Thanks!
aww congratulations. really think you should go for the GTX 285 and 850TX Power Supply. Full Coverage Waterblocks have more surface to cover which makes them restrictive, expensive and inefficient. and it doesn't matter how low the restriction on a 90' fitting is they will still be restrictive it's physics.
Part of the problem with asking for help on the internet is that everyone has a different opinion.
I was thinking a GTX285, then people say the 275 a tad overclocked is just as good and saves $100, and then people saying wait for the 4890 Atomic edition, which outperforms the 285. (The Atomic does look pretty kickass to me!)
And honestly, I cannot stand non-modular power supplies. I only use two or three of the cables total, and even with the HAF it's hard to hide all that extra cabling. Also, there's no need to replace the power supply if removing the drive cage gives me enough room to route the tubing. If I could come out maybe $100 on top after everything I would consider it, since I'm trying to save up for a 24" monitor as well. So if I could sell the Toughpower for like $300, spend $200 on a new psu and be $100 in the green, I would probably still do it. No full coverage blocks, I agree.
oh wow congrats !!!
u gonna overclock your daughter too? i know she comes watercooled.
Hehe thanks. Thankfully she's dry now. We just have to see how our 2.5 year old is going to handle this.
