They may at a higher resolution. Your specs state that you are using a 19" monitor so I would assume that you game at 1440 x 900 and you would not notice much difference with two 275's. However if you want to play games at 1920 x 1080 with eye candy, having a second 275 does indeed help~
Thankfully Left 4 Dead and Call of Duty both run great on many different systems (high to low end) and at different resolutions.

Oh ya I forgot about that and yes I am using a 19" so if I did HDMI through my 32" sony I guess I might want 2 gtx 275's?

How do those 275's run Crysis hammer? Just curious as that is the game that kicks my rigs ass the most.

 

[HammerON]

One GTX 275 will work fine. I would try it on your 32" and see how the game(s) look and feel first before buying another GTX 275.

That (and benching) are some of the reasons I bought another 275
I recently upgraded from a 22" to a 24" and found the game to lag with one 275. Crysis runs better (and looks great!) with 2 275's at 1920 x 1080, but I wish I still had my GTX 295 to compare results with

 

[phanbuey]

what about Call of duty and left 4 dead? They are maxed and I havent seen any lags yet, you think those games would benefit at all?

L4D would be a source game... And Call of Duty uses an old engine as well hence its DX9ness. BUT... MW2 does see much higher minimums when AA and AF are enabled... so instead of 60fps average and a 25-30 fps min when there is alot going on, you get 45-50fps min, for instance (at my resolution and settings) which helps when trying to line up the crosshairs on someone's face.

lol ya I play MW2

 

[phanbuey]

I used to have your exact same monitor just noticed.

 

[MRCL]

Phew. I'm almost finished with my rig now. I spent a whole King of Queens season sleeving the PSU.

Now I have to work everything in this case, which is challenging to say the least. Thats how it looks right now

 

[PP Mguire]

I did trade it. The RAM is the same one. Funny, this setup feels snappier

Ive had both, my i5 kicks the P2s ass hands down in anything
All i do is gaming.

Then I'm taking this rig and throw it out the window and then I pout

 

[MRCL]

Aaaaw F**K I just noticed three of my 45° fittings are 16/13 instead of 19/13, MOTHERLOVER! Now the lock nut won't fit over the tubing when its connected. Damn. What now. I don't really have faith in those fittings without the lock nut but I might as well have to go with that for now, DAMNIT

 

[pantherx12]

Why not use adjustable O-rings?

Paint them if they're oxidised appearance offends : ]

 

[phanbuey]

zip-ties... or manhattan clips... but I would order new ones.

 

[MRCL]

Thing is the store doesn't carry 45°s in 19/13 size... I can ask the guy there if he can get some for me, but this would take a week minimum. Maybe I'll run the comp like this now and try to get some replacement fittings. Because I can not stand another week with just a eee pc lol.

can you change all the fittings and tubing to 16/13? or would that hurt performance?

Its more of a money thing. Change seven fittings and all tubing, or just three fittings. Performance wise its not really a difference.

i mean, i would try to return/sell all 7 that would cause you to wait and then buy the 7 that are in stock, just to have a rig NOW and not have to take the loop apart again later. Just a suggestion, but yeah if you cant return or sell them then i imagine it would be pretty silly.

Is there any way to machine the clamps? to make the hole bigger (why does that sound dirty?)

Heh its weekend coming up, so the order won't go through till monday. Then I have to wait for those lazy bums at the bank to transfer my money. Which can take up to two days. THEN I have to wait for the delivery coming from Germany, add three to four days to that. Catch my drift? Its a pain. I rather switch three fittings and redo the loop than wait so long without a rig.

No way. They're thin and already squeeze the tubing.

MRCL
great job with the sleeving bro.

@ Cory
i5's are know. To feel faster than i7's. I remember when FIT Said the same thing. Overall I like the feel of the PHII better, for now at least.

Thanks man! Altho I could have done it better. But it was my first time. And a whole day of sleeving really eats up your patience.

 

[(FIH) The Don]

it performs very well, (my pII)
but, i guess i'm a bit of a fanboy after all, i miss my i7 setup, i dont really feel the same, how can i explain it, power i think, than i did with my i7 920,

so that will def, be something i will be replacing within a few months i think.
or mayb go p55 with an i7 860.
dont really know yet

And MRCL, that looks very very very nice, looking forward to see the final result

 

[Chicken Patty]

@MRCL
same with me but for your first time it came out great. That's definitely a start

@the don
with the i7 you just feel superior. Kinda like having a really fast car you ride around feeling unstoppable because what are the odds of somebody beating you. At least that's how I feel. The PHII has some things the i7 doesn't have though. The advantage of everything having and unlocke multi for example. They both are great CPU's bubif I ever ge another i7 it'll be for benching/crunching. They shine doing that!

 

[MRCL]

Thanks David! Say you were sleeving too, no?

 

[p_o_s_pc]

how do you remove the 24pin?
