DFI NF4 SLI Expert reporting temp incorrectly?

I've got an Opteron 170 @ 2.7ghz / 1.55v and MBM5 is reporting 28C idle, I'm using a scythe ninja while piecing together a WC system, but I think these temps have to be wrong. Does anyone have any info about these boards and improper temp. reporting?

opteron 144,x1900xt or op165, 7900GT

I think you'd be fine with either processor, but I think that you'd regret picking a 7900GT over a x1900xt. Honestly, if your already going that far, go for 165 and x1900xt and start warming up the ramen! :)

Best Watercooling Kit Available?

This is all excellent information so far, I'm gonna be overclocking an Opteron 165 and *might* think about putting my X1900XTX in the loop since its insanely loud @ 100% fanspeed. The case I have is an Antec P180, am I going to be limited with options by using this case? So far I'm...

Best Watercooling Kit Available?

I'm debating switching to water cooling with the arrival of my Opteron 165, I'd rather do a kit just because I don't have a ton of time to fiddle with DIY but I'd still consider it. Thermaltake 745 looked like a viable option, price isn't a huge issue but I like to keep things within reason...

Opteron 165 or faster Single Core?

I'm rounding off my gaming rig and I'm looking to get a new processor. I'm fairly adept at overclocking so the idea of an Opteron 165/170 sounds pretty tempting. Currently I'm using a 3200+ @ 2.7ghz Would it be worth it to go with the dual core, I've read it doesn't improve gaming that...

which x1900xtx?

I had the same decision to make a few days ago, I just went with whatever deal there was to be had and chose the HIS for 450 AR. Just arrived today, hopefully it'll get a decent overclock :)

X1800XT to X1900XTX on 2405FPW, worth it?

Yeah, its really a matter of performance at high resolutions. I play everything too. From MMO's to FPS. Good info about the 1900XT, I only even looked at the XTX because of the 50 MIR on the XTX from HIS @ Newegg. Also, I hear that nothing is coming out til fall from any video makers to...

X1800XT to X1900XTX on 2405FPW, worth it?

I just got my 2405 FPW this last week and picked up Oblivion this weekend. I was wondering if the extra shaders on the 1900 series is worth it so I can squeeze a bit more performance out of this game. the HDR +AA patch has me hooked on ATI atm :)

I just picked up a 2405FPW, and I plan on upgrading my video cards soon to compensate for the 1920 x 1200 resolution. I have a DFI SLI-DR Board with an X1800XT / A64 3800+ @ 2.8 Ghz / 2GB PC 4000 RAM / Seasonic S600 power supply... So going SLI won't be an issue Would it make more sense to...

X1800 Crossfire performance bump on RD580?

I'm having a few issues with my A8R-MVP motherboard and Asus Tech Support has been a nightmare. I'm planning on ditching this board for another. I still have my X1800XT and wonder if perhaps the newer boards that support 32 lanes will give the X1800 crossfire a boost or if its not even worth it...

7800GTX @ $450 or wait for X1800XT @ 550++ ?

Here is my thought process.. If I go with the X1800XT I will *NOT* be doing 'crossfire' because I think that lack of refinement and the 'master card' thing just makes it not worthwhile. Where as I can pick up a 7800GTX for 400-500 right now w/ an SLI board and get another one down the road...
