Hi ,
Thanks for the reply, I was going through the pic of V10 , it looks huge, wont it block the space the express card or any additional cards you gonna had or wont it interface in any other component.

I would get a better brand PSU then that. Corsair, PCPnC, and Silverstone comes to mind.

[rahul123]

But How expensive are those? and i am not sure it is available in india.

[CaligulaPwns]

I dont know if they are available where you are at either. Look it up.

[rahul123]

Even in general, are they more expensive than cooler master or the same range.

[CaligulaPwns]

Generally a bit more expensive. Pay for a quality PSU.

Putting a crappy PSU in your PC is like buying a new car and putting an old crappy motor in it. Doesnt make sense does it?

[rahul123]

Hi i thought Cooler Master products were premium quality.

[CaligulaPwns]

It isnt terrible, however there are better brands available. It didnt even make the list here: http://forums.extremeoverclocking.co...d.php?t=136602

[rahul123]

Thanks, Will go though the list for the PSU.

BUt i am really confused on V10 or HYper . Like do you think I will require the V10 once I am over clocking the Machine.

Additional Comment:

HI,

Apart from the PSu, I still have confusion on the CPU Cooler?

DO I go for v10 or the hyper.

Keeping in mind once I get my machine , I am gonna start testing overclocking on it.

I read that the V10 is not very much fun to install according to Maximum PC. It didn't rate very well at all.

[rahul123]

I would suggest the Xigmatek HDT-S1283/S1284 or one of OCZ's Vendetta I / II heatsinks. They are going to be both cheaper and smaller than CoolerMaster's V8 and V10 and performs almost similary.

As for the PSU, get a good power supply please

Agreed, those are some good heatsinks. They use H.D.T., which is where the heat pipes have direct contact to the CPU. My Kingwin Revolution has H.D.T., and it cools my Q6600 @ 3.64GHz well enough to use 24/7! Great innovation.

the v10 is a verry large cooler but no it will not block your pci slots that 120mm fan is made to go over your ram to cool that given you are not using high profile chips with heat pipes on them like ocz reaper. the specks on that cooler are alos quite impresive. if you own a big case i would recomend the vigor gaming monsoon 3 does excelent for my quad core
