BestConfigs: High-End Intel Gaming PC

[blazorthon]

Tom's did a review of some Arctic air coolers recently and they found them to be fairly excellent. Looking up reviews for the Hybrid seems to show it doing better than any stock, non-reference cooler, including the WindForce x3 cooler from Gigabyte, but the Hybrid is very expensive. Besides, for Nvidia's cards, even fully overclocked, they simply don't produce so much heat that anything more than the good non-reference coolers can't handle. Save the great coolers for the AMD Radeon 79xx cards that can overvolt like crazy because Nvidia's cards are just about all voltage locked these days.

I'd use the change to buy some snacks and possibly a few Steam games.
