Isn't that core 2 duo a little to weak for the 680's.

DarkOCean, you have misunderstood a little bit, the 680sli is a motherboard's chipset

Looks very nice! Did you sleeve those cables yourself, or buy them pre-sleeved (the white ones)? Those are exactly what I need, and yours look amazing, so I would love to hear what brand they are or what you used to sleeve them!

Thread header, just sounds wrong
![]() ![]() sorry forgot to say, likeing the work looks good, staged progession ,much like mine.. just as a quick tip i used black sound proofing foam( sticky backed to cover the visable interior of my case, and done well it looks kinda , alcantara'd (like a furry dashboard) , i think it looks pretty good and has less reflectivity then paint and helps with noise levels.

EDIT////
I tried the baking suggestion and it worked! installed the 8800 on my friends new build and it fired right up. im shocked to say the least, we both couldnt believe it actually worked. i have since sleeved the remaining 12 pci cables and installed the card and enabled sli. all systems go. all i have yet to do is clean the water block for it. does anyone know if draino is bad for copper? thanks you so much for the baking suggestion |
