I dunno about lcd or crt which is better, I buy a LCD because it looked cool and fresh on my table compared to a CRT

@Hyde`fK

mebbe can put this link on the first page oso...riva tuner fan control guide from aidlover.

http://home.comcast.net/~boogieman1954/880...eed%20guide.htm

also has a link to download a GC stressing software.

Sure no problem.

CRT is bulky, but to be frank, CRT's color is better than LCD's.

Added onto the list. Thanks for the guide.
As for stressing software, ATITool is good enough. But also added that one on the list as well for more choices.

oc'ed my 8600gt to 700/860mhz, getting 6782 marks in 3dmark06.. is that a nice one? But my load temp peak at 86c... which is quite damn high... which cooler should i use? Plan to get one in pcfair. But if i change the hsf, will i void the warranty?

@ben3003
can post ur 3dmark05 scores? 06 is cpu dependant so cant really judge the GC alone.

05 is not that CPU dependant. would like to know as i have an 8600 coming to me as well.

U could try out Zalman's or the thermalright cooler..but i dont think there will be any gpu cooler during pc fair

Peak temp is 86'C with OC?! Mine is 93'C without OC Still figuring out on how to reduce the temp.
Anyway, what's your temp at idle?

hhhhhhhmmmmm.......with the temps u guys are reporting..im kinda getting anxious...

i have an 8600GT OC Edition on the way and i wonder what the temps are gonna be like...especially since itll be placed inside a SFF (Microfly) case. but at least the cooler on the card look promising.

VF700 ACu works but still I have no money to buy it to overclock. Already spent too much on sound card and headphones.

don have 05 o.. maybe go download tonite. My temp at idle is around 57c if cool day, normal day is 59c, now which i consider quite heaty is 62c.

Your idle temp almost same with mine. I just installed a 120mm intake fan, the temp drop by 1'C but my chipset temparature increase by 2 - 3'C !!!
i think the problem is the gc itself, the air is blowing in opposite direction of the intake fan...perhaps the newly installed fan created turbulent in my casing when the air crash with the gc air...need to do some analysis to solve this problem. Modifying the casing should be the only way to solve this matter...sad.......

lolz.... u need some exhaust maybe. I just duno which cooler should i change to...

from first page....first post.

eh eh...not me ler...aidlover.. he posted the links quite some time ago in this thread which i got it from..

Haha, its ok. Editted anyway.

Problem is............. CRTs are very small n who on earth is gonna want a 30" behemoth CRT on the worktable even if it did exist. The table oso will picah lar if got 30" CRT. Also just imagine the amount of electricity it wud consume. Not very friendly to the planet eh.
I just finished Lost Planet n I didnt see any such purple color shaking shaking thingamajigs. Mebe it was ur drivers?
