    Graphic Card Air Cooling Solution?

    He has an EVGA card. EVGA allows aftermarket coolers to be installed as long as you put back the stock one if there is an rma required. No voiding of the warranty:cool:

    Graphic Card Air Cooling Solution?

    Dis-approve. As I suggested on another forum you posted this question on, have you considered a Thermalright HR-03GT? I am happy to give my opinion, now let's hear yours:cool:

    Nvidia 9800 gx2 or 2x9800gtx??

    I tend to avoid Nvidia-based motherboards, as I have had issues with them as compared to no problems with Intel chipsets. If you do fancy the new X48 chipset, several brands are available that offer DDR2 versions as opposed to the expensive DDR3. That would allow you to use the OCZ DDR2 kit you...

    Nvidia 9800 gx2 or 2x9800gtx??

    The EVGA Step-Up Program also includes Europe, which means the U.K. is included.

    Nvidia 9800 gx2 or 2x9800gtx??

    I have a 9800GX2 and am lovin' it. Since I run an Intel P35 board sli is not an option for me but this dual-gpu card takes care of that. However, based on what your new system plans are, and I think that will be a great system you are building, you have the option of going to two 9800GTX cards...

    8800 GTS 512.. HR-03 GT will improve it, or not so much?

    You are right that a 120mm fan really helps the temps on the HR-03gt. But there's actually a lot more to it than that. I wouldn't recommend running it fanless, very few enthusiasts do, except those who frequent the Silent PC Forums:D The temp reduction is far greater with a fan, and even though...

    Need 19" monitor suggestions

    When I lengthen my desk by a few feet and reinforce it I may consider a 24" monitor. Maybe:) Off-topic, but do you like the Technet subscription? I am planning on purchasing one from MS as I can get 20% off until the end of June. Just debating whether to go for the dvd's or the less expensive...

    8800 GTS 512.. HR-03 GT will improve it, or not so much?

    You would see a lot more than 5% temp drop with a Thermalright HR-03GT and a good 120mm fan fitted to it. Try 15C plus. My previous card was an XFX 8800GTS 512 and the HR-03GT, fitted with a Noctua NF-P12 fan gave me a load temp reduction of 20C on average. Having said that, if you run the fan...

    What video card runs smooth at 2560x1600

    If you can add a few more bucks, the GX2 is the best card available right now. Prices have dropped a bit on them, and as was suggested, an EVGA or BFG card has the step-up option if Nvidia releases the 9900 within 90 days.

    Need 19" monitor suggestions

    Viewsonic VX922. Good to see another 19" regular-screen user. I don't care for wide-screen monitors either and I'm sick of people posting that a 9800GX2 is wasted on a 1280x1024 monitor. Bung. I've used this monitor for over a year and it's been trouble-free. 2ms response time, terrific for...

    Thermalright IFX-14 with E8500 at 4GHz

    Wanted to add my experiences to your consideration. The TRUE is a good cooler, no doubt about it, BUT it has a few flaws which you may wish to avoid. The base is convex (it actually will rock on a glass plate) so combined with the shoddy mounting bracket which swivels like a cheap pair of...

    CPU recommendation please

    I think the Q6600 would be best for Vlip. This is based on what he wants to use the system for, as well as motherboard compatibility. They are good overclockers as well. The E6850 and the new Wolfdales are more suited to guys like me:D

    E8400 motherboard: non SLI/CF, 6SATA. what to choose?

    Glad to hear you ordered the Gigabyte mobo. I had a Gigabyte P965-DS3 and it ran my E6400@3600 daily. I sold it to a friend and it's still going strong. I follow your post with interest as I have now upgraded to a Gigabyte P35-DS3R. That EP version is news to me, but strangely enough, my board...

    New ABIT IP35 pro not booting up

    Well, isn't that a coincidence! I laugh because I just had the exact same problem with a new IP35 Pro board last weekend. Bought the board at Fry's about 5 months ago to use for a planned system upgrade. Same issues, no display, keyboard lights don't come on, C1 post code. As suggested, I...

    Which is the Best 92mm Fan?

    Just wanted to mention that you don't have to use a 92mm fan on the HR-03 Plus, you can mount a 120mm fan on it. I have a 120mm Silverstone FM121 (110 cfm) attached to my HR-03 Plus, with the stock heatsink clips. It does overhang the fins a bit but that helps to cool the 8800 GTS ram chips. At...

    My CPU just bit the dust :(

    It's not your hardware, it's that POS Bioshock game. The demo crashed like that on me repeatedly. Read somewhere that it happened to another gamer in Arkansas, after it took out his Q6800, it killed his dog and boiled his goldfish:evil:

    E6850 and 965DS3 Rev.1 Will it work?

