guy what do u think bout my system temparature...

noon time...
room temparature around 40C
due to my room direct sunlight and all door and windows is close..

GC temp 85c
system temp 56c <- after install 8800gts temp increase 10c
cpu temp 44c
pwm temp 56c

what is your guy opinion...i already palce order to for evercool fox 1 and fox 3 to blow the air in from front and blow the air in from bottom of gc..

waht u guy opinion..?

here my setup and my power usage and onli cpu draw power from my psu ..
e6400
mid-high end mobo spec power usage
evga 8800gts 320mb
scythe mine
2 dvdrw drive
4 fans 2 blower total 6 fan
1 external drive
all that with 100% load with fan, cpu and gpu

total power usage = 465watt and i using enermax 460watt but of cos 465watt my system will shortage when all item full load...

the calculator recomended me psu 560watt for more stability

http://www.extreme.outervision.com/psucalculator.jsp

erm i never face any problem for temporary cos i seldom 100% full load for my whole system unless u performace stress... so for me 460watt is enuf without OC


is amout watt is 492 including OC probably your PSU still can last you for 1 year+ before the capacitor become old and leak..that time your psu wattage will drop depending on power leakage...that is why the web recommended you 560-600 watt psu.. for now i temporary use the 460watt enermax....i plan to upgrade to fotron 600w or 700watt cos is cheaper compare to other and is true power with more than 80% efficiency..

last time mine also very hot due to as lots of hot air trap inside my casing.. thus making my cpu ambient temperature around 50+

i put 2 blower evercool fox 1 and fox 3 whihc has high speed fan to blow out the hot air...now my case ambient temparature around 30 which exactly the same of room temperature... this will help lower down every part temperature as the air inside is not that hot anymore...

even u have fan blow direct under the gfx, i still feel that ur fan is blowing hot air inside casing on to it..thus i dun think it help more...

every1 is pushing the limit of thier gpu ....

even i have 8800gts, i onli use it on my 17" lcd and onli playing dota and RO online =.=

now most of true power power supply will bundle with 6 pin pcie connectors.... i think your psu quit old or outdate edi..

can your psu support the card =_=

i not using asus be4...
if you feel the driver is good...why u still bother with smartdoctor...
if u wan to check the temp..u can use nvtune...complete with temp and oc section also

it all depend on you...for me i buying 8800gts but i just playing RO and DOTA, but of cos as much more high resolution....probably for me 7900 gs or 1950 pro will be sufficient...but at the end i choose 8800gts cos i just wan to test the product...

cos i alway dream to own high end series of technology item...at the end make myself broke

mine i use 2 evercool fox 1 and 2

1 suck from down and 1 suck from top...

it actully lower my temp around 10c inside case..

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

btw i think 8800gts 320 can support way higher than 19"...probably 22-24 still reasonable to support as last time high end 7 series card already can support 22 ~24..why not 8800gts which is fastter than all 7 series card...please correct me if i m wrong

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

400watt true power is practically enough....but try get more than 450watt is u can as u duno what item u going to add later to ur pc and ur 400w true power will deplete as time goes by probably by 1 year, due to bad cap, the max true power maybe drop to 350watt..who know right

lol all the time i tot XFX brand card was not cheap compare to other...now galaxy is much expensive than XFX edi

u can find the pricelist at www.hardwarezone.com.my

not worth u buy 8800 gts and u sell later..cos when that time the gts price will also drop and the second value will drop also ...maybe that time u have to pay more to get gtx compare now u direct spend 2k...

eg:
buy gts rm1100
price drop and sell gts around 600 (maybe gts that time cost around 900 onli)
then get gtx for rm1.7~1.8k if really that low.....total spend to get gtx = 600 (earn from sell )+ 500 (price of gts - sales) + 1200 (top up to get gtx) = RM2300 -> more expensive then u buy now...

btw, if you just normal gaming y go for high end gtx or ultra....

like me even i hardcore gamer ...i still can fully utilize my 8800 gts also...

i would rather go for 8800gts and save 1k in my bank....

not yet release
