Currently I'm using ASUS P5KC, with XFX GF8800GTX 768.
Friday night (it's always friday, so I have to wait 3 days to get my shit fixed) 2-nd XFX blew in these like 8 months. (ram corrupted, then stopped sending signal to monitor).
So currently directly beneath my GF8800 is my LAN card (like 0,5cm) and it's really hot. So I wonder, if I get ASUS P5Q SE PLUS, I'll have 1 more slot, which will increase the distance between my GF and my LAN card by around 2-4cm, and somewhat help with cooling of the GF. (the bottom 3-rd slot is taken by my SB)
And I'm warndering can I put a video card heatsink addon ontop of the GF, cause there is almost no distance between the GF and the RAM.

I find it really intersting, that nobody knows that INTEGRATED cards are SHIT.
Like when I use my integrated gigabit lan card, I can't get over 6MB/s, but when I use my Intel gigabit lan card, I go over 12MB/s..
Or when your CPU is 100% your sound starts breaking up, but when you use outboard SoundBlaster, even if your PC hangs, sound continues..

That's a fucking crock of shit. There's nothing wrong with integrated LAN adaptors and you're just falling into the propaganda spread by that hack Jonathan fucking Wendel.
"Hi, my name is FATA1DLTIDG and I know every frame per second counts (not to mention every cent I get paid for sticking my name to whatever trash comes along) which is why I'm putting my name on a NEW piece of trash! The Fatal1ty Super Awesome Gigabit Network Accelerator Pro!"
Pffffft.
If you're getting issues using the network adaptor, it's your PC or your ISP. I've been using onboard NICs for YEARS and guess what? I ain't NEVER had a single issue with them. If my network supports 100/1000 base, I GET the maximum speed. If my ISP is having a good day, I GET the maximum speed.
If you're getting issues with sound, it's your PC. I've been using an onboard sound card for YEARS and guess what? I ain't NEVER had a single issue with them, not at 0% CPU and not at 100% CPU when running torture tests. Now I'm running a USB-powered Creative HS-1100 and it's exactly the same; no friggin' issues.

What's funny is that I had SERIOUS sound issues with my Audigy4 with crackling sound. I refused to believe it was the card so I even switched around and changed cables. Then I took out my old asus soundcard that came with the MB which had dust on it cause I've almost never used it, switched it out for the Audigy4 and voila, the crackling sound went bye-bye and I haven't had an issue since (1 year ago).
However, my NIC is poopoo since it's an nvidia model so I've had some issues with both ports but after some fiddling around and googling they now work super ace. ^_^ |

Speaking of onboard audio, I miss my DFI LanParty Ultra-D with it's Karajan Audio Module. That thing was THE SHIT!

I don't like integrated cards, based on my expirience with them.
Speaking of the matter at hand, any suggestions on topic?

Generally after-market coolers come with RAM heatsinks too.

The Musashi does I think.
About the onboard vs standalone NIC btw: if you're getting twice the speed on the standalone, you most likely have fucked up one of the settings for the onboard one; you sure it's on full duplex and running at full speed? Onboard NICs these days are plenty fine, a really good standalone might get you a couple megabits extra, but that's about it. Same bullshit as Bigfoot's KILLER NIC, which promises to lower your ping - I lol'd.

You mean back when having a full-duplex card was still something of the "better" NICs, and COAX was still used for networks?

Asus then. I'll always rate Asus boards over Palit.

A friend of mine is trying to get me to buy the Palit one, cause Asus had problems with their coolers, but from what I can see of pictures of both cards, they're the same, with just different logos.

) then you won't have any issues fitting an aftermarket cooler. They are, nine times out of ten, thicker. Not longer. You should be fine.
As for it not getting better, trust me; stock coolers are 90% of the time cheap tin shit and would never stand up to a decent after-market one ... even if the after-market one looks "smaller"
