just want to intro myself as a penang overclocker. not a very pro one but just noob learning the tips and tricks to better my pc. currently running my E8500 at 3.8ghz.

thundermatch like the one in LYP? niceee.....

pc fair coming up again soon.. anyone planning to go?

also, @meno, still got any more 27" monitor ah? looking to sell my samsung 226bw and upgrade to 27" since i feel using the 22" doesnt do my 4870X2 justice. like...overpowered for such a small screen.

i wanted to test to see if my fans would spin up nicely when the temperature increases by experimenting with Speedfan software. so i loaded prime95v25 with 2 thread for my core 2 duo e8500 @ 3.8Ghz. suddenly my gf called saying she's not feeling well due to food poisoning so i left my pc immediately and went to see her, took her to hosp, and was practically with her for 4 days (friday evening to monday evening). i came back home on monday night and the prime95 was still running and max temp on both core is 55C and 54C. all fans spinning at 100% except the CM90CFM fan at 74% (cos 100% is too loud). i never tot striker extreme chipset was that stable. :-P

that's why i'm looking for dell 2709/2707/2708.

these monitors are larger than the 24" monitors but still use the same 1920x1200 resolution which can be handled easily by the 4870X2 with 2-8XAA + 16X AF + all details max.

its the sweet spot for a large screen since a 30" with 2560x1650 resolution is too high for the 4870x2.
