I took off the hsf of the colorful 8600gt ultra. It had yellow stuff as thermal paste/adhesive. Tough to remove them. Had to scrap and scrap. Then I applied mx-2. Now gonna update winxp and reinstall all my stuff so I can see the temps.

But this board looks nice for me to upgrade my old rig.Becuz AGP cards very expensive..maybe i can change the mobo and change the GC to PCI-E too.How much is the tforce?Biostar TForce 6100 Product Page @shawty u referring to me or doom?? doom ATI kaki ma |

i think its around 250-280 like that...quite cheap as its an m-ATX board.
thats is...if u can find it la...i think by now hard to find brand new ones...mine oso had to buy second hand.... mebbe u can ask some of the forumers who are bulking biostar products if they can get u think board. i think jy14 might be able to get u this board... take note that biostar has 2 s754 mobos that can support pcie. the tforce 6100 and the other one i forgot liao. |

thought u guys might like to see this... i got very itchy and decided to install the Colorful 8600GT Ultra Edition and run 3D Mark 05...card is on stock (clock window is unchecked!)
rig specs as in my sig...just replace the 8800GTS with the 8600GT. EVERYTHING is on stock.  notice the 3D Mark 05 main window...the card is detected as an 8600GTS. also look at the background in the red box. the GT only loses out by around a hundred points to the stock MSI 8600GTS OC im impressed full size pic (1680*1050) is in the spoiler » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « EDIT: forgot to put my temps... Idle: 48C Load: 66C with stock cooler This post has been edited by mADmAN: Aug 5 2007, 03:06 AM |
