already tweaked the fan by 65%... if its really the casing, why it doesnt restart when i'm using XP... before, i'm using 7600gt with same specs, and its worked. no autoboot..

will try crysis warhead when i come back from vacation. i haven't bought my processor... current using borrowed E2160 OCed to 3ghz

the XLF fan not very bright just nice.. the lights u can see in the case is white... but now my casing a lot brighter.. notice all the fans there. i got 5 red led cooler master fan installed. my fren say my PC datang haid =.= night time my room red red punya =.=

here's a pic b4 i get the XLF. i move the blue LED fan to the botton intake.
these photo too big so i use spoiler

lights on

lights off

PERIOD

and cooler master PSU not bad lar.. for real power pro. affordable choice oso. now oso less than 500 bucks for this 750w peak 950 if not wrong

will take photo with power on next time and post up

PS all these pic was taken b4 i got the 4870GS. inside 6600GT only lol

new 4850 GS user reporting in 

I got the new batch and it seems to be really cool

Idle: 36-39

Load: 43-45 (this is while playing Fifa 09 Demo, dont have other games to stress at the moment)

Mine is the old batch lol. Hmmm new batch seems better alot lol

hahah no worries lar jimmy. 4850 and 4870 is not very long only
just open my case and measure. exactly 23.5cm long for my 4870GS

lehteck: yar i know 500W enuf for single card but just in case future upgrade and stuff. 800W above sure can last you very long. in other words future proof lor

how come got spammer 1.... zzzz

I've tested my 4870 gs.Everything is fine now!

if you have 4870, crysis might look better. there's nothing much to see actually. i am not saying the graphic is not that great. but my 4850 GS can go to medium settings by default as crysis warhead is somewhat high requirement. race driver grid looked awesome on 4850 tho.

because AMD owns ATI too. if you have ATI graphic cards, AMD cpu and AMD chipset on the board, you will receive up to 50% boost.

hello wanna ask does this blackout/hang/bluescreen/driver stopped responding problem occur with other hd4850 custom cover owners?

I just noticed this part! Seriously no high pitch sound? Means my unit faulty?      When you online MSN PM me >.< I want confirm it before I ask zhen^wei.

yeah man i agree....i've browse browse most ppl's rig....almost all using st56ef...or st50ef....so i guess that brand is pretty nice.. but then again the price range is about the same...the reason why i'm getting a higher psu it's cuz i'm thinking of adding additional stuffs in...maybe extra cooler...maybe extra ram... :dizzy:
Corsair VX550w is very tempting...the single rail power output is very assuring ... i guess i'm getting that ...zzz... 

tried with furmark...but zz forgot to take screenshot...stability test for 20 mins ....temp reaching a dangerous level of 91 @.@

so i guess it's not temp prob...psu la means...zzz...

ya know i don really have confidence with huntkey hehe...my honest opinion... no offence...
so maybe try spend a bit higher lo... 

aiming on psu like

1) CM Real Power 550w
2) Silverstone Strider ST56F
3) Vantec Real Power Supply ION2+ 600W
actually aiming for the last one...cheapest ma...anyone here using Vantec Real Power Supply ION2+ 600W..ok? good?
