Newegg starts selling Palits!

[Palit_Guy]

1. We're kind of out of room on the bracket. It was either the vent to the outside or svideo out. We went for the exhaust.

2. We're working on the documentation. Support system is still under development and will be out as fast as we can get it out.

3. See 1.

4. I'm not sure about this one. Yes, it gets hot, that's why we put the giant heatsink on it. It's the coolest running card of any we've seen so far but unless you buy four or five of them, you may not know that.

the last guy probably saw 65C and was like but didnt realize thats just how new video cards work

 

[Bluefox1115]

i've seen 70 as an average on some cards.. its not a big deal anymore.. the core threshold is like 120degrees..

 

[cdawall]

i wish they ran like my 7800GS which loads @45c on the stock cooler

 

[GJSNeptune]

Did TPU already do its Newegg coupon deal?

 

[Cold Storm]

Nope, and talked with Damulta and Wile E, and there isn't one yet in the makings... So I just went and bought my 1gb Palit card

 

[Palit_Guy]

Nope. Between launching www.palitlan.com and now the GX2 launch and the impending GTX launch we've just been tied up. Prices are all in a state of flux right now anyway so I'm holding off on this until it makes a little more sense for everyone.

The idea is, if we have a $20 MIR for general use it seems a little flaky to me to then have a different $20 MIR for TPU only because you wouldn't be able to combine the two.

Bottom line is I haven't lost sight of this and thanks for following up. I just want to make sure it doesn't come off as some BS kind of thing.

 

[Cold Storm]

Oh, I know it wouldn't be that. Like I've said in the thread, I wanted to get the 1gb 8800gt. So lastnight I bought it! Can't wait to see it in my system with my Q6700!
Wile E, and Damulta give you guys nothing but props for the great work that has been done with the cards.. and soon so will I

 

[DaMulta]

Yes they really are great cards Cold.

You'll be shocked from the upgrade hd3870.(remember when I had a 2900 clocked at 900Mhz yea)

Just be sure to try out the oc tool that's hidden on the CD.

700/1800/900 is the easiest bump for 24/7 use on these cards. Of course you can do more, it's just those clocks have seemed to work on every single Palit 8800 I have seen.

 

[Cold Storm]

Oh, I will do. I'm all ways looking for new and different things. Don't want to be a person who is only "knowledge" in one side of the computer era.
Thanks and I'm hoping to get the card Thursday or Friday latest! I rushed the Itch!

 

[GJSNeptune]

Oh, it's going to be an MIR deal? Thought it'd be a coupon.




Someone trade for my Best Buy gift cards! I really want a Palit 9600 GT Sonic from Newegg.

I have never met somebody with newegg gift cards/certicates before. Just sell them for cash.

No shit. Newegg gift certificates are virtual. They exist only in cyberspace. Please see my avatar for my exact facial expression to your post.

Its a surprise you haven't sold any with such a nice attitude.

I am refering to having them and not using them idiot.

I'm the idiot? It's not an attitude I have with just anyone.

You don't have to have a Newegg gift certificate to trade for my gift cards. You go to Newegg.com's gift certificate area, put the recipient's email address in and an amount, and viola, they get an email with a gift certificate.

One of you three Palit guys, someone over at HardForum is asking about how good your warranties are. I told him about the 9600GT Sonic and he's quite impressed, but is wondering about the warranty.

 

[Palit_Guy]

Ya, he sent me a PM. Thanks for the heads up.

The MIR is the best way for us to handle it. But it should be good. And it won't be a fake one where it takes a dickyear to get your rebate.

well i think i'm gonna see how good palit's rma is. i just got my standard edition 9600gt and it sux. it runs cool but artifacs at default speeds. if i try to up any clocks on it it locks up and black screens.

i know its not my power suppy or overclock. tried it in 2 different pc's one pc has a 470 watt antec ps with 26 amps on the 12 volt, the other pc has a pc power and cooling 750 watt. in both pc's the palit has the same symptoms. my 8800gt works perfect in both rigs.

i guess its my own fault for buying the cheapest 9600gt palit has. even right after i clicked to buy it i was kicking myself for not buying the sonic version.

Damn. This is something I would count as DOA so no worries getting it replaced.

In fact, if you are headed to Stompfest in Indianapolis next weekend I'd be happy to bring your replacement with me and swap it out on the spot and save you the shipping.

Personally, unless you want the display port option the Sonic has, I think you're fine with the regular version you have. The feedback I'm getting on overclocking both versions doesn't really show any difference.

While I'm sure there are some of the regular ones that won't go as far as the Sonic edition I just haven't heard of any yet. I will tell you I like the cooler on the Sonic edition better but that's just based on looking at it. I haven't had time to put them both in the thermal chamber and compare temps. While it is bigger that doesn't ALWAYS mean better.

 

[GJSNeptune]

I have my eye on the Sonic version because of its exhaust vent. I really need the top corner of my case to have exhaust because of trapped hot air. (I'm using a Lian-Li A05b with upside-down ATX.) Right now I'm using a slot cooler that exhausts, but it's pretty loud. I'm hoping the Sonic will do the exhaust for me so I can turn off the slot cooler.

But then I'm concerned about the Sonic's casing, as it has openings in it. I was thinking I'd cover them up with tape so the air has no where to go but out of the case. Any thoughts?

 

[Palit_Guy]

I'm not sure that would be a good idea. The size of the vent slots are smaller than what I would normally expect for a card that intends for ALL the heat to be vented out the back.

However, I'm really surprised at the amount of air pushed out the back.

I tried it with a bench build not in a case at all first and it moved a surprising amount of air out the back. I'm not using any kind of fancy air flow meter, just my hand. When I put it in a case it did even better. If you have all your fans blowing inward, I suspect it will improve even further but I'm not sure that would give you an overall benefit in the end.

Best answer is, if you're trying to use the card to vent a large amount of air from your case, I don't think this is the solution. If you just want to add the least amount of heat to the inside of your case, this is your best available option since all the other designs vent all the heat back inside.

Give me a little time today and I'll cover the holes up with tape and see what happens. If that's going to overheat a card I'd rather it happen to me than you.

What kind of artifacts?

Turn down your memory and see what it does if you still have it on your desk. Altho if it doesnt run stock it's DOA, and should be RMAed.

 

[Palit_Guy]

@ DaMulta

It's totally the card. He said it's doing it at default speeds and he definitely has enough power. I suppose it could be other things but if he's smart enough to test it in other boards and post in here I think he's smart enough to know when it's the card or something else.

I don't think the type of artifacts is important since they all make the card "bad". I also don't care where the fault lies within the card because any fault makes it "bad".

 

[DaMulta]

Yea, I know it's the card.

Just saying if he needed it for a little bit, or it's just really me wanting to know what part failed on it.
