I thought about the OS and I am pretty sure that the replacement disk that I have will not install, so I am picking up an OS. I was looking and I want to go with the Windows 7 Proffesional OEM English. I know OEM has some guidelines. But it says something about OPK needed to be preinstalled on the HDD before installing the software? How do I do this? has anyone done this before? Thanks
Apart from supporting more than 32 gigs of ram is there anything different between proffesional and home premium Thanks
Pro has more back-up features and the ability to connect to a domain. Home 64-bit is limited to 16GB of RAM including RAM on graphics cards.
Thanks for the link strangehold, I think I'll just go with home premium, I don't need the professional features Thanks
Ok all set with my build, not going for CPU cooling for the moment but which one do you guys prefer H100 or Noctua NH-D14? Thanks
D14 of those 2. The H100i is much better, but I would still go for a D14. If you want water, do it right, not one of those posers that are not very much better than a air cooler.
If you have high-profile RAM, get the H100. If not, get the Noctua. Be warned though that the Noctua is massive. I'd get the H100 myself.
the h-series coolers are very nice, espically with the integrated fan controller, just be sure to do a pull configuration, with push/pull isnt much worth, and having set to pull allows you to clean the heatsink more easily. i gotta elongate some holes on my 1200 so i can set the fans up right
Knut, you are going with a K-series processor aren't you, like an i5 3570K? Because if not (say you're going for a 3470), I don't actually really see the point in aftermarket cooling as the non-K chips can't be overclocked. You should be able to get a nice overclock with a 3570K with either the D14 or a H100 though.
Yes. I would not. The price to performance just is not there. You can get much better temps with a real water cool kit, and for not much money more. Only $10 more. The h100i will not be $30-40 better performance than a NH-D14. However, if you would get a raystorm RS240 Extreme kit, you will not match the temps with an air cooler. http://www.frozencpu.com/products/1...ng_Kit_w_Free_Dead-Water.html?tl=g30c321s1310
Yes I have ordered all the parts and I am waiting for them. For now I went with the stock cooler, Ill go for some really high tech thing in the future, not overclocking as soon and I get it... Thanks everyone for all the help
