Intel Core i7 920 and Core i7 965 review http://www.guru3d.com/article/intel-core-i7-920-and-965-review/ Bobby -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of DHSinclair Sent: Monday, November 03, 2008 4:07 PM To: Hardware Group Subject: [H] Intel E8400 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
