my workplace rig is running on a PIII 467MHz processor ....just opening gmail takes it to 100% load

sflexf costs around 20$ here in india...hope it would do well in a 35C temp environ like mine...

i just installed mine yesterday night ....took me around 15 mins to figure where to stick the fan clips into ...then after observing the instruction paper very closely discovered that we have to stick it in the side hole...took me around 2 hours to install it as i did some cable mgmt also...

lets see how intel,the processor giant goes head to head with the gpu giants like nvidia and ati...lots of competition, lots of card and hopefully lots of price cuts for us to buy them :)

8800GTX(G92) kinda like the 8800GTS's where they changed the memory sizes and gave better OC capabilities.what next a G92 Ultra? :P

Wouldn't Nvidia burying ATi be bad for us ,since Nvidia would monopolize the market ,fix their prices somewhere high and since there is no competition they bring out innovations at their own pace rather than in response to a competitor. If the budget cards like 8800GS or 9600GT had been put...

thats what i'm doing now .....but most of the high costs are due to taxes i guess...

nvidia coming out with new cards is good unless you live in a country like mine where you have to spend your month's or maybe two's salary to get a graphic card....if all the progress were proportional then that would be a good thing wherein a new card comes out and you are in a position to buy...

forget my room...the entire country is hot as summer has arrived....34C in summer in india is low given in two weeks the temps will be in higher 30's and next month in the lower 40's till june.even the freakin night time will be hot in lower 30~32 with occasional 26~29 on stock cooling my...

Ultra Extreme...just arrived yesterday evening...will install it today and start my OC...now its oc'd to 2.5GHz with load temps going to 63C in a 34C environ. hopefully the TRUE should get it to the 50's or even the higher 40's

after installing riva tuner and creating a fan profile the idle temp is at 54 and load temp when playing crysis is at 62

thanks SC...the CM690 is a monster of a case though...i can't use any of the top panel IO jacks

well then i'm gonna go home today evening and uninstall ntune....also GPUz tool shows the GPU temp to be 46.5C while the nvidia monitor shows 54C....confusing...

ok...so should i create a low level profile in riva tuner or a driver level one?...the fan on the MSI card is puny..i'll uninstall the ntune then huh?

good...which would be a good s/w for benchmark then? also can you shed any light on the fan control problem? the fan speed at 100% has the card idling at 54C...while auto control has it at 60C and when I was done with around 4 hours of crysis the gpu temp was at 85C...then i changed the side...
