i agree with you too.... the looks of the HR03 GT is cool...... ha ha ha... who cares the looks anyway... ke ke ke

My PSU is Cooler Master Real Power M1000...

I would think 1000W is enuff to power the monster!

It was working fine yesterday..


was getting 200FPS on fully souped up COD4 on 1920X1200

hurm that psu should be more than enough to power 2x4870, so the prob must be something else, btw did u tried to replicate the problem? i mean did u tried to boot ur pc while ur aircond is not running one more time?

hmmm 200fps... what processor u using? seems that i have to go CF also soon....

Well.. i gonna try later tonight, and see. But when i open the room door, and the room became warm... it stopped working again

not necessary is gpu fail... gpu may produce a lot of heat but the cpu might fail due to the overheating and cause the systme to shutdonw...
i think the GPU can sustain high temp near to 100C

or maybe power supply overheated... you got to check those out.....

Added on July 3, 2008, 11:39 amno wonder 200fps la... i think if i CF, my result will be the same... yesterday tried OC processor till 3.8G... phew..... GENG!!!!

To add to sites with unreliable reviews is Tom's and Anand.

http://www.theinquirer.net/gb/inquirer/new...hoop-ass-itself <-- if it is true... it maybe soon before nVidia needs a massive investor infuse if not they r dead. They r not like AMD which if u really look at who can sustain loses for yrs n still get investors to join them.

i rather wait 4 the final version first

i reckon its about 100C and above.. because even on normal operation its running at about 80-90C...

Actually, i uninstalled Asus Smart Doctor.. mebbe that coz problem... the fans not controlled properly..

Any one try the new cooler from Arctic Cooling Accelero TWIN TURBO? Available at market now?

about toms review hurm i dun know, i dun trust them too much..
but u said anand's review is unreliable?
hurm, for me their review is reliable because they knew what their talking about when they discuss about cpu, gpu architecture and their benching methodology is very detailed

why Tom's and Anand's review are unreliable?

Hmmm

Wondering what I should do now...

Hopefully its just a heat issue... mebbe gotta get those liquid cooling like artic cooling thingy..

you got to monitor...... try not use any auto smat doctor or any softwar for the fan speed control.. full blast the fan if possible for proper cooling... if not cooled properly, something might burn..

my idle before i change the profile iss around 79C.. yours is kinda high... maybe your ventilation.. try open casing and run the system and see..... the temp should go down abit.. i suggest you change the fan speed of your Cards, let the fan blow out the hot air instead of retaining in your system.... just change the fan speed from 22 to 40-50.. you will see dramatic drop of temp of the card.

That what i did.. i open my casing.. then it started to work (in addition to the aircond)..

How do you change the profile?

do refer to the previous posting... there are couple of people done it... i didt it.. duno how to explain.. ha ha... XP and vista is slightly different in file path.... check further...

first... open CCC, then turn on the Overdrive (overclocking segment).. then go to profile, create one name and save it...

then under the c: document files... bla bla... please refer back.. i forgot...
edit the profile you saved and then change the value for the fan speed... default should be 22C.

Ok lar.. will figure that part out later... when i get back home tonight...

Now... mebbe i should download 3dMark 06

Age of conan still cannot fully ultilized my GFX at 100% where crysis or other game can do so. But little performance increase by feel as it is smoother than before. It is like with 8xAA edge-detect, it is some where like when i am using 8.6 4xAA.

Anand and Tom were friends before they argued about money and Anand left to creat his own site.

Tom's reviews suck. Its plain and simple. I know from experience. Hell here a screenshot of such suspect article:





Give me one good reason why u must use hoax as a tag for the picture?

As for Anand, I actually stuck with them when they broke off to start their site until I read one editorial where he was blasting AMD as being a lousy company making CPUs because they refuse to bend on their policy of never sending out free review samples. That to me equals a big F U.

but that dindnt make them skew the benchmark score or degrade their knowledge or testing methods do they? it's all that matters... the credibility of benchmarks
