Hi Everyone,
I am planning to purchase a CPU Cooler for my rig and my budget is 4.5K ~ 5K,
I am confused on what to buy between these 2 coolers-
Corsair Hydro H-50 (Water Cooling Kit) and Prolimatech Meghalem Rev.B (Air Cooler)
Suggest me which cooler I should opt for....Any other Cooler suggestions are also welcome...
Cheers,
sid

^ are you going for extreme overclocking - if yes then go for liquid cooling otherwise air cooler would suffice -
Prolimatech Meghalem - is a good choice
or [FONT=&quot]Coolermaster V8-Rs :4820/- you can look for it.

The Cooler Master V8 looks so massive as if its going to tear my mobo apart :)...
But how much is the performance difference between Prolimatech Meghalem and CM V8..??

Hey!!.....
I can't really answer your question as i don't have much experience in these things as such. Over and above that this reply really is not related to your thread at all. I'm having problems starting a new thread because of god-alone-knows what so i'm putting forward the query here as it also is about the components of a gaming rig.Hope you don't mind!!

i have chosen the following for the setup:

Gigabyte P58 UD7-Motherboard
ATI Radeon HD 5770-Graphics Card
Intel i7 920-Processor
Corsair 1000HX-Power supply
Cooler Master Cosmos S-Cabinet

The monitor,keyboard and mouse are not of concern as of now.The main focus is the cabinet and all its components. My budget is around 80K and the following are the doubts which i have....

1) I cannot find a review of the P58 UD7 anywhere on the internet. The local hardware vendor claims it supports 3 way SLI, USB 3.0 and eSata and 6 gb/sec. I'd would prefer reading a review if one exists or else if any of you are aware of better motherboards please do tell me.

2) The graphics card seems pretty good but if there are better options i would like to know.

If there are any changes that you want to make to my initial line-up, you are welcome to do so but as i said, i need a really strong system so please keep that in mind.

Many thanks in advance!

The motherboard you are talking about is Gigabyte GA-X58-UD7 not Gigabyte P58 UD7....
You can read it's review here -- *benchmarkreviews.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=458&Itemid=69 and here --*www.legitreviews.com/article/1210/1/
This is a good Motherboard but what price did your vendor quote for it ??
and yes this board has USB 3.0, SATA 6Gb/s, 3 Way SLI and CrossFire-X....

1. Why are you getting such a powerful PSU.
2. What RAM will you get. Ideally you should get 2 x 3 GB DIMMs.
3. If you are excluding monitor and have 80K reserved, than you should be able to manage a better GPU.
4. You plan to OC --- OEM HSF.

If, that is the board you want, which Sid_gamer has pointed to. That is a wonderful board. Stuffed with features. You will get x16 x16 Xfire, and it is nForce certified too, for SLI. Great board. Will OC like hell.

@Sid_gamer
Yes i will be overclocking my rig. Not extreme levels but OC is a must.
I believe my vendor quoted it for around 12k.

@FilledVoid
Yes, i'm unable to post a thread. Keeps on saying that i don't have certain privileges or that my account has not been activated yet. i activated my account 3 times already.Nothing happened so i just posted a reply!

Which GPU should i go for then?

@Hades:
Keep the RAM in multiples of 3. For tri-channel optimization on the X58 QPI. Your GPU requirement, would depend on the resolution you plan to game at.
