Down to about 7V they keep a good cfm/dba/pressure ratio, but don't expect to go much lower than that without the fan just stopping. These fans are to be kept close to their normal voltage and have a great ratio, not be completely silent. And yeah the pressure is niiiice.

Preferably a fullcover block, but I may entertain an MCW60 with the heatsink if the price is right. I've got an HR-03 on it right now, but I want that heat to go into a loop and not warm up the other parts. I hope an MCR320 is enough for a Q9550, NB, Mosfets and video card.... :ohwell...

Found the list http://www.nvidia.com/object/cuda_learn_products.html The 200 series will still be much more efficient with CUDA, double the SPs.

I don't think you can be that precise based on the OC. I have a later batch (Q823) that took 1.17V for 4.0ghz, and 1.208V for 4.2ghz. Has a lot to do with the VID. I'm guessing this one has a 1.25V VID. edit: aw, off by 0.01V :)

Just posted mine, I hope I did everything right :0 http://forums.techpowerup.com/showthread.php?t=94773 I don't like the heatware being obligatory though, since I don't use it either. Maybe make a rule where you post your HEAT, or in the absence of such, ebay feedback and other forum's...

Yeah haha, blew my mind when I found out as well. When something is hot, more of the electricity is converted to heat, so the colder something is, the less electricity you need to use, thus the lower power usage. This is why a stock 55nm uses a tad more power than a stock 65nm GTX260...

Definitely update to the latest. It's not like they'd drop Win 7 support, it could only have improved. Make sure to uninstall your drivers the real way with Driver Cleaner after the normal uninstall.

+50V I hope not!!!!!!!!!! heh. You've got a Phenom II, you have to fiddle with a LOT more settings than the CPU voltage to OC it. I'm not familiar with AMD boards, but look into optimixing the other settings and you should get an easier time OCing. but 4.0ghz is great. All that marketing...

When I think granite I think roads lol. You sure that's really flat, not a bit rough like the lapping paper? Is has to be flat and smooth. But from the pics it looks smooth.

Does the fan have 3 cables or 2? Make sure you uninstall the drivers carefully and use Driver Cleaner to wipe it, then do a clean install. Check if it'sidentified in HWMonitor. If it isn't its a driver problem.

This is a common problem for Vista as well. Is it as soon as you turn the PC on, or only after you do a 3D thing, then close it? For me it was the latter and was fixed with the latest drivers at that time (182.5)

I'm pretty sure CUDA is only for the 200 GPU's not the G92's. One thing to keep in mind is that with better heatsinks the power usage goes down. So for sure you want a 55nm GT200 and not a 65nm, but the 55nms have worse heatsinks, and actually consume a tiny bit more power because of this...

Just so people know, lapping is more about making it flat than shiny. You can use up to just 600 grit and it will perform as well as 3500 grit. You can have a mirror surface, but it doesn't mean its flat. Make sure to lap on glass or a really flat surface. Not sure if its been said already, just...
