OK, I opened the case while running UT3. I put a piece of scotch tape on my finger because I didn't want any skin grease to get on the surface of the northbridge heatsink (I have no idea if that would really create a heat spot but anyway). It was cool but I'm using a video card so I don't...

If I'm correct, running 3 sticks will mean being single channel right? If you really wanted more than 4GB, are you willing to go with 6GB? In any case, I'm not sure what the northbridge temperature is. I never touched it. I tried various programs like Everest, Sisoft Sandra, HW Monitor...

Thermalright HR-03 or Arctic Accelero Twin Turbo.

I can't remember but I thought I read somewhere that 2GB modules are harder on the CPU. I just can't remember where I read that. I have the Asus M3A78-EM and I'm running 2x1GB of 800 MHz RAM. (BTW, it's OCZ special ops ram).

No, you can trade the markets both ways. The real problem in stocks is the ability to short when there are no available stocks to borrow. lol Then you have to think of substitutes like trading the futures contracts etc... Whatever, I've been preparing myself for months now to start trading...

I'm glad you posted that. I don't know how much time it would take me to find that in that forum. In any case, I just thought of a way to take off my heatsink without tearing out my CPU with the thermal grease suction. I have a Coolermaster GeminiII S and I think I could use the tip of a...

ROFL, maybe you had a weird dream. :eek:

I thought someone here said SB750 would allow you to overclock Deneb like a banshee. Idk

I tried UT3 at 12x10 and 16x12. In any case, it's capped at 62 fps but in Shanghai it's like 35 to 50 fps or whatever some cases. But, walking around I might be capped at 62 fps. UT3 is kind of dependent on CPU as well from what I know. Maybe if I would have chosen the new 3.1 GHz X2 it...

I don't know how they overclock but the new 89 watt X2 6000+ at 3.1 GHz apparently has a heatpipe cooler from what I read on newegg reviews. Plus, at 3.1 GHz, it should give you what you want for most games etc. That would be my pick anyway. I might get a 70mm Nexus fan for it though.

Well, the temperatures on my HIS HD 4670 has yours beat hands down, 34'C idle and 50'C load. I don't think a $30 cooler defeats the purpose of buying a cheap card. Consider the difference in buying a $150 card and adding $50 to the cost with the cooler, ramsinks and thermal paste and so on...

Can all HD 4670 owners post their 3DMark06 scores? (You have to use the hotfix to make it work with new cards.) With an Asus M3A78-EM, X2 5400+, 2GB OCZ "Special Ops" RAM and the HIS, I have a score of 7840.

I think the ones that are kind of "universal" will fit the card. I'm thinking about the Thermalright HR-03. I saw some reviews and it's pretty impressive with a fan on it. I would put maybe a Nexus or Scythe fan on it. I'm wondering though, for those who have tried this before, where do...

I have a HIS. I hope my choice of brand is not the cause. I tried the solution from: http://www.gamereplays.org/community/index.php?showtopic=348152&pid=4198980&st=0&#entry4198980 and I was still able to see the microscopic lag when looking at the images changing during the UT2004...

I used GPU-Z and at idle, my HD4670 core was at 165MHz while the memory was at 249.8MHz. At load, it was 750MHz for the core and 999MHz for the memory (actually, I think the memory speed is double that in reality). Anyway, it also does that during games like when viewing a menu in UT3, it...
