haha! ask for my friend only.

nvm you just go ahead.

selling mine for my friend

So HD4850 really that hot?

then i might consider GTX260. anyone here have them already? how was the temp with this GC??

rgds

it can be that hot, if u stress both graphic card, in a casing that's FULLY closed with no exhaust fan, no intake, all passive

i never reached more than 80c pun when gaming with cf enabled

but since u going for gtx260, go for it man... performance wise, it beats 4850

I'm using GTX260+ 216SP withs stock fan

bro,i was testing by using a CM690 with an intake right beside them. no need passive already go 100c,if passive,it wont last for a minute,btw,both card have been oced to 4870 speed already.

hmm.. got try side intake as exhaust? i did dat and its doing 80c , idle just around 53~55c

The dominator fan seems to be ok.
The airflow is pretty good. Should be doing a good job cooling down the pair of xtreems.

Haha, the backplate cooler, didn't you realise it looks so new? I did not even feel like fitting it on. Already know it won't fit, so wasting time trying...

For the fans, try get some 25mm Deltas to mount on the front and rear, and the center, get another 200cfm delta...

Btw, i saw u guys were discussing about the 4850 or the GTX260 216SP.
I was wondering, why not go for a 4870 straight, get the Asus Dark KNight, the temps are pretty good for the 1gb version.

haha.... gonna get myself 3 pairs of delta 35mm when i get my pay
200cfm delta dun1 la, learned my lesson, now ill buy a much less noisier ones

i end up going with Asus 9800GX2 TOP .

so later if i already boring of it will try CF again, maybe 4870CF

as for GTX260, it's a nice GC as my cousin using them. it was a

Palit brand oc version.

my E84 was a C0 stepping , stock temp 3ghz idle very low hovering around 30C. i'm using Thermalright TRUE120 with single Vizo starlet UV led 120mm fan

if you are aftering cool and quite system, then E84 is the chip to consider. E0 stepping will be much cooler in idle

My Q9550 @3.4Ghz, doing 48c when normal usage(Browsing+movie), never checked idle. Cooled using TRUE with Lau yah AC Ryan Dead LED fan..
Previously on IFX-14, on normal usage(Browsing+movie), Stock Speed, temp was around 43c.

I'm still thinking whether to switch to WC or stick to Air...

Wah, not bad...30c only...
I look at my temps, i headache. If i push up to 3.8 (if the chip will do), that'll be a little too much for the TRUE to Handle.

hi @meno, whats your max oc for your proc u can push ah? just wanna know how much a P45 can unlock

bro, just stick with air cooler. less problem. buy better fan 2pcs and do the push/pull config.
btw, do you have any kangtau for the true120 fan mount bracket? who selling them?

right now, idle with 3 sanyo denki fans, 37-35-32-32 @ 1.152v
load with linx 62-60-61-61 @ 1.168v

like wat u said, need good fans.. previously using the cm 90cfm, temps were 66-66-65-65 @@

i oso had to relap the ifx, and reapply the thermal paste @@

overall, good performance

not sure on the penryn, but wc with fuzion v2 and true120 on i7 difference are minimal... but i didnt try any true with me, just compare to others.. so mayb diff ambient gua... but in malaysia if w/o aircond temp almost same de...

ermm.. mine oredi sold my cooler..
think to buy new one..
then no extra money edy..

stick with stock cooler..( the thin one)
and step back my clock to 3GHz ++ @ 1.25v
idle temp at night around 43-46 only..
during gaming can go to 55-60 only..( as usually no game use all 4 cores 100% like OCCt)

usually la.... but gta4 = prime95 stress test to me.... siao boh @@

GTA 4..emm..
im long time not playing new game oredi..

and im not really a 'GTA' type..

Never pushed beyond 3.4.
But now running 3.4Ghz on stock voltage with everything default.

TRUE fan bracket, earlier got one forumer sell some plastic ones.
If u want the metal clips, very expensive.
I heard it's RM60 per set, damn not worth, better take 2 cables tie the 2 fas together.

Hmm, wierd...But on the penryns, air cooling seems to be not really sufficient.

Wah, 3 sanyo denki. Rich guy...
I used to run the IFX on some deltas, but soon stopped using them, too noisy.

rich meh use sanyo denki? its even cheaper than cm 90cfm
