Decided to build my system using the Arctic Cooler (since I ordered this before I knew it needed to be modded and that BT was recommended).
Abit IP35-e,
e2160 1.8 Ghz Dual Core,
2x1GB Crucial Ballistix DDR2 800 (2.2v),
Cooler Master RC-690-KKN1-GP MidTower Case allows for 7 fans...
Dang, I drink coffee. :)
Would it help to lap the HS and is it not to difficult?
An interesting link on lapping and modding the BT:

I think I may be selling my Arctic Cooler unopened. :)
Sure, I would probably get the AC to work, but why go through the hassle if it isn't as efficient as the BT. At least this is my thinking.
SerpentRoyal - Do we want the Big Typhoon and not the Big Typhoon VX? Just want to make...
jhigh2000 - Sounds cool (better to err on the safe side for sure), did you have any problems with the Ballistix memory or your OC?
hokiealumnus - So you ended up going with the BT? I saw some posts of yours over at ABIT's forums. How long did it take for you to get an openbox, or did you...
Thanks for the help guys. Much appreciated. May keep watching to see if a BT comes up openbox. We are probably competing with each other for them. (Thanks to SerpentRoyal :))
1) jhigh2000 - Good to hear you were able to use the Crucial Ballistix. Were you able to push your system past...
Thanks jnk,
I found that it was a tight fit after I had ordered it. :(
I am glad other people have paved the way ahead of me, but still not looking forward to it. Especially when SerpentRoyal is reporting that it doesn't cool as well as the BT. There haven't been any openboxes on newegg...
Sorry, I wasn't more clear. Those were theoretical numbers based on your posts yesterday with jhigh2000 (who also has Crucial Ballistix). I was trying to figure out what might be better and why. My equipment comes tomorrow, so I haven't had a chance to test anything yet. Excited by the...
Oops. I got the bios version mixed up. Based on your quote above I am going to go with 12.
SerpentRoyal,
If the following was true, which would you go with and why?
1) 3-3-3-8-2T @ 333MHz (2.1v). Stable.
2) 4-4-4-12-2T @ 400MHz (2.2v). Stable.
3) 4-4-4-12-2T @ 333MHz (1.9v). Stable...
Just finished reading through the entire thread. Phew!
Unfortunately, I ordered the DDR2 800 Crucial Ballistix 2.2v before I realized SerpentRoyal was recommending 1.8v memory. I also ordered the Arctic Cooling Freezer Pro before I saw the recommendation of the Big Typhoon. Not looking...
