? There is also an option to have just the M4A79 Deluxe + The processor in a combo, and buy a different RAM. Should I go with the second option? If so which RAM should I buy?

TheConqueror Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 No they are 5-5-5-18 What about these patriot vipers? : http://canadacomputers.com/index.php?do=Sh...cid=RAM.346.754 PS: I also swapped out my motherboard for a Gigabyte UD4P, which is a UD4H just without built in graphics, since it comes out 20$ cheaper and I dont have to worry about them conflicting. Anyway right now I am looking for good, preferably cheaper RAM. Without rebates please. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
