Hi, I was just wondering if it would be worth upgrading from a 8800gt to a BFG NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260 OC MAXCORE 55 896MB? I would like to get another year or two from my AMD Athlon 64 X2,6000+. I'm gaming on a 19" @ 1440 x 900. Games I've got to play are GTA4 and Crysis and lots of TF2. And...

Hi, this is good stuff. I'm concerned though were I cam get some good mosfet and PWM sinks from in the uk? Those mosfets are small.

Does the Arctic Cooling Accelero S1 come with all the extras, like heatsinks for the ram and mosfets?

Hi, The HR-03 GT sounds great and I think I'm going to get one. Does it include everything you need? And does includeheatsinks to cool the mosfets? Thanks

A noob question, but I have Driver Cleaner version 1.5 build 14.However, mobo is also nvidia, do I just use the nvidia WDM cleaning selection to remove video driver remains?

It makes the fan spin up a bit faster at a lower temp.

Max was 91c now 82c. This is a lot better for these cards and I may stop using RivaTuner now.

http://www.bfgtech.com/bfgr88512gtoce.aspx Click the support tab and there you'll find the a BIOS for the OC boards that adjusts the fan control. Note that OC2 boards already use a BIOS with a modified fan control. I have yet to try this, so it would be interesting to see if it works!

Thanks. Does RT have to be set to run at start up?

Hi, I've just read all the pages, I hope I keep my job! Anyway, my BFG is going great, but I would like to use Rivatuner to increase the fan speed over the 29% pre set amount. It this easy to do? Also, do you have to reinstall Rivatuner when the drivers are updated. Thanks

Thanks for the reply. I'll give it a try.

Hello, My copy of Vista HP arrived today! A quick question, If I install it will my copy of XP MCE become useless and stop working? I would like to try Vista, but I certainly do not want to use it as my main OS yet. Plus my old SB Live 5.1 sound card wont work. Many Thanks

I still can't get through Moduslink! I'm in the uk and there doesn't appear to be any phone numbers to call. I haven't had any response from emails. Btw, will I be able to dual boot both Vista and MCE2005? Or, will MCE be deactivated once Vista is activated?

Cheers, Well in that case I don't think I will bother using the coupon and stick with MCE for now. If I decide to get Vista in 6 months or so, then i'll just go and buy a separate OEM Home Premium Edition.
