That's why I had to replace my old CPU. I got it OEM without a cooler, and the cheap one I bought was awful. Idling at around 63 degrees. :\ The stock one that came with my Athlon X2 250 is much better. Idles at around 26-33 degrees.

Next time don't skimp out.

The ones Sneekypeet has for sale are coolers that normally cost double what he has them listed at.

[Ion] · Oct 11, 2010

Yep, his definitely are a very good deal

If you have the money for a new cooler ATM, it would be quite a nice upgrade

what reflects on them is how they handle this - remember that THEY dont make the screws, they're sent them sealed in a bag they likely never looked at either.

Got an email from Performance-PCs this morning which included communication with EK (Eddy) and they are going to send me new stand-off screws. So I would say that they both get an A+ for customer service :toast:

Love your rig MoonPig

Yes, I know. It was cheap, and I was ignorant. I just saw 600W and went "Oooh! Must have that!" I think it cost me less than £20, actually...

For an extra £10 you could of grab yourself the corsair 400w and i am running much power hungry parts than yours and i am running a 400w,its a plucky little thing which i am hoping to upgrade soon but for now its doing great job on powering my rig.

As you can see, i just have to stain the wood-filler i used

Wow, 1% away from perfection...

Just got back from my week long honey moon trip and the weather here has cooled down a bit so I decided to throw my second 285 back in and get rid of that Fatal1ty card. I also through in a Corsair ram cooler that I got from ebolamonkey3, (not in pics). It's great to be back guys! :cool:

[Ion] · Oct 11, 2010

It's great to have you!

And that's a very orange computer! I like

Reventon · Oct 11, 2010

That is quite a sexy setup.

Radical_Edward · Oct 11, 2010

Welcome back T77, your rig is looking good as always.

Red_Machine · Oct 11, 2010

So do you guys think that SLI'ing a pair of GTS 250s would be a good idea for me?

Radical_Edward · Oct 11, 2010

Not until you get a better CPU and PSU. That dual core is a huge bottleneck.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ what he said

Your CPU is fine for SLI'd G92, but you'd need a new PSU for sure. A TruePower New 550w or 650w would do admirably

Red_Machine · Oct 11, 2010

Well, by good idea, I more meant would there be any point to it? Would I get any appreciable increase in performance?

[Ion] · Oct 11, 2010

I think so. A GTS250 is really ideal for 1440x900, I'm guessing your LCD is at least 1680x1050, which is territory where a GTS250 really starts to struggle.

Red_Machine · Oct 11, 2010

Yeah, it's 1680x1050. It's been coping well so far.

[Ion] · Oct 11, 2010

I found that a GTX260 was a noticeable improvement over a GTS250 for the 20" 1680x1050 I had, so GTS250 SLI would likely be a noticeable improvement for you

kurosagi01 · Oct 11, 2010

Don't bother with SLI a GTS250 and just buy a single GTX460 along with new psu and you will see better gain in my opinion.

Radical_Edward · Oct 11, 2010

Or you could get a AMD/ATi card.

Velvet Wafer · Oct 11, 2010

buy anything that fits your purse and is better! there are some pretty sweet deals in the FS section, and nearly each day there are new ones

Yeah, very true. I stopped buying everything new. In the F/S section you get sweet deals with products that are in great condition often still with warranty. Most people on TPU rock so you can go to them in case you need to RMA ever or something. I would look there and see what you can find. :toast:

p_o_s_pc · Oct 12, 2010

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.

Here's mine finally:

Got a few more goodies coming!
