the GDEX packaging??? there isnt any...

i bought the card from karom...and hes the one who put the card into the big box (which happens to be a mineral water carton) and added in the styrofoam himself. so it was karom that put the extra effort into the packaging..not GDEX (recommended seller by the way thumbup.gif)

as for results... can go to the 3D Mark database in OC United. VT-Ten has almost the same rig as mine except that hes using XFX 8800GTS 320MB XXX Edition cards for SLI.

my results will have to wait...superbly busy right now...no time to setup...now oso still in office doh.gif

i hate massive amounts of work with tight deadlines...........

I am more interested in the temperature level of both card running in SLI. I remember last time (i think its arc_archive, sorry if i were wrong) that he is having trouble running BFG 8800GTS OC on SLI and temperature increases by about 10c.

mad man so busy ar.............

arcachive did have that problem, that why he sold off 1 of his card........the problem is with the 1st card, lack of cool air intake most proberly

btw why BFG, i have not exposed to the brand before, it seems so popular

anyway i did bought my strider56f from mypc months ago, price at 320, very good and stable for my setup, and i have 7 120mm vizo fans running on it it.........hehe... in my opinion, this quite worth it as other psu also cost around 250 above, add a bit more and u get this.......

The price not low because most mainstream users doesn't even bother to read articles about PSU's. smile.gif

I'm with sniper, if i were to get CM or Acbel for free [lets say a prize from a competition] i'll just sell it back at half price.
It's crap i tell you, if no one wants to buy it, i'll just use it to run my watercooling kit and some fans. laugh.gif

To power up my system?
HELL NO! :crappy:

Don't put in your mind that expensive PSU's are good, but don't put in your mind that cheap psu are good either. laugh.gif

You just have to know which one to choose.
To avoid from being fooled by the shop or by the product itself, read up some articles.

Not reviews, read articles.

Want more information about PSU's, go to the link below and read every single articles i've posted in the link below:

arc_archive's second card was idling @ 70C. he wasnt too happy about that so he sold it off.

BFG are known to OC like mad....i even managed to OC my first card to 680/2000 and perfectly 3D Mark 05 stable. didnt test with gaming though.

and it was arc_archive's 2nd card that he sold...

im not too worried about temps honestly...my first card is already idling at around 70C @ 60% fan speed.

and i plan to get an extra side panel and cut 2*120mm blowholes to supply the cards with fresh air. only thing is...Doom is out of stock for the side panel that i want doh.gif

So the max oc differ around 600 3dmark06 between OE and UE. Wonder what if translate to real world gaming. Not worth for UE since the price is RM120 more and the performance only around 3~5%.

Duhh, it's in the same series, what are you expecting a thousand points of differences?

Rather then spending an extra RM150 - RM300 for a 8600GTS that won't score more, which one will you choose?
Think about the price / performance ratio of Colorful 8600GT UE & retail 8600GTS.

The Colorful 8600GT UE performs at the same level or yet, better than some GTS but with a RM150 - RM300 cheaper than most retail GTS.
That's what you should think about, not compare between 8600GT OC & 8600GT UE. doh.gif

One thing for sure, the Colorful 8600GT UE won't be beaten easily by any retail 8600GTS, but, with a RM150 - RM300 cheaper than most retail 8600GTS. Think about that. smile.gif

Anyone planning to buy DX 10 card shouldn't buy now.

It is bad news for the current high end graphic card user 2.
