That's why monopoly is not good for end-users. Take MS for example........

but still the graphic card idle at 65 quite high temp but the fan speed around 60-70% by default...when load seldom when over 75 with fan speed at 100% ...

but overall my system temp drop alot as my pwm use to go over 65 and all give me beep beep sound due to pwm temp too high detect by mb... but now around 45 pwm temp

hey...i would like 2 ask should i get the 320mb or 640mb 88gts if i got 19" LCD??? how about 22" LCD???

another 320mb 8800GTS on a 22" user here. everythings fine...

set UT2004 to monitor native reso and everything max and its smooth.

NFS Carbon @stock settings oso no problem...

havent tested with other games yet though

that temp shold be ok for 8800 card cos i heard the 8800 can witstand up to 100c 

hi all,MSI got a 8600GT OC edition. my question here is can the pre-overclocked oc further? what about if we get the normal version and oc it manually?

Wow..Your Ntune can detect CPU temp as well?Why mine cant?LOL...Anyway, idling wise on a poor ventilation room without aircon, my card is always on 63c now. After turning on the PC for roughly 1 - 2 days, it shoot up to 65 - 67c before as well..Cant predict the load though. Maybe i should give the software a try..

yup that true ... i cannot ingame setting to high in graw 2 ... coz the game detect my GTS only 320MB n if u got more then 512MB the high setting will enable ... but I still can tweak it to high ... 

u guys ever try 168.18 32bit Xp driver ... it make my pc restart ...

8800gts is lidat i think. when i first bought the card, my idle speed is around 60C.

Maybe i should just go buy the card and not worry about the amps and those kinda shit, and if something happens to my hardware, i'll just go back to the shop and screw people up.

actually... how much watts is recommended for 2 8800 ultra for SLI usage? & Minimum watts requirements for these 2 **** card...

My plan is to get another SS fan just to cool down the GC. Or else, maybe i should look for Delta ones but they are too noisy to be accepted..

For now, reverting back to the 7300GT would be my best option as i could not stand the heat already..LOL..

Well, it had not really make my room really hot but my computer is really near to my feet area where i can really feel the heat. Besides, i am starting to feel some trouble with the card idling at such high temperature (from 58c to 70+c). Thats a jump of over 12c just in idling mode. I am also starting to have an indication that the card is one of the cause of my LCD going to power safe mode due to the temperature..

Well, all of these are my assumptions. I guess i need to clarify this later when i get the Side Panel fan and see how low can the temperature goes...LOL...

Halo2 only for Vista rite?
but its not full DX10 game though 

Chow

LCD stills a LCD.. Not as powerful as CRT..
I've tried on a 19" CRT Flat(Samsung Synmaster) and a 19" LCD(Samsung 931c) to play Lost Planet..
I turn the graphic/resolution details to all MAX, and found that when you facing some in-game scene that has mass shaking+blur effect.. CRT Flat no color problem, but i found that LCD will may have a bit color changed, which mean u'll saw some purple color in your shaking in-game scene..

yeah, XFX cooler is normal one only, or more precisely can say bad cooler.

I OC'ed my 8600GT Ultra to 760MHz, the idle temperature is only 51degrees with only stock HSF. [No aircond]

Around 54 - 55.
Why?

Do remember one thing, at the second i got the 8600GT Ultra Edition review set, i directly replace the stock TIM with the Arctic Cooling MX-2 thermal paste & i put a 120mm fan on top of the graphic card. [1400RPm]

I said no mod, means no changing heatsink or watercooling.

Many types of casings nowadays have a side fan on the sidepanel correct?
Then, what's wrong with me putting a 120mm fan on top of the graphic card?

It's just the same thing.
MX-2, yes i did, but did you call that a mod?

Most elite computer uses would do that.

I said "NO VMOD".
Read carefully before you bash me up or you will make yourself look stupid.

Did i say i'm an elite?
I said most elite users would do that.

Slash did that, and some of my customers who just received their graphic card do that too.
They didn't call that "A MOD"

U said earlier that i said "i didn't do any mod".
I asked you, when did i say i didn't do any mod?

