eisbar Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 (edited) I am also looking at this RAM (Corsair Vengeance 2x4) and it looks pretty tall might have some problems with the hyper 212 clearing it since on that mobo the memory slots look pretty close to the cpu. Anyone think this might be a problem? Also if your looking to lower the price Ive been told by many that paying the extra for SATA III 6G/s HDD was a waste since the mechanical drives arent even utilizing the potential of SATA II yet. From looking at my hyper 212+, it will be no problems whatsover @OP just a quick note, if your going to overclock then 1600mhz+ ram will be better. As Nyt said, it will be perfect for 4ghz.

DanTheGamer11 Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Looks nice, if you aren't going to SLI in the future, you can back off that PSU. 550 to 600W would definitely be more efficient and cost less. Doesn't that happen when the PSU is bigger? I thought it works most efficiently at half load? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
iskout Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Doesn't that happen when the PSU is bigger? I thought it works most efficiently at half load? Efficiencies vary between units, but I like to keep mine between 50-70% load. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sticknstone Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 The best way to determine the psu efficiency would be to check the manufacturer data. Seeing as the psu is already chosen shouldn't be too much trouble. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexandre Posted February 22, 2011 Posted February 22, 2011 Efficiencies vary between units, but I like to keep mine between 50-70% load. Generally a PSU will be most efficient when it is under 40-60% load but it's probably better for your pocket to buy one which will run between 50-70% load. You should check the manufacturers info/reviews to work out the efficiency curve of your particular PSU. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
