Don't listen to haxxiy about the cooling, you always want your pc to be as cool as possible. Heat is the #1 cause of failure in PC's, whether it be due to dust build up, overclocking or just simply putting a hot PC in tiny enclosed space. Build it yourself and make sure you have plenty of fans in the PC for good airflow. 120mm fans can be ultra quiet, you won't even notice them. |
Insanity! I've never heard about such heat failures in standard components unless you have someone retarded trying to do overclock or a very crappy built-in cooler. And that guy isn't even going for a high-end GPU or such.
That's talking about processors, of course. Hard disks always need some type of extra cooling, specially if you buy a Samsung one. You can fry an egg over their HDDs.
