OK guys, 2 days ago i got my second pc ever after 4 months of what can be described as a "nightmare" with my original pc.
So this new one Im tryin my hardest to get things right and have this Pc specced up decently with NO problems.
SO graphics is now 5900XT and ram is 1gb Kingston, sound is 5.1 - all no problem.Just ugraded power supply to 550Wt from 280.
Now my questions start, Thermal coolers and the whole discussion of cooling confuses me somewhat - I went into a shop the other day looking at all these fans they had, only to find they were all AMD, I have P4. No good there then.
So how easy are these to fot? Is it just physical space on yur pc thats an issue apart from getting a P4 one for me and not a AMD one.
And whats all these thermal coolers I see that look like fancy HEAD units in car stereo systems?? How do they work, what do they do (apart from the obvious) how/where do they fit and most importantly how much difference do they make on a performance and maintenance pspective?? I have the money here to keep my machine upgraded and (more importantly) running at 100%
Im looking at optimizer programmes as well (had a demo of system mechanic 4) to help me along with my maintenance so any other advice on this front is greaty appreciated.
Many thanks guys
