airman Posted February 8, 2005 Posted February 8, 2005 okay well i have a few things to change 'bout that. for the mb...go with the msi k8n neo4 plat....kickarse board. for the heatsink...neither. get a thermalright xp-90, or an xp-120. they both cool VERY well, it's just a compatibility issue between the motherboard. you'll have to look into that one for yerself for the ram...you have selected a good choice, but i definently suggest that you look into the patriot xbl series. very good ram, the pc3200 can hit around ddr600 with exceptional timings. anyways...welcome to the occ! and DON'T TOUCH THE LLAMAS!!

patio furniture Posted February 8, 2005 Posted February 8, 2005 (edited) thanks for all the info guys! i feel welcome already B) oh, p.s. in regard to the cpu heatsink/fan, do you think the new thermalright xp-120 will be good for the fx chip?
