I'm replacing a 6.5 year old system I built in 2002 with an Asus A7V266-E, XP1800+, and Geforce Ti300. Also got Vista 64 with SP1.

Is the AC Freezer 7 Pro still considered a good HSF? I think so for the price, but not the best overall. Hope it fits.

Been reading this thread for a while now... lot's of good information. Definitely the best Intel MB forum I've seen out there. I will probably have questions as I start to OC.

I got a similar setup and I have that AC freezer 7, I think its pretty good. I dont feel too uncomfortable overclocking, my cpu idles at about 35 stock settings.

However I bought that same memory, sorry to break it to you but i thought it was crap, i put some OCZ pc3 1600 platinum in there the other day. HUGE improvement. Yes it costs more (60$ more) but the performance was way worth it.
