The B in P180 refers to the black color, not a B revision or anything like that. All of the modifications to the P182 have made their way into the current P180 rev 1.1 (makes sense, since Antec only then needs to produce one chassis design). The only difference between the P182 and the current...
The door does go 270 degrees. It requires a little bit of force, but the grill on the left side of the case is double hinged, so it will fold in when you rotate the door far enough, letting you swing the door an additional 90 degrees.
What? The last time I checked, the X1900XT has a core clocked at 1.4V and the X1900XTX is 1.425V. All of the other voltages are identical though.
Edit - These are for 3D mode, obviously. At 2D they are both 1.175V.
Those numbers sound about right. Typically the Accelero X2 at 100% is equal or slightly better than the stock fan at 100% (and of course dramatically quieter).
Oh yeah, using AS5 instead of the default goop on the Accelero might help a little bit, but at this point if you've already got the...
Nonsense. Most of those reviews you have seen aren't even conducted properly, which is why you see the Accelero performing so poorly. Many reviewers have completely neglected the fan speed setting on the Accelero when performing their temperature measurements, which causes a huge difference in...
This is what's wrong with the VF900:
This list isn't nearly exhaustive either. If you look around the internet you will find tons of people having trouble with the VF900 on their cards. Granted, you will also find a couple people with great results, and you won't really know until you strap...
I have compiled a list of X1900 aftermarket cooler user reports over at Rage3D:
http://www.rage3d.com/board/showthread.php?t=33854396
My conclusion is if you want something that is known to work well and has been validated by many user experiences, go with the Accelero X2. The Accelero is...
I agree. I think with the VF900 you need to be prepared to return it if you end up being one of the unlucky one's with horrible results. If it ends up working well, then great. But just be aware that it might not do so.
By the way, I have posted an updated compilation of Accelero/VF900...
There are simply way too many reports of users experiencing poor results on the VF900 for this to be the problem.
From the reports I have seen of the VF900, it either performs really well or really poorly. Unfortunately it is difficult to isolate why some users are experiencing great results...
The min. fps numbers here seem a bit inconsistent to me. On the X1900XT you see a significantly lower min. fps on the higher clocked part, and on the 7900GT you see a lower min. fps on the performance setting. This is probably due to inconsistent runs for each benchmark (especially if you are...

There is a FatWallet thread on the subject here:

It requires a little effort if you don't have the 25% coupon (you'll have to find one or get one off eBay) but it is definitely worth the effort to pick up...
Hah, wow. Yeah, I actually picked up an X1900XT when these deals came the first time around and thankfully it shipped after 2 days. I am surprised to see that they are backordered that far though, that is pretty ridiculous.
I take it the following deals would also work?
XFX 7900GT
$352.95
- $88.24 (25% off coupon)
- $35 ($35 off $300)
= $229.71
X1900XT
$549.00
- $137.25 (25% off coupon)
- $60 ($60 off $500)
= $351.75
Both of these are super hot as well! Finally, in addition to the BFG 7900GTX OC...
The case graph is referring to the case temps with each of the coolers installed, and the CPU graph refers to the CPU temps. The video card temps at the top are already in a closed case. Obviously the case/CPU temps are going to be a bit higher with the Accelero and V-1 Ultra due to their design.
There is at least one review suggesting that the Accelero with AS5 performs slightly better than the Accelero with stock paste.

ATITool is kind of tricky to set up initially because by default it doesn't have a 3D profile and doesn't automatically change the voltages for you. So when you try to overclock at only 1.175V, it is going to error out very quickly. Here's what you need to do to get it working properly:
This...
There have been a lot of complaints about Sudhian's review on various forums because they didn't specify the fan speeds of the Accelero and stock cooler. Presumably since they are plugged into the video card by default, they are on auto fan control, which would explain why they are performing so...
It seems like many people (including myself) are currently wondering which cooler they should purchase for their X1900XTX. Most of the video cooler reviews published have used older generation video cards with lower heat levels, and it is unclear whether their results would actually apply to the...
It is somewhat unclear at this point. There are several reports of the VF900 not being a very sufficient cooler for the X1900XTX on various forums, yet at the same times others have reported good results.

Their Oblivion GTX vs XTX results are much closer, although the min fps numbers are a bit better on the XTX. Are we seeing the results of CPU limitation here? This has been widely speculated since the release of the game, but noone has really done the testing to confirm it. The CF results and...
I think with ATI Tray Tools you can preserve the driver functionality without having to install the bloated Catalyst Control Center, so the memory consumption isn't too big of an issue.
I think the visual quality comparison is useless without the LOD terrain/shadow mods, since basically every person playing on the PC will want to be using them.
No surprises here, the X1900XTX is the best single card solution for this game. I think the 7900GTX performed a bit better than expected though, with the exception of the foliage scene. In the others it is keeping up reasonably well with the X1900XT, when I thought the gap would have been...
Yeah, it seems pretty obvious at this point that the visual quality on the PC version was nerfed to keep it in line with the 360 version as much as possible. Judging from how easily modders increased the visual quality on the PC, consistency with the 360 version seems like the only plausible...
ATI users have an equivalent tweak with the flip queue size option. I haven't heard about this 1fps drop that you are talking about. There is a framerate drop issue with ATI cards and particle effects when AA is enabled, but in this game most people with a high end card would be using HDR anyway...
Yeah I think this is the real question with the benchmarks. What driver revisions they were using might make a big difference (both the Omega 6.3's and the NGO optimized 81.25's have reportedly produced performance increases), as well as the Direct3D render ahead/flip queue size settings in the...
I agree that it is speculation so we don't really know for sure, but it does seem highly plausible given the reports we have seen from others. I am curious what the difference between the shader paths are, but even with those differences it would still be a good idea to attempt to get as close...
In this case I don't see how this is reaching for technicalities or fanboyism. In the benchmarks, the X1900XTX shows a marginal (5 fps) lead over the 7900GTX. His point was that the lead would be much more significant if the two cards were run at the same settings (with the same detail level...
Yeah, the slider applies to both cards when you overclock in SLI mode. You can't adjust the speeds independently because they need to be in sync for SLI to work properly.
