Says nVidia graphic, not SLi

Quote from Jakg :

says dual ati crossfire and nvidia graphics, bit misleading if you ask me

It's marketing speak - a lot of people think you can't use an ATi card with an nVidia chipset for example - they are just saying it'll work.

Oh I get it, but anyways, I really dont see huge plusses on running sli anyway Just sounds cooler + eats more electricity probably :P and the perforamnce isnt that much better, than a good single card =]

Nice Rig! What's your CPU cooler?

...!


Is that 4 GHz STABLE?

So far i've only seen one chip that can do that on air stably!

Thanks srdsprinter. Cooling is a Gemini II, maybe soonish watercooling, although I might just waste my money on a Q9450 instead of watercooling.

4ghz isn't stable, I run it at 3.2 for everyday use and it is rock solid prime stable for over 12 hours. What cooler are they using to get it stable on air and what revision and VID is their chip? I tihnk my motherboard is holding me back from going stable. Still experimenting with BIOS settings.

I've heard of a couple Q6600's that'll do 4.0, not for 24/7 stuff unfortunately. You either have to have a lapped ThermalRight Ultra 120 Extreme (TRUE) or water in combination with a very special Q6600 to think about 4.0 stable, I'd guess.

Your system ssssssssssssssucks!

I could buy 10 pc's with that money you spend there.

I could build a PC that's the same speed for about 2/3 of the cost, yes, but some stuff (like the GFX card) was free and so i can't complain.

Feel free to coment on any specific area that sucks, though!

Can I have it?

You may date my sister as a trade

That would be great if A. I'm not allowed to sell it (otherwise i'd have an 8800GT and some cash) and B. I don't need a date, as I already HAVE a girl, let alone need a Dutch one!

Holland vs UK

Holland wins.

Atleast, Pick a good motherboard for me which runs 8800gt on sli.

btw, 8800GT users. The fan is really annoying. When I start my pc is tuns on 100% for 5 sec and then back to 29%. On windows I changed it with rivatuner to 60%.

So is it normal that it runs on 100% after pressing the startbutton of my pc?

If you are planning to overclock do not update the bios to 0905 Beta version because with that bios the cpu does not overclock for shit.

That's quite a nice system there. Too bad you couldn't get a better video card though. Also, don't worry too much about buying a car, because even if you did, there's no way you could possibly afford the insurance on it.

If your really annoyed, buy a aftermarket cooler

Meh, I already spended too much money. wont pay another 100 for 2 coolers.
