Here's a good guide re: methods to spread thermal paste (I used the two line method) http://benchmarkreviews.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=170&Itemid=38 My build; i7 920 D0, Intel Dx58so, 3x2gb DDR3 1366, Cogage True Spirit (using AS5) with Thermalright bolt through kit...

Thanks Marc, after reading the review I ordered up the Cogage True Spirit @ http://www.svc.com/truespirit.html Plus its $5 less than MSRP. I also ordered the Thermalright BTK-1366 Bolt-Thru Kit. Seems a bit more secure than the standard push pins. It'll go perfect with my new build; Intel i7...

Helped a friend upgrade his m7277c from ATI X1950Pro to BFG 8800gt. Both cards are of same length, The BFG fits and by specs uses less power.

Boy I see what you mean. Not much room for a HSF. http://www.silentpcreview.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=42630&highlight=aria The Zalman CNPS7000b-ALCU w/ 775 adaptor just barely fits

Are you sure you want a E8400 stock HSF. It pretty small in relation to the stock HSF of the old Pentium D's. If you want to go after-market, Scythe Mini should fit.http://www.silentpcreview.com/article754-page1.html

Eureka, I've found this thread. Just finished my SFF build on Sunday, January 27. E8400, Asus P5E-VM HDMI, Antec Neo HE550, Samsung SH-S203N, Zerotherm Nirvana, Corsair XMS2 2GB, Seagate 160GB HD, case is a old Ahanix Plasma that I bought but never used. To be installed BFG 8800GT...

Asus P5E-VM HDMI works out of the box. Booted up with the shipping BIOS, and I flashed to the latest BIOS just now.

Conclusion Conroe spanks AMD FX-62. Link to Hexus article Just get the chip released. I want to build a new computer!

This Asus board should work well. Link to Asus press release Asus P5B based on Intel P965. Will the P965 be better or Nvidia NForce 590 for Conroe/Core Duo?

AMD... be afraid, be very afraid. Intel is launching on a accelerated schedule, cutting prices on old processors, and now Intel is claiming that the Core Duo E4700 will far outperform the AMD FX60 chip. If they don't outperform Intel has alot of egg on its face. What a great time for...
