The ds computer i want only comes with a 750 watt power supply.Do i need a special wall socket to plug in my computer or would any wall socket do?Also the ds computer i want comes with a i7 920 oc to 3.2 ghz.It comes standard with factory fans and heatsink but no liqued cooling.Unfortunately i wont be able to buy liqued cooling in the future.Im going to use the computer for intense gamimg.Do you think it would be safe for me to buy this computer even though it doesnt have liqued cooling?Also i would like to add that my home is always air conditioned.

your temps will depend on the chip itself and your room temp, if you get lucky and its a good chip then its temp will be fine, if not your temp might be a bit high, but as long as load temps are under 80c you are good.

there is no way to tell your temps right now really cause it would be all speculations, till there is an actual chip OCed you won't know, also the heat from your GPU will make a difference also, all and all I think you should be OK.

IMO it would be nice if you atleast got it air cooled with a Noctua NH-U12P, but its up to you.

I believe he/she is referring to a special deal system. They actually run very cool. They aren't overclocked that high so you have nothing to worry about.

Actually, I spoke with our tech's; and with the concerns some customers may have, we have updated the "Power and Value" special deal to reflect a liquid cooling solution.
 
Also, we added some details of the features of the motherboard we are using, and also the integrated audio. (We do not have a exact model of the motherboard because it may/will change; but the features will remain).

All I know is I have a 1000 watt power supply and under load my UPS passes out. A Smart-Ups 1500. Only the Computer is plugged into that UPS.Monitors and extras are on a seperate one.
