nufc_tim Posted November 29, 2004 Posted November 29, 2004 oh yeah! no seriously how much is a decent w/cing system going to cost? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katch Posted November 29, 2004 Posted November 29, 2004 Nforce 4 939 SLi - £150 - £200 939 CPU £200 - £500 SLi 6800s £300 each Go on you know it makes sense! Or, about £150 for a stock water cooling kit upto £300 if you buy lots of nice custom parts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufc_tim Posted November 29, 2004 Posted November 29, 2004 so do you reckon some decent ram and watercooling? what is the best sub £175 ram to get for o/cing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Games Posted November 29, 2004 Posted November 29, 2004 TCCD ram is great Ballistix (Micron) stuff is great too (3200 is actually better than 4000) ive never messed with WC so I can't answer that. but google and all the good review sites will tell you what RAM is the best (TCCD is the new BH-5 it seems) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc_tim Posted November 29, 2004 Posted November 29, 2004 if i want to get a higher o/c will it be better to upgrade ram or cooling 1st? my current set-up seems to be at about 40C under load with my old celeron cooler Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
