Well, I replaced the GPU heatsink since it's had 2 RROD's, and with this sink the DVD drive will be mounted externally... Not exactly sure how anyway

Next I cut out the bottom hole so I could flip the psu (I've been wanting to do this for a long time!).

Do you see the face?

I installed an Aerocool Touch 2000 to keep the noise down while my women is home because she is always nagging about the computer being to loud

, then crank them up for gaming and benching.

Got no games installed

Downloading 3DMark 06 now and Vantage later to see how they do compared to single card. I'll install Crysis tomorrow and see how it does

(FIH) The Don · Mar 31, 2010, 03:20 AM

oh, that sucks
i think i hit around 25k in 06 with my i7 at 4ghz, will get my 5850 in a few days, and another in a month or 2

and you should be able to run crysis pretty much maxxed out in full hd

Yeah, remember they are in my AMD rig so I won't get as high, but it should still do good.

(FIH) The Don · Mar 31, 2010, 03:29 AM

yeah you're right, just forgot about that

but i hit close to 22k with my 965 i think,
but do a run and let us know how it turns out

just dont be dissapointed if you dont get much more than with your old 4850s
