I finally got my new machine up and running after having numerous troubles with the motherboard. Well now that I finally have this one up and running, I am wanting to build another one so that I can put it in my room and record TV shows and then burn them to DVD. My question is what heatsink should I use? I don't plan on doing any overclocking or anything intense. I want a nice quiet fan that will still do a good job, since it will be in my room. In my new machine I use a GlobalWin 38 and the thing is noisy, but good. Any other recommendations on what I should put in this machine would be greatly appreciated. System price doesn't matter too much. Currently I am thinking of building with these components.
Gigabyte GA-7VTXH+ Motherboard AMD Athlon 1.4 TBird 266 FSB 512MB RAM 120GB Hard drive (think i need bigger? or should i set up a RAID?) Creative Labs Video Blaster Digital VCR(tv tuner card, unless there is something better) QPS Que DVD (for its compatibility to record pretty much any DVD media, unless there is something better) Graphics and sound card to be determined later Thanks for looking

As for the HSF, take your pick, AX7 or Pal-8045 with a quiet 80mm. Nvidia has an add-on card called the Personal Cinema. It is a daughter card with break-out box for sweeet video capture and time shifting. Check it for your self. RAID 0 works best for long writes, reads are about the same as a fast single drive so it really dosn't help most people. but for what you plan I would say it's a good idea.
Trust me at your own risk:lol:

yeah...but the clip sucks...thermalright is known to make crazy ass heatsinks...but comes with shietty clips...i'd pick mounting through holes over clips any day...even if it just takes a few minutes longer...its safer on the core and wont make u punch a hole in ur board with a screwdriver...but since price doesnt matter to him...mcx462 is definitely the one to get

Wow thanks for all the replies guys. Didn't know heatsinks could get that expensive. I should have known. Some pretty wild looking heatsinks though. I still haven't decided which one to go with since I am just looking for quiet not crazy cooling for overclocking. Looks like it's just a matter of getting a quiet fan to attach to the heatsink. Probably right now the Alpha PAL 8045 or thermalright AX-7. Not looking to spend $70 on a heatsink, yet. BUt thanks again for all your replys.

wait...crimson...r u planning to overclock?...if not...just get any regular quiet heatsink that'll handle to ur speed...the most common one is the volcano 5/6...they're quiet and r rated to handle certain speeds...
if ur planning to overclock...and if its mild...then go with a big heatsink and really quiet fan...if hardcore overclock...then u'd need some louder fans

No one is gonna listen to me, and I'll probably catch shit for this, but go for an OCZ Goliath, but be sure to get the Blue Meanie slim line, quiet fan. :disgust:

I think the Dynatron's are sweet and would make a good "quiet" cooler. Easy on the eyes too. You could always go with a Tt Volcano with control speed fans..

the clip does not suck burn...i think u just got a messed up one like speedy did before...nothing is perfect...the clipping mechanism is seriously dumbass proof...unless ur dumb...
HRE...the goliath is nice...big and copper...but not the best best... the best way is seriously to go with a hsf that uses 80mm fans...alpha is my choice...but it might change after i review the ax7...

Hey poiuy, don't forget the new Volcano 7+, *it's got the 80mm fan and should be just as quiet as the V7 that I have. *No it's not the "best" HSF, but it sure is in the top 5. *By the way, I'll post some pics of the V7 monster in my system soon (holy shait it's big...and pretty :bluebigeek
