They are very very similar in apperance, although I can not vouch for the MOBO mounting points etc in the XW8200 case having never carried out the operation you describe.<br /><br />I own both an XW8200 and a XW8400 and having has a quick look inside both I can see no conflicts.<br /><br />How much are you paing for you XW8400 MOBO, as you can buy a whole XW8400 on ebay for £120??Kermit Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04017975084516716465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4675009870306534763.post-53422608323414526382012-05-06T04:50:56.390-07:002012-05-06T04:50:56.390-07:00do you know if a xw8400 motherboard can be used wi...do you know if a xw8400 motherboard can be used within a xw8200 case?

I have looked in BIOS but can see no option for hard disk boot sequence. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, thanks.<br />Pinkipinkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08547167211177773296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4675009870306534763.post-89643944157350493472012-01-19T01:23:24.905-08:002012-01-19T01:23:24.905-08:00Dear Robby

I did toy with the idea of shortening the legs by grinding them down, but then we are trying to build a PC not a tractor, so I forked out £50 for a proper heat sink. It is a shame they cost so much.<br /><br />If you are running a dual core processor in your XW8400, the smaller heat sink from theh XW8200 would certainly keep the CPU cool enough, they run at around 27 degress C, so plenty of head room. Its just making the damn thing fit.<br /><br />The cooler from an XW8400 will there fore fit a XW8200 but not the other way round.Kermit Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04017975084516716465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4675009870306534763.post-43152408733565289432012-01-15T16:58:27.422-08:002012-01-15T16:58:27.422-08:00Hello there - You mention the CPU cooler is interc...Hello there - You mention the CPU cooler is interchangeable with the xw8400 but then go on to say they are different widths - I am currently in the market for a new 2nd heatsink for my xw8400 and noticed that the heatsink for the xw8200 is around half the price. Can you confirm they are interchangable. Thanks, RobbyRobby Edgarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03230286751679670039noreply@blogger.com
