Whoa. V7 and at page 5 already? laugh.gif Not bad. S478 still going on strong. biggrin.gif

@astria,
If you're just gonna BT/surf on that rig, no point getting high end stuff. A good X2 would suffice. Unless maybe you're gonna watch full HD movies? haha even then I still think its good enough.

Lol.. Put fan filter! I ran me with 3x FM123 for ST and 1 original CM 12cm fan! lust.gif So far so good.. My proc without OC max load only 30'c while idle was 25'c.

Haha I have yet to change all the fans in my casing. Now currently all using stock CM 12cm fans. Damn lousy. Want to get those Silverstones lah, but its soo expensive sweat.gif

Haha.. Got poisoned. laugh.gif Yea.. Its a nice case basically, quite cheap if compare with other type. The interior quite big lo.. Can be mod for WC. thumbup.gif

Yeah. There's those holes at the back there where you can fit the WC tubes through. Don't know if its any good or not since I'm not into WC yet. laugh.gif


Lately my 6800GS overheating la. No OC also artifacts appear when playing CSS. Thinking of getting the Evercool Turbo 2 to replace the stock cooler. RM59 only. biggrin.gif

6800 over heating?

why ?

does it have a heat problem? how hot is hot on full load? biggrin.gif

I think my internals are too dusty. Too lazy to clean it up. laugh.gif Hmm..last I checked it hit 80c on full load. Caused artifacts to appear while gaming. sweat.gif

QUOTE(raymond5105 @ Oct 28 2008, 11:08 AM)
Wish you all the best in SPM. Well on your 6800GS,why is it overheating? CSS is sm3.0 demanding and due to cripple memory interface of your card,it's suffering.Mine can't play at all.Haha
*
Thanks a lot bro biggrin.gif Yeah I know, even with medium settings its lagging on my pc. Okay when playing online though. smile.gif

QUOTE(fylon @ Oct 28 2008, 12:55 PM)
LOL.. RA3!! Go go go! But then... Still the same no $$ for buy original.. sad.gif Torrent for it. tongue.gif
*
Haha the RA3 launch was really nice rclxms.gif I didn't buy it, but my friends did so I went there with them to kill some time. Quite worth it actually, RM139 for the standard pack. Got goodie bags, lucky draws, buffet lunch and free ice cream too. laugh.gif



Check out my coverage on the event : here. biggrin.gif Couldn't stay for the lucky draw though, which was at 8pm.

Wao,so high requirement on RA3. wink.gif
Added you in the list.Welcome to old school club.
ATI9550 is a crap,can't even compete with 9600XT is doesn't o/c.
8MB line can hit until 700+MB only?What is the fastest speed you can achieve for http downloading?
6800GT is a worth buy,hehe.


Added on November 1, 2008, 12:09 pm@FunkyRider , we are waiting for your o/c results. I'm keen waiting to see the potential of DDR2 perform on P4 Gallatin. Maybe you can give a try to sawp your CPU to your Asus mobo to o/c too! thumbup.gif
*
Yeah the 9550 is crap. At least buy the 6800GT already can satisfy the recommended requirement for RA3 laugh.gif laugh.gif

And 22" monitors are cheap too. RM600 can get a Samsung 22" LCD adi. Time for me to ditch my CRT laugh.gif

Haha.. Wrong channel la pengster! Later u'll just make all old school user here get envy. laugh.gif Seriously, just go for what u need. Either I7 or Quady wont be much diff if u don't utilized its power. wink.gif

What i can say is, if u going to do alot of work @ a time (multi-task) )hen Quady lo.. Casual use E8xxx series would be right the corner for u. tongue.gif
*
Haha but the thing is I7's mobo and rams are damn expensive sweat.gif so most probably i'll go for C2Q.

yup i'll be multitasking quite alot.encoding and editing pictures etc biggrin.gif

lately with my P4 and running lightroom, it takes a really long time for the pictures to load and also to process sad.gif

Anywasys, Im on low budget setup now. Unable to hook up powahful E8xxx series. sad.gif Currently on settting up up my own so call ultimate system for another 2-3 years "future proof".. laugh.gif

Yup. My rig most probably will consist of a Q9400/9550, 4GB ram, 9800GTX+/HD4870 and some mobo laugh.gif

With that upgrade, I dont think I'll be upgrading for another 6 years laugh.gif laugh.gif

@~Rogue~ ,do you found any good GC for your own?
@Klemann C ,Biostar was a low end mobo during P4 time. You want to buy it? Is it a S478 mobo?

Yeah. Planning to lah, but until now still no green light from my dad sweat.gif economy aint exactly good right now, so have to tahan as long as i can. smile.gif

probably will op for a cheap c2d or am2. but so far am2 seems cheaper. but have to wait for green light from dad also, or for the old hardware to give in. otherwise gotta use my own $$$ sweat.gif

haha looks like all of us are going to upgrade our rigs soon. P4 just wont cut it nowadays if you're doing heavy gaming/processor heavy applications laugh.gif

I'm sticking to C2D/C2Q. Eh, but the E2XXX series procs are quite cheap also what. laugh.gif
