I got plenty of all that for sure. My P/S is much to large. The CPU |
| 18 |
cooler is plain huge for the CPU I got. I don't know what the memory |
| 19 |
could do but I just run it at stock speeds. |

When I build a rig, I try to buiild it like a tank. The military type |
| 22 |
tank. I try to build to last at least 7 or 8 years maybe 9. I'm sort of |
| 23 |
disappointed if this mobo is going out already. It's way to early for |
| 24 |
my liking. I think it is only like 3 years old. My old Abit was about |
| 25 |
8 years old and it was working fine, just slowly. ;-) |
