This Intel S5520SC motherboard supports both Intel Xeon Processor 5600 Series (Westmere), and Intel Xeon Processor 5500 Series (Nehalem-EP) CPUs. Do to cooling considerations, I highly recommend using the Antec P193 case for adequate cooling with this motherboard. It's also important to note that you will need to choose at least a 1000W power supply to have the proper power connections needed for this motherboard. |

Our Puget Hydro liquid cooling systems are a nice way to easily liquid cool your CPU. This is a completely sealed system, so you don't need to worry with maintaining the fluid levels. They offer better CPU cooling than air cooled solutions, but there is a slight pump noise. However, AcoustiPack can compensate for that. |

This DVD-ROM drive only reads DVD and CD. To be able to write to DVD and CD as well as read them, you will want to get a DVD-RW instead. |

This is an excellent drive if you are looking for a cool and quiet operating drive along with higher capacity. This drive does run around 5400RPM, where traditional drives run around 7200RPM, so there will be a performance hit when accessing data on these drives. It's worth mentioning that these drives use 4KB sectors instead of 512B sectors, so if you intend to install Windows XP on your own with these drives, make sure to run the WD Align utility to allow you to properly install on this drive. |

This 2TB WD MyBook Studio Edition is a fantastic backup device! It has a great selection of options to connect to your computer with Firewire 400 (1394a), Firewire 800 (1394b), eSATA, and USB 2.0. This external device contains two 1TB 'Green' hard drives. You have the option to setup this external hard drive in RAID 1 (where the two 1TB drives mirror the data on both drives for data security in case 1 drive were to fail you still have your data available on the remaining drive). Your other option is to setup this external hard drive in RAID 0 (where pieces of your data files are split and copied to the seperate drives in an effort to increase reading and writing speed.) When set in RAID 1, the total amount of available space is 1TB. When set in RAID 0, the total amount of available space is 2TB. The included software walks you through setting the RAID options. With no fans needed, this device is also VERY quiet! In fact, I was so impressed with this external drive that I bought one myself! |

UV cabling and lighting really makes for a nice looking system with an eerie-glow. If you're thinking of going with additional lighting, UV is the way to go for a liquid cooled system. |

This is a nice improvement over the previous CPU-340 design. The CPU-345AT uses a larger surface area for better cooling, while keeping the outter silver mount smaller overall to leave more room for other components. Use this CPU waterblock when you intend to have your video card(s) liquid cooled in the same cooling loop. |
 | Jeff Stubbers (Customer Service) Says:
This CPU block works best if you have minimal cooling blocks in your cooling loop. If you plan on cooling dual or triple Crossfire/SLI in the same loop, you would be better off with the CPU-345AT cooling solution rather than this one. |
 | Jeff Stubbers (Customer Service) Says:
I'm quite impressed with how quiet these CPU coolers are! Near silent, these CPU coolers do a much better job of cooling the CPU and chipset than the stock solution, and do it with much less noise as well! This is my top choice in a CPU cooler for an air-cooled Core 2 system. |
