Disappointed,no Asus Xonar comes out from you. Raptor 74GB only? Enough to use or not? 5*90CFM fans? On your CM690 ? Asus P5-Q Pro heard is not bad in o/cing. Your kentsfiled still can pushing harder to 3.3GHz .

@Ray
Haha.. The 74Gb just for mainly OS partition man. Games & etc will store at my other disk. Yea.. I not sure how far can the P5Q-PRO goes, but with my UD3R i could archive 3.2Ghz with 1:1 ratio. And CIE on.

Btw, Acer H233H rocks. 23 inch, 16:9 full HD, all VGA, HDMI & DVI port available, 2ms response and the mainly thing i buy it is because of the price. RM630 only.

P/s: Yea.. Cooler master 90cfm fan.. Rocks! Ask Edmin.. We are damnly satisfied with the performance, silent yet powerful. Good to act as exhaust fan. And RM27 per biji. Damn cheap if compare with those branded like silver stone.

Just now play C&C 3,i use Hardware Monitor to monitored my temperature. My GC can reach 71 degree C the highest, Guess need to get a Zalman to cool it down already. Sad sad...Don't know Zalman VF-700 Al-Cu can fit in my GC or not.

Bro, 71'c full load is cold enough. Mine 73'c on IDLE.

1:1 ratio is still getting the best performance in o/cing. I believe the performance won't be < than your UD3R. 22 inches with full HDMI supports. Nice.

his gc early gen is scorching hot. mine 50C idle, load max with atitool artifact finder only 74C.

GTS260 is having the same core too. The 216sp version from you is 55nm?

yeah. 216sp oc'ed.

fylon,suddenly my mine think that your GC's heat is circulating in the casing that's why you will need 5*90 CFM fans yo cool them down?

5 high speed fans will only turn his cm690 to a dust magnet.

gc's heat most likely does not stay in the cm690 based on the chassis design, even with stock chassis fans installed. i m using one so i know.

I think sometime in the future i must make myself upgrade to a btter casing instead of using both side naked with a help of 40cm table fan blade to cool my case down.

Haha.. I think the mobo placing also will influence the GC temp, my UP3R NB are much more near to my GC. But now swap to P5Q-PRO, temp drop to 65'c on idle. With 90CFM suck the hot air out from the side panel. And now over system has better temp control, core 1 38'c on idle, 54'c on full load in stock spd.

@ray, Ed
youched the sink, little warm only. i guess i not that crazy having party on the soundcard.

@fylon
waaa.... many nice item o...i dontbelieve you gonna stop upgrading. haha..... who knows i5 going cheap then you gonna swim there again jk

btw, 5*90cfm fan dust dust...

@edmin & Kabu
Ehe.. Can turn the performance down also bro. Asus smart Q-Fan control quite handy when come into managing the fan spd. 90CFM max can run @ 1.8k rpm le.. The sounds like vacum.

P/s: Kabu, no more upgrade from now, haha! Intel I series will not going to be in my list. Reason is, cant change proc as u want. Whenever a new proc wanted, then mobo have to be change as well. Not a wise choice, intel is going smart is sucking penny..

@kabu,same here. I have Audigy only,not X-Fi series. They have X-Fi series of course must take care off their toys.

@fylon,your CM690 by default also have quite good air circulation in the casing too.The casing itself has tiny holes to dissipate the heat from inside,won't it help much?

since he can afford the all fans, he just buy & install... as u know, kayaman style

Loled edmin burn to him too...By the way is the CM690 having good air flow by default as the original design of the casing can help to dissipate heat too. Interested to get one unit in the future.

definitely good airflow and value for money (price range wise). but be aware that it's a dust magnet! i need to wipe the outer grills and the whole casing every 3-4 days...

edmin,pros and cons over there...Well i don't mind to wipe out the dust there as my current casing is both side naked.

if that's no issue then great. changing frm my old casing to this drops my inner temp by few C, cpu and gpu.
