hey bro thanks for the detailed suggestions!! :)
For ram does it matter whether its CL9 or CL10? and should i get 4gbx2 or 8gb?



okok thanks for the suggestions :) The Nzxt h230 very swee sia. as for the PSU 500W is confirm enuff right?

Yeap 500w is enough for a single GPU setup. At most of the time it will be loaded not more than 60%.

Cl9 or 10 won't give you a noticeable performance boost. To go 1 stick or 2 sticks of rams, well it depends on you. Although yes I do agree that dual channel sticks when eithe one of them is faulty at least the other is still working. But yes dual channel is slightly more expensive. Almost $20 difference.

Yeap h230 is a nice chassis. Do a search in my profile for more unboxong and reviews. Got more pics to see. ;)

hey bro. ask u ah do you use special software to keep ur c drive in check? for me my c drive always increase in size. because

1.of the temp download etc, even after i clean them once a month.

2 all game save files are located automatically in c drive, which is a headache

3. some software still does not have options to change installation

planning to get a ssd too so currently considering the size. wont get soon cause overseas now

I everyday also take note of where it goes.

I have set my Chrome downloads to HDD, So all the temp downloads goes there. Some games like Origin games uses cloud savings. So there isnt any save files in my SSD. Torrent downloads goes into my HDD. Itunes rip CD specifies the save path to HDD. Games that does not need intensive loading can just put into HDD. Don't need to put in SSD.

If softwares does not specify the installation options, install finish then shift over to HDD loh.

Drivers are installed in HDD.

They did tests on ram speed(1333mhz,1600mhz...etc) and timing(CL9,CL10...etc). like at most 3 fps or something. Not worth.

though RAMs standard speed would be 1600mhz CL9.

You can just ignore them and get what ever brand you want also as long they have lifetime warranty.

You should always get identical RAMs in Pair. Reason is because Majority of motherboards uses Dual Channel(requires RAM to work in pairs to increase efficiency).

You can use 3 Rams or a single ram. But your speed will not be as efficient as using a pair of ram.

You can also use 2 pairs of ram(4 sticks). It will be considered as dual channel and will go according to the lowest pair. Doing this will have some possible complications as if you use different pairs of ram with different timing its possible to cause errors. But so fair I have tried and not much problems for me. The other problem is as there are 4 sticks now, the chances of ram failure is high. Therefore just go for 4gb x 2 RAM.

:eek: finish install then move? then change the registry key isit?


Drivers isit all must install at the same place as OS? as in there isnt an option to change location? normally in sys32

Can change registry key. Some do not need.

Drivers some drivers need to be stored in sys32. Some does not need.

Tradepac. Hot? Nah. Won't be. Get a good airflow by having good wire management. Lesser wires lesser clutters lesser heat trap. Make sure dust is kept at the minimal.
