Fit, off topic a bit, but I know you had GTX260's in SLi and Tri SLi, I have been offered a very good deal on 2 brand new Gainward 216SP 260GTX Golden Samples with factory fitted aftermarket coolers that my contact guarentees will do 770mhz, what I really want to know is how well you found they scaled? The reviews at stock I have read show they just pip the GTX295 in most things and I can get the 2 of them for the price of a 285.

My Thermaltake Toughpower 750W should take them with a bit to spare, from what I have read, in systems with an i7 at 4gig and cards on max overclock the load is around 600-650W.
 
yes its on water.. but only a pa160, laing d5 and a HK3.

the sound in the vid is the 400cfm delta on top of the 295s.

this ECS x58 rocks

if you are getting that good of a deal then you wont have any problem selling them if they dont live up to your expectations.

they sound pretty sick though. i'd say do it.

He's probably already doing that :rockout:
 
Holy hell Fit the overclock on that card is crazy!!!
 
Any chances that RMAing an i7 c0 step to Intel that a D0 step will come back to replace the "broken" one?
 
maybe in about 6 months after they sell all the C0s

it HAS TO be dead though or they wont take it.
 
My cpu is just not as stable under Vista anyone know why? and has anyone ever had the same results.

My cpu has been rock solid in all OS, so I wouldn't know why that is unless there is a driver conflict that's causing driver bluescreens.

I think my ram doesn't like vista and it might not be my cpu.
 
Maybe because different OSes use the CPU in a different way, and if you crash in one of them, that's mean your CPU is not really stable?

nope just found out this is a common problem with x64 os.

Hmm, I've never heard that. I've not had a problem under Vista 64.

the little while that I used it I never had a problem neither.
 
I have this problem, but it does not happen with Vista x64, but with XP instead. I can OC higher with Vista, but not XP.
