The PC-building/hardware knowledge thread
Nodaisho:
doubleposting up in here to double-check on something. I know I asked this before, but some of the links from the last discussion are dead, and this time I'm giving someone else advice, so I want to make absolutely certain I don't mess it up. A socket 775 P4 will work in a Core2 mobo, right? I see on newegg some that say they work for pentiums, some that just say they work for core2s, but they are all socket 775s.
bicostp:
Most likely, but to be absolutely sure you should check the CPU compatibility list for your motherboard's chipset.
Nodaisho:
Is it the north bridge or the south bridge that matters? Or is it both?

Troll, did you buy that stuff yet?

I wound up building an i5-750 (@3.8ghz) with a heatpipe style arctic cooler, 4 gigs ram with a Radeon 5850. The parts were inexpensive and very efficient. No parts were DOA.

So I installed a new heatsink for my CPU yesterday.
This here is the heatsink.
Put a couple of Scythe 120mm fans on it and it's dropped my CPU temp by a good 20c. Gonna try and see what it does full load sometime this week I think.
Next on my list is a Video Card Heatsink for my Radeon 5770. This one here will do nicely I think.
Edit - Few hours with a torture test and the CPU never broke 45c.
