Yeah, but at nearly Ã,£300 each it's not something that I really need. 15 second boot time (after post) is fast enough for me :D

This cooler; Titan Fenrir (http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Titan-Fenrir-TTC-NK85TZ-120mm-PWM-17dBAplus-HDT-CPU-Cooler-%28775-1366-K8-AM2-AM3%29)

What PSU are you using?
I'm licking my lips at this thread:dribble:

Post by: Gandalf on December 03, 2009, 11:09:40 AM
This PSU (http://www.misco.co.uk/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=281494&Tab=0&NoMapp=0)

The only issue I have with it is the lead length is a little short as fitted in the case (http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Silverstone-TJ07B-W-Black-Aluminium-Full-Tower-Case-with-Window-ATX-E-ATX-SSI-%28w-o-PSU%29) I can't route the mobo power connectors to my liking.

Apart from the Titan Fenrir, what case cooling have you got?
*wonders whether I could cram it all into my case*
/daydream:rolleyes:
edit: just noticed fans included with case
Title: New PC
Post by: Gandalf on December 03, 2009, 11:19:00 AM
yeah, there are six fans in the case. Two in the roof, two exhaust at the rear and two at the bottom blowing across the HDD bay area. It's a stunning case, and one I intend to keep for many upgrades. It's always worth getting the best case you can as they will last a long time.

Removable mobo tray too helps a lot!

Hi Gandalf.
I'm Fr. Giulio Marcone (a friar) from Italy.
I've got your same system: same cpu, same MotherBoard, same Memory Kit.

I've got 2 questions for you:
I noticed that your system reports (like mine) 6135 Mb of ram, but should't it be 6144? (1024x6)...

Another question:
I'm running a simple O.C. (3,2Ghz) with it.
If i change cooler (titan fenrir is not sold in Italy, which one can I use?) and psu, can I try your same O.C.?
Can you send me your bios profile?

Finally,
I've got a little trouble since 6 weeks:
every morning, when I turn on the pc for the first time, it logs in Windows but some seconds after, I get a BSoD with code 1A.

The next auto restart makes the pc stable, and I can use it for hours.
But the next day, when I turn it on another time... I've to wait first start -> BSOD -> second start...

Can you suggest me what could cause this error?
I've already run MemTest86+, OCCT, Everest and they say ALL OK...

Thank you, and sorry for my bad english...
