WMP for video. Winamp or Itunes for audio.

Can't find that exact case, but there a lot of cases which are very similar (have a 25cm front intake). Just look around.

Install Intel TAT (google for it). As long as the full load core temps are at/below 55C, you're good. Run Orthos (small-FFT's) to create the full load temps. Idle temps mean nothing.

I only bother reformatting/reinstalling when my OS is corrupted by my overclocking, and a repair doesn't work. I take good care of my computer to not require a reinstall due to viruses etc.

Are you able to access msconfig? If you are, you can disable ccApp.exe, which i think could be CCleaner.

A good 500W PSU will do the trick. If you plan on keeping the same PSU when you next upgrade, consider getting a 700/800W PSU.

If you decide to remove/change the GPU heatsink, then yes. But, you must spread the paste around, as the GPU core is naked, and you need it completely covered. CPU's with IHS's only need the center covered with paste, so manual spreading isn't needed.

Of course not. They're just power cables.

I was asking for a comparison. You know, both products reviewed side by side. Some of the people on newegg seem to get a slight improvement when using STG-1 over AS5. Someone else says a review found AS5 to be slightly better. One of the mods here really likes STG-1 over Zalman. She preaches...

You have a choice of using: A molex-style power cable (goes onto the 4 big pins). Or a SATA power cable. Plugs in directly next to your SATA data cable. Never ever plug in both.

To monitor temps, use Intel's TAT. Keep FULL LOAD (use Orthos to stress-test - small FFT's test) core temps at/below 55C if you can.

Have you got a link to a review comparing the 2 then?

Fan 2 and 5 (I think 5 is your rear fan) as exhaust. Also got the PSU acting as an exhaust. All the others as intake.

That's bull****. They hadn't even got a working card to benchmark ready by then, never mind start mass producing them. In theory, the R600 will outperform the G80. But, it also depends on the drivers. If the drivers suck, so will the card. Due to be released end of April I think. AMD are also...

Either Zalman STG is better than Arctic Silver (only by a small margin, though), or they're equal.

I don't bother testing performance before and after. If the overclock is completely stable, you will get an improvement.

A safe oc? The highest stable overclock you can get with core voltage set at stock voltage. When you want to increase voltage to get higher clocks, get a better heatsink first.

Here's mine. Well, by here, I mean here. It's pretty big. Found some sweet new wallpapers today, and they're 2 of 'em.

It all works with each other. You'll have to disable the onboard video in the BIOS to get the video card working. Don't forget the Operating System (unless you have one already to use).

Don't need to open the window all the way. Just enough cold air to mingle with the warm air, and keep room temp at a nice level. How windy it is decides how far to open the window.
