HogDog Posted December 1, 2005 Posted December 1, 2005 looks good to me, except I don't know very much about PSUs. Oh and you might want to get a different heatsink, I had that one ended up replacing it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccokeman Posted December 1, 2005 Posted December 1, 2005 Only problem i see is the heatsink. Thermalright XP120, XP90, or the TT big Thyphoon would be a better choice. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

suchuwato Posted December 2, 2005 Posted December 2, 2005 Not the TT. Please don't. Think of the children! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dice Posted December 2, 2005 Posted December 2, 2005 Get a zalman 7000series + or, you can get a thermal right * i think thats what the brand is * XP -90 or 120 or 90a or 90 b i think you get my point. They cost around 35-60 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wamason Posted December 2, 2005 Posted December 2, 2005 You could always go with a nice custom DangerDen or Swiftec Liquid cooling kit. I assume you'll be overclocking that opteron, and if you don't mind spending the extra time and money, a good LC kit would serve you well.

bigr Posted December 3, 2005 Posted December 3, 2005 scratch sound off, the onboard sound is good enough Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamikaze_Badger Posted December 3, 2005 Posted December 3, 2005 (edited) Bigr, how about you stop posting at OCC? The onboard sound module on the DFI boards is known as infamous for horrible sound quality. That, and onboard sound in general SUCKS for music (at least the AC97 audio codec). And for gaming, higher quality sound can mean the difference between being raped and getting a headshot.

What about WARRANTIES? Should I buy the Newegg Warranty? What is covered/not covered by warranty and for how long / how do I find out? thanks all Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
