Finally gotten my Geforce GTX285 modified with Artic Cooling Extreme Cooler.

It stays idle @ 39c to 40c. Can't believe it is actually cooler than my old Geforce 8800GT modified with Zalman VF900 running at full speed all the time.

me still using 6600GT

Try OCed..and c got auto shutdown or not....

err..the new artic cooling extreme cooler is longer than reference one??
and tell me your temps @ full load

I will post the temp when I have the time to test it with some games.

I doubt it will be high. My guess it would be around 50-55c max. I also am not sure how fast all three fans are spinning idle.

Keep in mind that, the entire comp is very well ventilated as I have 2x 120mm fans intake and 1x 120mm fan for exhausting the hot air.

Also, my CPU itself is also below 40c (about 36-39c) idle.

How noisy are the fans??? Also, cannot use SLI side by side right if u use this cooler??

The fans are more silent (altogether) than my Zalman CNPS9500 LED running at full speed or half full speed.

Unfortunately you won't be able to run Tri SLI with this, even dual SLI is a bit difficult if both cards use this cooler because it takes up slightly more than 2 slots. Also, make sure the casing is can accomodate it. I think most full tower casing would be.

Oh yeah, you gotta try Asus Xonar DX2 soundcard. It is a lot better than Creative X-Fi Xtreme Music I used previously. Clearer,crispier and not so boomy.

any1 here using 9800GT SLI? i planning to SLI soon next month... so need opinion...

Then I hav no choice but to WC it lor.... Haihz....

Yeah... I know Xonar is better than X-Fi.... If I have the space, then I will try it... But for now, I think my SupremeFX is doing a great job.....

Is Deepcool blade heatsink better than Thermalright's Extreme 120?

Just asking because I remember that Deepcool Blade is like even heavier than Thermalright's one.

I'll upload the photo of the cooler in the casing later when I am free.

Yeah I guess you better go with watercooling. I probably go for watercooling if I were going for Tri-SLI as well.

from what i read, the GTX285 has a higher clock speed, core speed, memory speed than GTX295. so how come the GTX295 is better than GTX295.
or am i wrong........

source......Max it mag

bcoz gtx 295 has 2 gpu but gtx 285 has 1 gpu only
2 vs 1, of coz gtx 295 win

I can say that the TRUE is better than this..... I'm already opting for WC... Now just waiting for my items to arrive.... Later I'll be thinking to WC my GCs... For now, CPU 1st....

ya lor........
didnt read carefully........


but it seems that the difference not that high between those 2 card........

what?

my former card .save up from now lo bro,then buy a new rig + GTX300+ when its time and let all the drolling drop down on u

typo