I said "i didn't do any VMOD".
Owh wait, let me bold it up incase you didn't see it clearly. "I Didn't Do Any VMOD".

Clarify that.

Since some sidepanels by default has fan, so i am using that "default".
All my casing has sidepanel fan, i am using that logic, is that wrong?

That's not a so called "MOD".
That's what we call as using the same principal as using casing.

FYI, my pc run on naked, no casing, since i'm going to use the same principal, i put a fan on top of it.
That's "NOT MOD".

Replacing thermal paste called mod?
I LOL'ed.

Kid, i did admit my mistake for running the 3dmark06 on 1024 before right?
Do look around for some previous post of mine.

What are you here for?

Are you here just looking for my mistakes?
Rather than doing this, GET A LIFE!!!

I Lol'ed at you for being here just to find my mistakes.
Whatever craphead, you wanna go around find my mistakes again, go ahead, there's no use to talk with someone whose just looking for someone else mistakes.
That's a child's attitude.

Ohh, i know you will reply this, and the next reply will state some more of my "mistakes" that you found.
Ohh, i know you do, i know you want to.

Go ahead, let see what other mistakes of mine that you can find.
Once you've find it, post it here to show others all my mistakes.

Wait, i forgot to explain to you about one thing.
I said "51degrees with only stock HSF" Find a post where i said i leave everything in stock.

I really think you should learn english back.
My english are bad, but at least i can still understand what people post and not misunderstanding them.

Capische?

It is a very good card, no doubt about it. There is nothing wrong for him to brag about it.  Even if it's too much for some of us, you cannot do anything about it since its never void any R&R at the moment.

Buying for your brother?

I said stock heatsink, what part of nay doesn't thou understand?
And how many times do i have to repeat about the sidepanel fan thingie?

Do you have a problem reading english boy?

Well well well, you seem like won't stop telling others about my 3DMark06 mistake ehh?
What are you?

I already admit my 3DMark06 mistake, what else you want me to say?
And i was right about you will reply my last post.

Hey, i have a new nickname for ya, 3DMark06 Boy.
Yeah, that's good for you.

I have an idea, why don't you put my 3DMark06 mistake in yer signature?
That'll show all forumers about my mistake.

Me bragging?
Yes i am, go find an 8600GT that can fight with the Colorful 8600GT Ultra Edition, find one that can fight with it using only stock heatsink, if you can, i'll give you 10 units of Colorful 8600GT Ultra Edition.

Fight with me on your 8600GT one to one in my room, see either you can proof me just bragging without proof.
I have the rights the brag about it, why?
Because it's the best Nvidia 8600GT Card that you can find in "Malaysian" market.

I know you may reply this post again, and i'm waiting for it.
Let's see what else you've got to say.

Make so much fuss for wat? Take all the models of 8600GT in Malaysian market and compare with Colorful 8600GT UE, just by comparing the specs you will know that Colorful wins. Plus its stock heatsink is so much better.
The reason why I chose UE is cause it has the power connector. With that sure can overclock more than the OC version. Pricewise although over my budget abit, I still went ahead and bought the card. Almost GTS performance at a cheaper price.

Though I have no 120mm fan blowing at the card, my idle temps are 46 and looping 3Dmark06 gets me 60.
Since you're such a stickler for details, 1) I applied mx-2, 2)sidepanel open, 3)92mm exhaust fan

Colorful 8600GT OC doesn't use any extra power plug, so u can use those normal PSU to power it up.
Unlike 8600GT UE, it needs an extra 6Pin PCI-e molex.

So basically, any chapalang psu should be enough to power up the 8600GT OC.

@TomatomanzSeedlezz
I have answered all your question, but you're the one who keep repeating the same question again and again, i advise you to read properly all my post, if you can't understand it, learn english back, i have no intention to argue with you, but for you to repeat the same question again & again, it's just pure annoying.

Look at slash's post, he's not using any extra fan "on top" of his 8600GT UE, but he still manage to get 51degrees the maximum.

I have no intention to argue with you, whatever you post after this will just show how childish of you for repeating the same question and again but not trying to understand my post properly.

This is where i will stop talking to you, if i see any of your post again trying to start back the argument, i will report your post immidieately.
Nuff said.