    Thanks for the advise. I was hoping that setting the fsb to 333 manually will work. The E6850 has been shipped, should have it Monday. I will post my results as soon as I find out:cool:

    E6850 and 965DS3 Rev.1 Will it work?

    Anyone running an E6850 with a Gigabyte 965DS3 Rev.1? Ihave an E6850 on order from NCIX which I was looking forward to testing this weekend but NCIX hasn't shipped it yet:| There is no official support for the Rev.1 with the 1333 cpu's, but I thought I would try it for fun:roll: I will post...

    need help picking a cool, quite pc

    With the fans all set on low speed, it is very quiet. I was surprised that it could be as quiet with all the fans it has. Even on medium, it is still reasonable, high speed is where it can be heard, but the fans are pushing some pretty good cfm numbers then:D

    need help picking a cool, quite pc

    Excellent parts selection! I wouldn't mind trying out the new E6750 since I don't need a quad-core, but if the price drop is as much as they say, the quad would also be a good deal. I would really recommend getting the 8800GTS 320 over the 1950, it's a much better card. Asus and Gigabyte both...

    is it worth spending twice the money

    Regarding the OCZ rebates, that has absolutely nothing to do with NCIX. The rebate is from OCZ. You could try contacting one of the OCZ reps. on the various forums they frequent and they may be able to "make it right". As for the Centurion with the window, it usually has to be purchased with...

    is it worth spending twice the money

    Just checked NCIX (Canadian site) latest sale, the Antec 900 is on sale for $89.99 CDN. with a mir. As I mentioned, I have both cases. Is the 900 worth 50 more? I think it is, just the extra included speed-adjustable fans alone are worth more than that. Aside from the superior airflow, it has...

    is it worth spending twice the money

    I just bought an Antec 900 to replace my Coolermaster Centurion case. It was a good case but no comparison in cooling with the 900. I don't mind cleaning out the case every once in a while, the Centurion got dusty after a while as well. www.ncixus.com has the 900 on sale for $100 which is not a...

    Buying a new case

    The Antec 900 is selling for $76.73 at NCIX (US Site) right now. That's with a $20 mir, offer good till the Fourth of July. That's a great price, I just bought one there a couple weeks ago but it cost me about $110. If you are looking for great airflow and a good, versatile layout this case...

    Overclocking a Geforce 8800 GTS

    You can use either to overclock, I prefer Rivatuner. It also has a temp monitor. Run the 3DMark benchmarks, do some gaming, for stability testing.

    Whats your take single 8800 GTX or 2 8800 GTS running SLI?

    What Extelleron said:D Have to agree, late last year I had my finger on the button to buy a GTX but decided to save $250 and got a GTS. I haven't regretted that decision since, and the 8800 GTS cards are an even better deal now. Since this is an upgrade from a 6800 Ultra, the performance...

    Overclocking a Geforce 8800 GTS

    However;) I use Rivatuner to overclock my 8800GTS and there is a large gain in 3DMark scores, as well as some very good fps gains in games such as FEAR when I do the built-in benchmark test. I noticed an improvement in smoothness of some games with lots of AA enabled and an elimination of any...

    E6420 overclock

    I see what you mean:) It is wise to go easy with the stock cooling. I spent some money on heatsinks for my CPU and DS3 shortly after I put the system together, mainly for overclocking gains. I think it is worth it, the performance gains are significant when you go over 3000 Mhz with these...

    E6420 overclock

    Uh, I think you guys scared him away:D I have to agree with the voltage issue, but some cpu need a lot of juice for a relatively high, stable oc. I am running mine at 3600 but I find that it runs best for me with 1.525 vcore. Yes, that is rather high on air but I've got a good air cooling setup...

    Motherboard Vote

    Haven't used either board but I think that MSI P6N SLI Platinum would be a good mobo. The reviews do seem positive. I set up an Asus P5NE-SLI (650i) board recently for a friend and the 8x8 lane graphics in sli provide plenty of bandwidth, you still have 16 lanes when using only one card. The...

    Recommendation for MOBO to replace Gigabyte 965P-DS3

    I have had good luck with my trusty old DS3 Rev.1 with my E6400@3600 running stable for months. However, the rev. 3.3 boards do seem to be having some issues. That battery-draining problem doesn't sound too good! Maybe it doesn't like the Geil ram, I have only been using Mushkin with mine which...

    Looking to upgrade to C2D setup.

    Check my sig if you want some good, proven highly-overclockable components. I too tend to go for bang for the buck, and the best part is that with all the recent price drops the pricing on most of this is much lower now. An E6400 @3600 provides great performance and the DS3 has been very...

    C2D: E6600 vs. E6700?

    You may even want to consider an E6400, depending on your budget. I run mine @3600 24/7 and the performance is fantastic.
