getting a 2nd card for SLI would help and would likely be the cheapest. If you don't have the money for a new PSU and new Gpu then pick up a cheap used gts250 and be happy with it till you get the $$$ to upgrade.

Well, I already have a 250 installed. If I'm going to SLI, I'll need to get a new PSU and mobo, so I may just wait until next year when Bulldozer comes out and completely overhaul the system. Seeing as my RAM is still brand new effectively, and a new mobo would kinda neccessitate getting new DDR3, it would sorta feel like a waste.

@mlee49

I agree, I also like how you mounted that second rad on the bottom. Was the lower hdd cage easy to remove?

mlee49 · Oct 13, 2010

Yup, a couple rivits drilled out and then a dremel with a grinding tip took out the other two rivits holding the bay in.

I did cut a portion of the top 5.25" bay where the front audio/switches mount. There was a super small lip(maybe 1/8") that was rolled inwards on two sides. By removing those 'lips' I was able to fit the PA 120.4 all the way across the top, with no other cuts to the top.

I've got the MCP35x res coming later this week and it should help clean things up a touch. A few more compression fittings and some MX4 as well.

Thanks for all the comments guys, I'll just leave you with this... Mine's better than Cold Storms... :roll:

Idle - 35C

Kombustor for ~7 mins - 42C Max

Those results were obtained at stock speeds on this card. I pick my OC profile when playing more demanding titles. I don't like it when my card ramps up to 3D OC speeds when flash video, .mpeg, .avi, etc. is rendered.

Does anyone know of a way to get Afterburner to keep your GPU at 2D clock speeds when you render flash/video files? If the GPU is going to render the video, can you specify what clock speeds at which it will ?

mlee49 · Oct 14, 2010

yeah buddy! Look at that MCW80 workin!! Nice temps there Ross! :toast:

t77snapshot · Oct 14, 2010

New hardware yaa!

No big deal but just installed my new Corsair ram cooler (that I bought from ebolamonkey3

).Ever since I install the second set of 4 gigs and I feel like my ram is really cramped and toasty, plus it's nice to feel like I actually made a recent upgrade, but at very low costs. It's also a nive way to hide those ugly gold OCZ's :toast:

[Ion] · Oct 14, 2010

That looks really nice..I mean to get a RAM cooler at some point :toast:

OK i built this PC for a friend of mine about less that 2 years ago for like 1300$!!! and now he wants to just use his laptop so he sold me back the pc at a HELL of a deal! well it came in today and i unpacked it and opened it up, first off, he NEVER cleaned it

and the top PCIex slot is bent a little but doesn't hinder performance but it puzzles me how it could have gotten bent (will post pictures later of the bend). Well i cleaned it up and took some junk he had randomly installed in it out (lights multiple DVD drives) and then booted it up. well it booted into windows and seemed very function able, I installed cpuz and real temp to check its health and at and idle it was idling at 65deg cel which is a red flag right there. so i downloaded prime95 and started a max run and withing 15 sec it was past TJmax and immediately shut down

. I blame its crappy Arctic Freezer Pro Ver 1 for that im afraid. Im gonna order some MX2 for my I7 and this PC and install my trusty Evercooler transformer 4 mega heatsink on it to see if that drops temps with a 120 push/pull. Other than the overheating, the 8800Ultra works great and runs pretty cool with 100% fan (which you barely can hear).

The specs are as follows

Intel Q6600 G0 stepping
8GB (4x2gb) OCZ Gold Series DDR2-800
Asus P5N-D 750I SLI board
XFX 8800 Ultra
PC Power and Cooling Silencer 750 Quad PSU (60A single rail)
WD 160GB 7,200RPM sata drive
two random DVD burners sata
Centurion 590 Case

I may part it out later on for some more parts for my HTPC or i may rebuild it back to working order and sell it as a whole but only time will tell, stay tuned

brandonwh64 · Oct 14, 2010

Sorry to double post but here is more pictures of it

This picture is of the PCIex slot bent at the back, The only thing i can think of is heat that would make the plastic warp like that but hey it still works good.
