I am upgrading a friends box and thought I would throw this to the community. This is my best bud so I want to steer him right. He is a gamer but not an overclocker/modder, so I get to do all the build/modding on his rig.
He currently is running this:
AMD 9600BE, Gigabyte GA-MA770-DS3, Patriot Viper DDR2 1066 4x1, HD3870 512Mb, 2x500 1x320 Seagate SATAII, SATA DVDRW, 750w PSU, Gigabyte Aurora Case.
He has $1k to spend and wants to H20 cool the proc (never done this before) . Like I say he doesnt't like getting in the case, so he needs low maintenance cooling.
I am thinking a PII 940 on a 790GX/FX board with a pair of 4870s in xfire. Really need assistance with the easiest cooling solution that will still dissipate heat from a fairly heavy clock on the 940. Also, suggestions on good case fans. Noise is really not an issue as a fan controller is used. Suggestions?
