I'm probably going to put Accelero S1's on each. Although I'm gonna see what temps I'm gonna have first. I have a P182 case with 5x Yate Loons in it so it has excellent ventilation. I'm also using an H20-120 Compact kit for my CPU.

P.S. - I'm an idiot because I've had an 8600GT for a few months now, so I could be part of this club anyway, doh!

Haha lol, you need to purchase an extra long flexible SLi bridge to SLi the 8800GTs if you want to install S1s on each of them.

im sure the first thing TPK did when he refreshed the page and found that was crap himself as he clicked report on each post and frothed at the mouth as he typed how horrable they where for spaming his thred like that, like the times i have seen him re-make his "rate this system" because somebody gave him a bad review........ at least hes not admited hes mentaly unstable!!!!! now if only he goes and gets some help for it.

i would post some rainbows to calm him down but he may die from the aneurysm it is likely to cause if he sees another one any time soon.

oh and i have seen good reports using the OLD thermal right 7 seirse gpu coolers on the common 8800 cards, just a SMALL tweak to the cooler or the cards fan power connection and they go right on and blow the heat OUT OF THE CASE!!!!!

Ok back on topic AGAIN I just installed my 8800gt into my matx case. (surprising amount of room for a longer card, maybe I'll have to get a 3870x2.) I'll post pics soon.

can i join the 8 series club

I have the ECS 8800GT 512MB that comes with the Accelero S1 already installed with ramsinks and includes the turbo module

default clocks are 600/1620/1800 and is now clocked at 720/1750/2110

here is a pic of what my card looks like



will take some pics on my card

they idle without turbo modules is 43 and load reaches around 50-52
idle is 39 degree's, load is 44 degree's with turbo modules running
(will swap stock thermal paste with some mx-2 soon)

ambient temp is around 26 degrees

Edit: managed to get 30 degrees idle on my GPU xD, 1 degree lower than CPU

Right - Sorry its taken me so long (almost 2 weeks?!?!) to get around to do some screenies - i have been a very busy bunny often to busy in CoD4 to even care about personal hygene since I got this new graphics card in. so without further f**king around...

& the boxs are still in the corner like it was Christmas yesterday


My score - keep in mind that I am running this on a machine that has 'aged gracefully' with a few minor hicups (check my spec tab) what ever you people may say i dont care cuz it was huge boost over my X1800XT & thats all that matters think my X1800XT struggled to break the 9k+ barrier....
