OMG i win something... this is so unexpected @@

will post more pic one i got my E8600 core2duo and put in my freezer extreme then maybe later a samsung 2253BW monitor..

errr what casing is this....ur 24 pin power cable dun pull from top marh.. sure look messy. let it come out from the side. your back blue led exhaust fan wire route to the top behind ur CPU cooler the bring it to the back of the mootherboard tray. the connect the power at the back

let u see my right panel where i hide all my wires...very geli.
most of this skcs1985 guide me geh.. very good seller he is

i run 4 harddisk.... 2sata 2pata

this is the back

LOL!! naked PC... wanna see wanna see =D

hilmiangah my sidepanel actually very very hard to close geh with that cables all there

wah lehteck. acrylic case lor~~ nice nice.. take photo with lights off!! sure nice.

anyway the 4870GS kinda channel the air the wrong way =.=.. suppose refference direct heat outside. this 1 another way around. try put your hand at the end of the car... u can feel the air flow.. even at 50% fan speed the air flow is very powerful.... the PCB gets really hot... they are originally very hot anyway hahha. thx to the golden sample the chip stay cool

hohoho.. i can see u use the cooler master 90CFM 19DBA 12cm fans. 5-6 of them (can't tell if u change the front intake fan also). it was said that the fan only produces 69CFM, but that's quite a lot oso i only using CM red led fan with 42CFM and one Xigmatek XLF with 60CFM.
cooler master hyper TX2 oso. and that drive bay got that CM meter thinggy... (what is that for arh?)
CM supporter i see
there must be typhoon in your case

aric_68 CM690 go all blue
my CM690 go all red
i wanna see more colour ><

we should be posting this back in CM's thread

urm.. lets say... i wan to purchase an original game.. i have to get a voucher from netraid then purchase from someone else?
then who would be the someone else.. since i am in penang i would like to know. rm38 for original game very tempting... better than those pirated games which sells for 10 bucks per DVD =.=
or izzit possible to have netraid purchase and send over? just wondering

Page 43... i posted pic of my 4870GS marh.. i macro shot the turbo switch clear clear lor.. go see~~

EP45-DS3R is a P45 board. of coz will fit. PCI-E 2.0 single lane at 16x baby
FULL POWAHH lol
as for blocking your ram locker.. i just went to take a look the board photo and compare to my PC with my 4870 installed. my answer to you is.. you better install you ram 1st b4 put in ur graphic card.. the PCI-E slot align pretty close to the ram locker so if you wan to remove your ram after than you might need to remove you GC as well ><

erickhan: ,my advice.. go more... 800 watt if you may.
you'll never know when u might need it
maybe in the future u may want to xfire your 4850. add more hdd. component. that way u have no worries and all ur hardware surely cukup makan.

that's the reason why i got a 750w. i could i got higher watt but that time budget not allowing me.
me runnin 4870GS. 4gb ram and E8600 with 4 hdd DVDRW drive and 6 LED fans.

waa. the mp3 that i won dunno how netraid posting to me. since i am in penang. my pm not replied yet.
Netraid: i claim my stuff after oct 4th ya.. tomolo leaving to hong kong ady haha
dark steno what game did u get? titles pls.. i kinda interested oso

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

anybody mind tell me is the 4850 shorter?

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

my 750w cooler master real power pro is under 500 bucks.... can opt for that.
better not save money on PSU lor in my opinion... most important component in a rig

yep always go for good brand and true power only
those with 80PLUS efficiency.
ur hardware happy get enuf power. you electric bill oso wont cry since less power will lost into the air

speaking about turbo i haven't try out yet haha. been playing race driver GRID on max settings at 1280x1024 4XAA no lag at all ><
CM690..... i wan to sell mine.... it's only 2 months old.. used for 1 month... and switch to cooler master HAF932 but....so far no money....
the problem now is... i got my arctic cooling freezer xtreme and.... if i were to install it... both of my top exaust fan i have to remove... the cooler too big T_T
now using arctic cooling freezer 7 pro..
see a lot of ppl using cooler master Hyper TX2. lol. same design as my freezer 7 pro just that its's a lot taller and got plastic case on it =/ my cheaper counterpart.

i going to turn off my PC and switch to turbo now and see what happens.
so far on normal mode with catalyst 8.9 no problem at all =/

note: golden sample models seems to have less stuff in package. mine only comes with DVI>VGA. DVI>HDMI. CD. Manual. and twin molex to single 6pin PCI-E. was hoping it comes with a 8pin PCIE to 2x 6pin PCIE converter xfire bridge not included also

my 4870GS i operating at 49-51C idle 565rpm fan speed.
under load never exceed 63C
and under load the fan oso run at 1k RPM only
if set the fan max can get around 7C less

---

Added on September 25, 2008, 8:28 ami just did some adjustment in my CM690 due to the way 4870GS channel it's hot air
got noticeable 2-3C drop in temperature



with the fan now blowing the hot air out of the case from the side. you can even use it to warm you hand on cold days

hope it helps
