Hi,
I built a new computer using a Zenith 9CJS mobo, and i installed an intel
p4 3.2ghz Prescott chip(that I didn't even get a chance to tweak and that
I heard ran hot to begin with), and one gig of Corsair Dual Channel PC-
4400 on it, NICE.
And for cooling i purchased a GlobalWin Silent Stream Water Cooling Kit.
And for a case I got a X-SuperAlien Atxa6sw/500, which is nice but
noisy.
O.k. it was all working rather nicely until the Silent Streams water pump
decided to stop, which then fried my Prescott. (At least I beleive that's
what happened... I got home and the computer was off, so I restarted it
and the pump was making a real nasty sound, and the computer would turn
it-self off before full boot. Plus the tubes at the Pump/chip had a brown
tinge to them.) BUMMER.
So now I'm in the market for a new P4 chip. I'm looking for the best chip
for the 9CJS. One that i can over clock a bit and will not run to hot (i
live in the California desert), and costs around $300.00 or so.
I'm also looking for a little advice on a cooling solution. (thinking
about water cooling again eccept not so cheap, maybe a Zalman Reserator
w/ a different case. One that's quieter, with-out so many fans.)
What do you think... any ideas?
Thanks,
