It'd be very nice. I think the pros in the hardware forum would reccomend you use the Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 CPU cooler but I don't know personally if yours there is better than the Freezer.

I take it you intend to overclock? The 3800+ is one of the best clockers out there.

 

Unoverclocked, if sometimes beign used for games etc. You'll average around 110ppd.

 

wow that's not a bad price for the spec

think i'd be tempted to go for some cheaper RAM but get 2x1GB instead - the A64s are meant to be able to run the ram on a divider without losing the performance like with the SocketA kit

apart from that it's mighty tempting for me too

 

Good point rich, the Geil Value 2x1gig will be plenty good enough.

 

I'm with oceaness. I'd get the more expensive, tighter timed RAM even if there is less of it. For FAH running two threads you won't have any trouble with a gig.

I call it a good thing.

 

ahh fair enough - yeah the tighter timings and higher bus speed will definately make a difference to the WUs which like lots of ram bandwidth

i was just worried that two clients folding large WUs along with a fairly demanding game and windows might be asking a bit much of 1GB, if the games aren't gonna be so much of an issue then that's not to worry about

 

Pretty crap. Those AMD things are dodgy.

I suggest you ship it to me to, er, test first. My Bahamas address would be best.

 

And guess what... both my 3800+'s are running stock

 

duds, tbh

 

Bigstan loves both his Freezer 7 and Freezer 64s enough to give them a big offshore hug. It's true.

 

Nah just means I can OC em and close the gap to you even quicker

 

I do like the freezers although I have recently started using SI120s fitted with Akasa Amber fans. They seem to be about on a par with the freezers, cooling-wise but considerably quieter to run

According to custompc the EVO 120 is pretty rubbish, its very quiet, not a very good cooler, overpriced. Go for a scythe ninja or an freezer 64 pro.
The rest of the rig wil be bottlenecked if you play games with that 7300GS

Should be a good cruncher though.

 

I would go for a cheaper motherboard, the Ultra-D would be fine for clocking to a decent speed. This is of-course if you don't want/need SLI functionality.

Like people have said, 2gb of Geil RAM would net you more ppd than 1gb of faster RAM.

Try and get a better graphics card second hand somewhere for a similar price, the 7300 won't perform too well in games. Try and get a 6600GT or something like that.

The Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro is very good for the price, although you could get anything really, look for reviews though before buying something that's silly cheap.
