got a colourful 8600GT UP. managed to oc til 680/2000. not sure if stable or not. havent benched yet, dunhave 3dmark06. and no internet connection at home. would prefer not to have to sleep over at the cc just to dl 3dmark06. lol. and having problems with new rig. either graphics or ram. or vista. blue screen of death when gaming sometimes. in the process of troubleshooting. but the 8600GT cant handle 1440X900 in oblivion and it gets jerky in Test Drive Unlimited. gave up playing after losing due to screen freeze. btw my gc has a very hot pcb. gpu temp 63 idle, around 70+ load, but the pcb is very very very hot. hurm.


btw the enermax fma II 460W is pretty good. 22A and 20A on the 12V rails. very fat 12V rails for a 460W. satisfied customer? maybe, just bought the rig last week.

touched the pcb at the back, not far from sli bridge. damn hot. getting BSODs a few times. maybe nvidia driver oso problem. want to change back to windows xp to troubleshoot.
