Want to ask...isn't brand Colorful is reliable? I'm want getting gc from brand Colorful but scared about the brand.

it is reliable, dont worry

And may i know what same level Nvidia with X1600XT? Anyway thanks for helping me.

x1600xt roughly same with 7600gt

Thanks for that answer. Just using and sastify with it.

colorful not bad la....full of color mah....
as for X1600XT,almost same performance than 7600GS,as for 7600GT is almost same as X1650XT....

Hi all, want to ask a noob question here, does notebook using pc100 sodimm ram can use pc133 sodimm ram or not? can't find any pc100 on the market oledi, so will consider if pc133 can be used.

i guess no problem seems it backward compatible..ur PC133 will be detected/rated as PC100

Thanks for the info, looks like better be careful than sorry after....

noob question here... casing side panel air hole for installin casing fan should be intake or outtake? and also the top surface of casing fan hole? intake or outtake? i wan to build a nice air flow system casing..

usually the front will be the intake while the rear will be the exhaust..
just like air coming from the front and blew out at behind..

and about the top or side, it depends on u..
usually i will make the top as exhaust, while the side is for intake to cool down my graphic card..

that's what i do.

it doesn't make sense to have top as intake, as that would go against the law of physics of hot vs cold air movements

it doesn't make snese to have fans on the lower side of the casing as exhaust either, as that would mean that cold air are taken out. and again, it's not using the law of physics to help the system.

Okay bro, since you're the Sifu, let me ask you something, what about the sidepanel fan?

Yea, most casing put the sidepanel fan as intake, but as far as we all know, we know that Lian-Li casings put the sidepanel fan as exhaust.

What do you think bro?

IMO deciding which one as intake or exhaust depends on the placement of the fan (height).

if you notice casings generally use the front panel fan as intake and the fan at the back (near PSU) as exhaust.

perhaps LianLi made that design for a purpose of blowing out the hot air produced by graphic card..

but if we think logically, its quite 'bad' to suck out the fresh air that are supposed to be used to cool down the graphic card..

so, intake is better..at least we can cool our soundcard and mobo as well

well, in any case it better to have one direction air flows.. just intake from front and exhaust at back... no need top and left.

hmm...if the position of side panel fan is at the top left side leh? means at the position of Proc with a turbine.... the fan should be intake or outtake? how about the position of side panel fan hole is in the middle of side panel or bottom left(graphic card)?

2nd ques... the Proc fan is blowing the air to the heat sink or sukin air from heatsink?

it should be intake, so that ur processor will be cooled down by a fresh air from outside

for me it should be intake as well, same reason as above: for cooling down ur gc

its blowing the air to the heatsink..

think logically, when u wanna drink something hot, u blow or u suck the hot air?
or when u feel hot, u stand at the front of the fan or behind the fan?

EDIT:problem fixed le. thank u everyone
