May i know which brand of 8600GT Oc edition is the best i can find now?Coz i am getting one soon. Heard that XFX xxx edition is well but colourful extreme 1.0ns is worth.How about other manufacturer like MSI,Leadtek or Galaxy.Thanks for advice.

I never thought that my CPU cant handle such tempreture... All i can do now is open my left cover and put a standing fan blowing my PC... ITS the only way to prevent my PC sudden restart or blue screen...
Anyone here know how 2 make it better other than the way i using now!?

Not sure how much is the comparison between the XXX and the Ultra edition but looking at the core/memory speed, i guess the Ultra should be better. For now, the best deal would be the Ultra OC from Colorful or maybe the Galaxy 8600GE if you can find it.

geez.....i need a new case...

previously my idle has been at 70 for my 8800.... even with sidepanel open (but no fan)...

this morning i open the side panel and point a fan towards the GC and it dropped to 63! and still dropping!!

either that or i need a blowhole for my GC....

dammit..now my case is gonna be full of dust

That's what I've been trying to say. Why don't you all just open the side casing!!! Will do a lot of good for your rig!!

See, like my rig, it is bare naked....

LOL..Be ready to clean your rig every day due to dust...But seriously, the 8800 is really making my room quite warm..

dust bro....DUST!!! u have no idea how bad is the dust in my room man...somemore my room no ventilation . if i leave it like that ill end up having to clean my GC HSF once a week! its THAT bad


same here man...somemore my room no ventilation...lagi siao

That bad huh? Even on elevated position?

Anyway, back to the topic. When in the world is true DX10 games (e.g. crysis) coming out? I want to get a 8800 GTX!!!

LOL..I tried that on my casing. Running without side panel and gosh, my GC was covered with dust in a week or two. Heck, even with filter now, my front panel filter is completely covered in dust in a mere 2 weeks..

2 weeks only meh?? my front filter gets clogged in 7 days

back to topic

kmarc...i think by the time crysis and other DX10 games come out....Nvidia would probably have released the 9 series liao

Haiyooo.....not another waiting game!!!

But then again, the prices for the 8800 GTX would drop, right?

typically yeah the price would drop....

BUT


by then u wouldnt be itching for an 8800GTX.... ud probably be itching for the 9800GTX

No no.... I've made up my mind to upgrade within these 1-2 months and that's what I going to do! Look at my rig, already old la.... time to pass it to my wife!!!

just want ask one question ! the nvidia will annouce the new gpu in between 8600gts and 8800gts 320 ?
like dx10 , SM4.0 , 256bit 256mb ddr3 , 120 stream processing .

Hi.. I just bought a new Gigabyte 8500 GT 256MB 128 bit card. But i just wandering why is it my 3dmark2006 is very low which is 2734. You can see the result from the spoiler. Can anybody explain to me why.

My GTX makes the lower side of my case act like a nice feet warmer.
Seriously, it heats up the whole casing. Read somewhere that the GTX (possibly GTS also) puts out a lot of hot air into the case. I prob need one of those fans to suck the air out from the bottom of the case.

yea..im using gtx and when im playing sup com,i can feel the heat coz i turn my big 25cm fan intake into taking out air..its so hot in the room now =.=

top of the casing is better, since the hot air rises
