Sweet

Koolance makes a water block for the GTX 295: $160.00

http://www.koolance.com/water-cooling/product_info.php?product_id=778

I had water blocks on 2 3870's and 2 4870's ~ had no problems and they kept the cards nice and cool. I am saving to buy one for my ASUS GTX 295.

Still gonna fold em'. I'm looking for a reasonably priced case with 8 expansion slots so I can fold 2 9800GTX+ and 2 8800GTS 512 together on one rig. I got an old case that i may hack up to accomplish this. I'm trying to consolidate rigs for energy efficiency and the chance to free up my HTPC so I can actually use it for it's intended purpose....LOL

mmaakk · Mar 21, 2009

Great stuff Buck. Total folding destruction with this MONSTER.

Now you can show Fit what a 295 can do! hehehe...

I hope he gets jealous and follow you for a TOTAL folding squeeze of a GTX295!!!

That would be ideal. We will call it "The GTX295 Folding Challenge". And to think I almost had second thoughts about buying it, LOL.

BUCK NASTY · Mar 24, 2009

I saw another ASUS GTX295 for $352.50 last night. I almost grabbed a second one, but rationality took hold and I deleted it from my cart. Well, mine will be here Thursday and I'm preparing the rigs now. I should be pushing 90K+ ppd after the upgrades. Has anyone heard from Beertintedgoggles? He like disappeared...

mrw1986 · Mar 24, 2009

That's a great deal...wow...congrats man!

Beertintedgoggles · Mar 25, 2009

I'm stuck here in Naples with barely more than dial up speed. Tomorrow I have to drive up to Rome at the ass crack of dawn. Unfortunately I shut off my machines before flying over here for work last week. They'll be back up Saturday night as long as nothing unexpected happens with our systems over here. At least the wine is good, buffalo mozzerela is great, and espresso even better!

By the way, nice upgrade.
