I can get a refund if im not happy with it ? heh.

Even though im a filthy pirate I bought a copy of windos xp and paid for installation and building of the pc. Total price was just over 900 including postage and everything else. If I want to overclock, will I need more fans or is what I have ok ?

If u want to beat the crap out of the rig over clocking it you can buy a cheap fan and heat sink. U simply screw the fan onto the north bridge, and stick the heat sink with the pad that comes with it so the Southbridge, that’s it. Not really necessary unless u are a stats freak, but no harm anyway.

Edit: dont do this till ur sure u want it

There is a review of the board here http://techgage.com/article/asus_p5n-e_sli/ , In it he says the north bridge gets hot (has heat sink), but the southbridge is fine (no heat sink).

PC arrived yesterday, woo! Will set it up tonight after I have backup all my files and report back on its performance. Took a long long time to arrive from time of order.

Glad to hear it.. What kind of condition did it arrive in? How was it packaged?

Packed very well. One massive cardboard box with everything in it surrounded by foam. Seems to be in perfect condition, set up now but haven't tried any games on it apart from Morrowind which ran perfectly.

Tusky

Hey, so Ive tried the pc out with a few different games and they all ran perfectly with all settings maxed out on high resolution.

Stalker
Never Winter Nights 2
Company Of Heroes
Oblivion
Medieval Total War 2

Thanks guys! Will over clock the processor soon.
