Try this one from Xigmatek. I use it on my Gigabyte EP45-UD3P socket 775 with a Q6600 and it's overclocked to 3.4ghz and runs extremely cool for a 1ghz oc http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835233003

ME!! ME!! Pick ME!! haha Could always use another psu. I already have the ModXtreme 600w and love it!

Doesn't Arctic Silver need some time to cure? If you just mounted the cooler recently, give it a bit of time. As was already said, those temps are not bad, they could just be better, especially if you plan to overclock. AS5 also has a pretty decent tutorial on how to apply. Here's the link for...

I would have thought they'd be lower too. Mine runs at 35-36c (idle) with 20c ambient temps clocked at 3.9+ghz (C0 @ 1.416v Vcore) I use a single coolermaster R4 fan, 120mm 25mm @ about 70cfm Loaded down it runs around 64-65c What thermal paste did you use and what are your system specs? Also...

I can verify that they do indeed have troubles with EX58 bds. I own a GA-EX58-UD3R and bought one in anticipation of going SLI. It is a extremely good-looking and feature-packed psu but all that doesn't matter if it won't turn on. It's not just the EVGA Classified bds it has trouble with. It...

Thanks for the reply. I did find SPEEDFAN but I didn't load it. I actually gave up on the Dell when the PC locked up during the Dell utility hard drive read test. Also the network connection would drop if I moved the case or touched the cat5e cable or RJ45 connector. The audio never worked and...

Hi chklin, First off I'd like to say thanks for such a comprehensive review of this PC. The photos were great too. I also purchased one and I had a few questions that maybe you can help me answer. I don't have an issue with noisy fans but I may have the reverse. My processor overheats and...
