    BFG 8800GT - Upgrade or New Cooling?

    Cooling would run me $50 - $75 at least I'm assuming. New video card budget, I'd say $250 - $300 if the card would last me awhile and my CPU wouldn't bottleneck.

    Also, if I were to upgrade, would my CPU be the bottleneck?

    BFG 8800GT - Upgrade or New Cooling?

    Hi Folks, Since I received the Starcraft II Beta, I’ve been back on PC gaming. During gaming, my OEM cooling on the 8800GT sounds like a jet engine. I don’t have issues with running the game at the highest settings (CPU overclocked to 3.6ghz). Would it be worthwhile to upgrade to a new...

    BenQ V2400W In Depth Review

    I have a 245BW and the monitor is perfect. No backlight bleeding or dead pixels on the first panel I received. The only annoyance is the lack of 1:1 pixel mapping as I frequently plug my PS3 and use it as a Blu Ray player (faces show stretched vertically). As a PC monitor, I see no flaws at...

    P5Q-xxx Owners - CPU temps inaccurate?

    Good to know that it is not me; I have tried this on two P5Q-E's with most updated firmwares and have very high temps (especially for a 45nm chip) Yes, most recent P5Q-E firmware (I believe 0803) P5Q-E with E8400.

    P5Q-xxx Owners - CPU temps inaccurate?

    To all P5Q-xxx owners, how do you find the temperature readings? I had fairly high temps on stock cooling and did not think twice about it but now that I have my TRU-120 Black (with Noctua 120mm fan), it still seems fairly high. Temps listed below are with the TRU-120 on a moderate...

    Just got a 8800GT OC - Let's talk VGA cooling

    A little OT but removing the BFG 8800GT OC's heatsink voids the lifetime warranty?

    Just got a 8800GT OC - Let's talk VGA cooling

    I would suggest the AC Accelero S1 Rev 2. Even though it is fanless, your case fan blowing directly on it will provide sufficient cooling as the heatsink is a large surface area. Good luck and let us know how you do.
