That thing is huge! thats what she said LOL

How much was that thing ? can you put a stronger fan on it?

 

[JATownes]

$39.99 @ the egg. Its the best cooler I have ever owned. 5 heatpipes, each with its own array of fins. Yes a stronger fan is next on the agenda, just haven't decided which one. Noise isn't an issue, but I want HIGH airflow. Suggestions??

 

[DV8tion]

Gi-freaking-normous is what that thing is. put push pull fans on it

He should put those cheap $10 Ultraz Kazi fans from the egg on a push-pull i bet those temps would deffinantly go down

[JATownes]

The thing I like most about it, (and the reason I bought it over the TRUE, or 1284) is because it can be orientated in any direction. (and can hold fans on all four sides)

I loved my 4850 so much I bought another one.

Why are you adding a 4850 to your 4870?? Why not another 4870?? Just curious.

 

[ShadowFold]

Too much money. And my PSU only have 3 PCIE connectors. I'm gonna have them in CrossfireX!

Whats the most V's you've pumped into the 940?

 

[SparkyJJO]

Well I poked around, there is an open box Asus M4A79 Deluxe for $133 and the 940 is $215. If I went with that and used my current G.Skill PI black DDR2-800, I could save about $150 over going AM3.

So the question is I suppose, is AM3 worth the extra $150? Of course the savings is from that board being open box - if it was new I'd be saving a little over $80 if I was to go with that board. To be honest most of the AM2+ boards don't appeal much to me much for some reason. Too many with SB600, or hideous colors (yeah yeah I know), just seems there is more "stuff" available on the AM3 boards for the same or lesser price, like the M4A79 Deluxe is $200 new but the MSI 790FX-GD70 gives more for $20 less.

Decisions, decisions....

 

[ShadowFold]

There really is no performance gain from DDR3 in gaming, just synthetics and maybe f@h. If you're low on cash just go with a 720BE and a decent 790GX board.

1.55v Been nervous to take it over that. I can boot at 4, but loading windows kisses it goodbye

Excellent chip though, just haven't had time to play. AMD/ATI FTW. (fanboy)

I'm going full quad here

I guess I tend to shy away from boards with onboard video as in the past it had sometimes been cause of issues when running another card. I guess that isn't so anymore, but I can't seem to get around seeing that VGA port sticking out of the IO panel

I suppose the thing I wonder about is all the new cool stuff will be on AM3. Suppose I don't feel like getting left behind. That's one reason I hadn't gone back to AM2+. But.... I dunno. Might be smarter to go with it to save the money since I'm really without a good job right now - or maybe the smartest thing would be to not get anything until I get a job (since my q6600 works fine) but I have the upgrade itch

Yeah just dont push it over 1.65V is my theory and I havent fried any CPUS, but I think between 1.55 and 1.6V is where you'll be able to hit the magic "4GHZ".

The only way I crossed 3.95GHZ was with 1.6V.

Get your name on the Top5

I am working on it. Gonna take down CdaWall. Yea right, no balls for DICE and not near enough knowledge.

This DFI 790FX bios is REALLY complicated. But I am studying
