I tried open the case already. The temperature drop by 1'C when idle and 3'C on load.

case is very important in PC rig. Better case can produce better performance.

A typical good casing should have front and back 120mm fan, side 80mm and good cable management.

should say a good casing with good airflow.. no point having a very expensive casing but the airflow sux..

, i've got 7950GT + X1900XT, why would i must get the 7600GT of yours , well if the price is sub RM200, than i'll take it , actually, i'm looking for spare card to play with ...

I think my problem is not the casing air flow problem as i use a table fan to blow the gc while i am playing game. The highest it can goes is 87'C . Do you all think is the stock fan problem?
FYI i am using XFX8600GT XXX

n until today shawty still hasnt got his digicam yet.

WAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH!!!! PWN3D!!!

How many gc you want in your disposal... so many arr??

*sad.. me don't have a digi cam either.. if not surely I'll show off a little with my puny rig..

same here no purple color shaking dude

didn't know that coloful 8600Ultra is a dual slot card until now

anyway madman pls post benchies asap

most GCs these days are dual slot already ler....either the lowly Galaxy 7300GT oso dual slot due to the cooler....

benchies will take another 1-2 weeks as i dont really have the time to fix the righ during the weekdays. everyday work til late night.

@Phoenixwunin
