Call and see if you can make arrangements to Australia.


BTW tracer just looks awesome. After Tracer regular mem. looks dull.....I'm a sucker for LEDs

you're better off getting a tec block from swiftech and a meanwell psu(with the relay switch!!!) with the 200 bucks that card costs. plus you dont want a full coverage block cause theres no reason to dump the v reg heat into your system when theres really no point in cooling the vreg other then so that your card doesn't go bad. and for that all you need are some very nice swiftech heatsinks. and you can use the heatsinks for your memory too.

I was look at the water block Thermaltake CL-W0153 TMG ND4 or the Zalman ZM-GWB8800-GTX VGA Water block
?

 

[panchoman]

they look preety cool but i still say get a swiftech mc80(or whatever the block model is) with the optional mc8800 heatsink set, and then you're all set.

depends on the block itself, a very well made block by swiftech beats all the other blocks since swiftech uses pins instead of channels so their isn't that much of a flow restrication which is better for the system and the cooler is superb plus theres a great lap job right from the factory though thermaltakes are very well lapped too.

the zalmans are whack, they use aluminium instead of cooper.

ok thanks mite get the thermaltake one because i no it will fit with out any problems.

I've heard you can hit crazy numbers with that block on the GTX.

Still don't have the relay installed LOL.


The danger den block will blow both of those blocks that you are looking for away. IMO.

do you guys think my water cooleing kit is goin to fit inside my antec 900 case think ill have to get a biger case and the thermaltake water block can be used for sli video cards to

 

[panchoman]

while the thermaltake is nice and all the swiftech has performance. and i dont like the dangerden lol cause theres no point in dumping v reg heat into the system. and i do suggest getting the swiftech and meanwell with the relay!!!! (poor wile e) and get a swiftech radbox to mount the rads to the back of your case.

Hi guys i have 2x1gb Crucial Ballistix, 2x1gb Crucial Ballistix Tracer i no there the same memory but ones with out the leds, Im thinking of selling my 2 Crucial Ballistix to get 2 more Crucial Ballistix Tracer or am i wasting money

If you buy the new sticks, you wont be getting the same chips (D9). They will also be single sided. I wrote a post about these. This includes the sticks without the led's. I would keep the ones you have. They are better than the ones they are selling now. Read my post.

Not anymore. I just RMA'd two sticks. 2 gig kit. They dont make the two side sticks any more. I argued with them for two days about it. They said the new sticks have the same performance as the old ones and to bad, your stuck with them. This is why I posted this on just about every forum. If you read my post. I wrote the part numbers and the differences. I own both set. The old style had LEDS on two sides of the stick. The new style have LEDs on one side of the stick. Old style has 16 Modules (dual sided). New style has 8 modules (single sided). If you RMA you sticks, you will get the new style. Thats it. I know because I just went through it. I can post the Emails.
