Since you already own the game, you can download a NO-CD.exe I'm not sure about the rules here, so I won't link it. But make sure you make a backup of the original.exe so you can still get patches.

I'm fairly happy with my 680i SLi board from evga. I got this thing from newegg about two weeks ago and it easily overclocked with the e6600. However, about a week after I overclocked I started getting some problems. My computer would freeze up and become generally unstable while running games...

XP SP2 C2D 6600 running at 2.8ghz 1.21v 40'C Idle and 50-52'C underload Memory is 4gb of corsair xms2 not OC'd evga 8800GTX on the evga 680i - it's not OC'd but it's running hot 64'C Idle, up to 70-75'C ingame. I've had the computer for about 2 weeks and everything has been running...

Is there a demo out yet? Ebgames has the release as the 12th.

I have a Zalman 9500 on my evga 680i. I had to dremel the backside mounting tray to get the heatsink to sit properly. But it works really well, I'm sitting at a cool 39'C right now.

I've also got an e6600 with the 680i sli mobo, stock fan that came with the c2d. According to nvidia's monitor program that came with ntune, I idle at 55C and about the same temp underload, close to 70C. My case has plenty of fans so it's not the air flow.

I bought the evga, just because the 680i was an evga. *shrugs* does it really make a difference?

thanks guys, I sent an email to cancel, and I will call as soon as their offices open up monday morning.. :( I'll just newegg the parts and hope that I can figure out how to install everything !

Crap.. they already charged my card. *sigh* this sucks. I hope it doesn't take them 6 weeks to give my money back. My fianace fees are going to be insane. :(

Most of the people around here seem to build their own systems, but I was just wondering if any have ever bought from ibuypower.com ? I recently purchased a system and they have not been treating me with much respect. - When I call to inquire about my purchase status, they put me on hold for...
