    Best cooler for Q9450

    UltimaSlayerVII: How easy are the pushpins to install(the ones on my stock intel cooler were a pain in the but to install). I'd take the Xigmatek one over the freezer pro 7, just so I can get brackets to install it.

    Best cooler for Q9450

    I have a Q9450 on a Asus PQ5 Pro mobo inside a Thermaltake Armor+MX and I want to overclock my CPU to 3.2ghz or maybe to 3.6ghz, and lower my temps too. I plan on getting a XIGMATEK HDT-S963 92mm Rifle CPU Cooler(I don't think the 120mm version will fit in my case), the mounting brackets and...

    New system build finally complete!

    83c idle for the 4870x2 doesn't sound that bad, my 4870 runs at 71c idle. I would recommend Rivatuner 2.11 for fanspeed and temp monitor. I change the fanspeed to 35% and it now idles at about 44c.

    <$2000 rig

    For starters get a Q9550 saves you $220. Do you really need a 300gb velociRaptor? And that powersupply is overkill unless you plan on crossfiring sometime down the road. Also, do you really need vista ultimate?

    Big problem, not sure what to do.

    I had the same thing happen with my comp I built last month. It was cause my GPU was DOA. So that might be the problem. Ohh btw your links aren't working

    4870 Fanspeed problem

    I downloaded 0.27 but when I try to run it, I get the Kernel driver error. Which i've read can be fixed by disabling checking for signed drivers. But I don't know how to do that, and i'm not sure if its a good idea to do that. Do you know how and if its safe? Thanks for your help!
