Hi folks, yeah sorry its another amd vs intel thread
Am going to be building a new rig soon, watercooling for the first time. So i am going to be doing a bit of overclocking
Above all though, the rig must be silent....so i'm not going to clock crazily, but want to go as far as i can.
I game quite a bit, but also do a fair bit of DV encoding, so the "traditional" lines dont apply.
Ive read a few of the other threads, but now that the n-force 3 boards are out, allowing a locked PCI/AGP bus, how does that afffect the "which is better" argument, given i want to o/c?
Intended spec is roughly:
cheiftec dragon full tower,
lots of dremmeling and acoustipak deluxe matting!
4x Hitachi 7K250 250gb drives in two raid1 arrays suspended in aquadrives
1-2gb* of Corsair TwinX 1024MB 400Mhz 3200 Cas 2 Low Latency (LLPT) *depending on mobo
Sony DRU700A DVDRW
Qtechnology 350w PSU
Intel mobo: Gigabyte GA-8KNXP i875P
AMD Mobo - not sure, MSI K8N Neo Platinum at the moment
WCing likely to be a whitewater block, enheim pump (not sure yet), some serious heatercore action and a load of 5v 80mm papst and 120mm panaflo fans.
