Do they make that much of a difference?

Dust will effect the efficiency of the fans and stuff in the case. and if left will splode your puter :spam:
-
yea im looking at my case now and the amount of dust on the front panel is amazing... and thats on the front!
-
Clean your house ffs :| :D
-
Actually, the new machine came with dust filters and I thought nothing of it. One week later and there was a pile of stuff on them - amazing how much air these machines suck up nowadays!
-
yea I didnt think it would be bad that you can see it all over the fans.. its starting to build up on the fans already!

Have two of those zalmans here already and dont find a problem with them,I find the stock intels noisy unless they have improved dramaticly over the last year or so.

Although,after comapring Dermots proposed build there and other stuff i have to add just might wander over to overclockers to put a price together,seems it might turn out cheaper than komplett.

overclockers is nearly always cheaper! And you get to pick what day its delivered.. lol :P

other way round in my experience. ASUS boards are generally great for overclocking features and stability. Like any manufacturer, they've had ups and downs, but they continue to roll out good quality hardware for the enthusiasts like us.
-
aye prob just the one i got turned me of them for good
-
I think fr0do and nietschean both have ASUS mobo's and they keep saying nothing but bad things. REally just seems to be luck of the draw...

Not the case I wanted but everything else is pretty spot on. Nearly at my ?600 budget. The CPU and Mobo are pretty good spec so should allow for a slight OC.

My Asus striker extreme has had a lot of bad press, but it works like a dream for me.
These kids don't know how to overclock and fuck the boards up as a result. They then moan that the board is shite.
But yes, sometimes there might be a dodgy bios.
-
same cpu, mobo and gfx card as me Abe :?:
Not had a chance to use it yet tho!
