So im looking at using this pc for gaming. Right now i have for it is AMD Athlon X2 4400+ Dual Core. I was thinking about getting this water cooling http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...MP=OTC-B1zrat3 This is my first watercooling. I Think im going to get 2 Gig of ram Corsair. Not sure about the motherboard but i was thinking an asus. I am going to get a tv tuner. And my Video card i want to go with ATI.
Need Help Choosing Case- Good for watercooling Video card- ATI Motherboard- Asus And i want to get sATA 2 i have right now sATA whats the difference is it just a little faster? |

Why do you want watercooling?
It is really not necessary. Just use the heatsink/fan that comes with the retail boxed processor as to not void the warranty. SATA I operates at 1.5 Gb/s whereas SATA II operates at 3.0 Gb/s. So essentially it is twice as fast. |

The real world difference between SATA 1.5Gb/s and SATA 3.0Gb/s is nil. That speed is just the therotical burst (not sustained) interface speed. There's no way the hard drive can read/write data off/to the platters anywhere near that speed. SATA 3.0Gb/s drives are backwards compatible with SATA 1.5Gb/s controllers, and vice versa.

True, it is just theoretically faster.

I know that.
I just wanted to know why he wanted that. Sometimes, it is not necessary. Just because something looks cool, doesn't mean that it is right for you. |
