Its a "OK" cooler. Probably not what I would buy if I wanted anything more than a average OC, definitely wouldnt buy it if noise is an issue for you.

That motherboard is overpriced. You can literally shave off £40-30 if you ditch this silly crosssfire fascination. If you must have crossfire here is a slightly cheaper board.

Asus M4A88T-V EVO/USB3 880G £80
Asus M4A88T-V EVO/USB3 880G Socket AM3 ONboard 128...

if it only cost £100, would it be better value than the m4a88t?

[innthe]

because i found a place where it costs 100

Buying a crossfire board when you have no intensions of running crossfire is never value for money. The board costs £100 and offers little to nothing that a cheaper board couldnt get you, heck you could probably find a crossfired 785G chipset for less than £70.

[innthe]

so will i not get either of those two?

[innthe]

well it doesnt have to have crossfire, but id like one that has the button to overclock it

There is no button to overclock a motherboard. The overclocking features are digital within the bios. All decent motherboard chipsets i.e. 785G, 880G, 890GX chipset will have atleast basic overclocking features.

so will i get this one?ASUS M4A78LT-M Socket AM3 AMD SB710 DVI VGA HDMI 8..., why is it so cheap though, is it only missing crossfire?and would it run well on an amd x6?i might get this fan too Scythe SCNJ-3000 Ninja 3 Socket LGA1366, 1156, 775...

[innthe]

It's so cheap because its based on the 760G chipset which is old.


The Scythe SCNJ-3000 is a good heatsink, be careful because that heatsink is often physically too big to fit inside most cases literally.

Edit:

If you dont need crossfire get this, Asus M4A88T-M 880G Socket AM3.

I dont own the Scythe Ninja nor that case so I couldnt tell you whether it will fit. My suspicions is that the side panel will not close with the Scythe installed.



Arctic Cooling Freezer Xtreme Revision 2, Zalman CNPS8700, and Zalman CNPS 9700 are good heatsinks, again the size might be an issue for the case like the Scythe.

Edit:

Find a review that states the height of the heatsink. Then find the internal measurements for the case. Then you'll know.

You make me so mad, so upset that I can not even think straight.


I already told you which card to buy because I already knew that for £135 you was getting a "BETTER" than average deal on that sapphire, I hunt around the internet to find you that amazing deal.

You keep saying "this is supposed" to perform better than this, but according to which article? according to which review. Yes you just pull out some magical performance table out your ass. There is no way any version of the 6850 would come near the 6870!

That "Toxic Edition" is nothing faster than a regular 6850, congratulations you spent £20 more than you had too. The term flushing money down the toilet applies here. Heck you could of bought a 5850 which would of still been faster and cheaper!

Edit:

To further drill home your poor choice, even if you went Nvidia the GTX 460 1GB could of been had for £25 less. Inno3D GTX 460 1GB GDDR5

[innthe]

naa, i didnt order it,i just said that so id get a quick reply cuz i had everything else ordered but the gpu, so ill get the hd 6850, thanks for your help

edit:
i ordered the zalman cnps9700 too
