Greg,
OK, I think I will do the E8400-retail. Are there any negative comments
about the hs/fan that comes with the E8400? New hs/fans are possible for
future needs as conditions warrant; and, would most likely go to
ThermalRight unless a better cooler exists................ :)
The cases are all Lian-Li PC69's (that have been a good investment from
years past!).
The case fans are not an issue; can be updated as required.
Over the years, I have found that most default hs/fan combos from intel
work well at the box chip speeds........... I do not plan to
overclock. The 3.0GHz speed is just fine.
Comments welcome?
Thanks,
Duncan
