James,
It appears you either have no soul; or, you have no experience on this List.
I run what I brung........... :)
YMMV.
I'll do the voltage business in due time............. :)
Best,
Duncan

Are you serious? a G200 PCI?
Why on earth would you bother to carry forward a... ten? year old PCI
graphics card?
Is it even the right PCI voltage for a modern box?
BTW, The plan is to migrate a G200 card forward. The new m/b does
have PCI slots (2)..... :)
This just may be either 'way-too-much-fun', 'way-too- expensive' ,or,
'way-too-stupid.'
Me? I betting on the 'way-too-stupid' choice.......LOL!!!!!
Sometimes Science can drop a bomb!
At this point, I am forced to react to whatever.
Thank you,
Duncan

I always get a after market fan, and I don't overclock. A good CPU
cooler like Arctic Cooler, which is Swiss made, is just a LOT
quieter then stock. You can get one at Newegg, a Freezer 7, which
will handle up to 135 watts, for under 30 bucks.

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.
I'm experimenting with a Xigmatek thing at the moment, which does a
very good job, but for stock clock the retail one is absolutely
fine.
Almost seems like a shame to leave an E8400 stock though, I've yet
to
encounter one that wasn't stable at 3.6Ghz without even looking at
the
voltage setting. :p
Not that I'm saying you have to or anything, it's totally cool to
like
the peace of mind that comes from big safety margins.
