Since it's a fairly powerful card, how big is the cooler then to be passive?

The cooler runs across the whole length of the card. The cooler is "on top" of the card and the heat is spreading to it through 4 heat pipes. http://www.bootdaily.com/index ... ;limit=1&limitstart=2

Very interesting...I thought that only low-end cards could be cooled passively.

Nice overclocks on the cards, what was the Memory @ stock on the 6600?

You got a CPU-Z validation for that?

If that's the old 90nm core then jeezus.

PC specs.

I got bored and re-did my whole water-cooling system, I combined my existing Reserator 1 + Fan Kit with a Reserator 1 Plus I had "lying around", to make a dual Rad/Pump/Res single loop. Helps performance a bit and looks 1337!

Cable management looks bad, but it's not - the wires are at the side so theres a "tunnel" of air going through.

I'm missing 1 GB of RAM because it died, and my second GFX card (the 6600GT) keeps overheating, but meh.

For reference...

Water goes from the Black Reserator, through my PC to the CPU block, then back out to the Blue Reserator, then through to the Black one, then to my PC again...

EDIT - I was so bored I actually took all the tubing out, swapped the CPU block for an identical one without a tiny scratch on the bottom and re-seated the heatsink on the GPU using a small amount of AS5...

wow, just read your rig specs, that's awesome! how many FPS do you run?


ok, my rig for now(hopefully to be upgraded soon and will use my macbook once it's got bootcamp on it): piece 'o crap 5 year old compaq laptop with like a 32mb integrated graphics card that won't run even multiplayer

I'm on a 2.5ghz quad core q6600, 2GB ram, Nvidia Gforce 9800gtx with a Asus Commando mobo, I use a G25 race wheel.

I just built her last week and so far so good, 250fps at full settings, full AA with high res texture set.

it was a bargain hunt, think I done ok for 700 euro including delivery.

Yeah, that card pleased all my needs, it was a monster
But keeping in mind that its value is about 60€... I had curiosity and there wasn´t too much to lose
The problem was I made a mistake when soldering, and when I tried to remove the welding, I pulled away a resistor and a half Perharps I´ll try to fix it someday, I really loved that card
