Hi All
Looking for some help from anyone in the know how!!
Bought a T3500 for £70, have bought a new upgraded Dell Heatsink to replace the stock model. I have a Xeon W3530 processor which i will be keeping for now. Ive got new paste etc for the new heatsink when it arrives. Have also bought and installed a GTX 750ti (brand new at a snip......£82). Im selling the old quadro graphics card. Came with a brand new 500gb hard drive and have added my old 2tb one too so plenty of space!
Now ive taken out the ram it had which was 4x2gb of both Hynix and Samsung makes. This is one of the bits i need help with. Could someone tell me definitively what Ram i can install in this system. Im under the impression i can only go as high as 1333Mhz which is fine but ive read conflicting reports in regards to ECC and NON ECC ram. What can i use? Does it have to be Non Ecc?? Or can i go for normal ram! Will be getting a gaming edition ram either way so.
Also, looking to install an extra case fan but not sure where i can fit one and what i need to fit it? Do i need a molex adaptor to do this as i believe the fan ports are already taken up by the stock fans/blowers currently installed. Just want to give this system as much ventilation as possible. If an extra fan can be installed then what is recommended?
Sorry for the long post but really want to get these issues sorted before purchasing anything more!
Thanks very much in advance!
Ben
