    Should I upgrade from GA-EP35-DS4 to GA-EX38-DS4/GA-EP45-DS3

    OK thanks.. what about exchanging the memory modules (2x2GB) from 800Mhz currently to 1000Mhz or more? will it impact performance?

    A Note for BFG Customers...

    Hi Jeff.. About my card (the 9800gtx+ oc).. i was wondering if you can possibly tell us, why has BFG decided to change the cooler configuration on this and on the 9800gt+ oc models? (Although the cooler performance is similar using different cooling approach)...

    Got some "strange" BFG 9800GTX+ from RMA...

    Don't know if any of you noticed, but BFG's 9800gt oc and the plus version have a similar cooler.. (the plus version also comes in two revisions like the 9800gtx+ oc) http://www.bfgtech.com/bfge98512gtocpe.aspx

    Got some "strange" BFG 9800GTX+ from RMA...

    I'm from Israrel.. in the middle east. But "Lifetime warranty" is a funny thing.. it usually means the time that the card will be in your ownership, most people upgrade their cards within 3 years or less.. nobody keeps the card until the day he (The card or himself) dies :D

    Should I upgrade from GA-EP35-DS4 to GA-EX38-DS4/GA-EP45-DS3

    On behalf of PCI-E 2.0 and higher memory and FSB speeds? Will there be any difference performance wise? Thanks..

    as long as your case is properly ventilated, as it should be, you shouldn't have a problem.. i have an antec p182, so i'm covered. besides, i checked the temperatures of the cpu and case - they haven't changed. and the card itself is a lot cooler than the previous one.

    Eventually i took the card.. I figured that i have 30 out of 36 months of warranty remaining on it and i shouldn't worry. Also, it's just as quiet as the previous one and a lot cooler at idle mode 40c the plus one vs. 60c like 9800gtx.. so it's good.. thanks all.

    The response mail i got back from BFG: "There might be a slight difference in the PCB color due to different PCB manufacturers, but as far as I know there is no performance difference. The only difference in the fan/heatsink is that instead of blowing air out the back of the case it...

    yes but mine had a "stock" BFG cooler - which was different from the one on the company's site.. the pics you showed don't have stock coolers but of "Zalman" and "Sparkle" and such..

    perhaps i'll get you guys pics later on.. but it looked kind of "stripped".. because the cooler wasn't covering everything and there were wires sticking out.. funny, i called three other shops today, that are selling this card and they all said that the cards they supplied to the...

    Got some "strange" BFG 9800GTX+ from RMA...

    Hi everyone.. Recently my 6 months old BFG 9800GTX died, so i RMA'd it. I was told by the store owner (from which i bought the card) that the suppier doesn't have any regular 9800GTX (they were discontinued), so the supplier offered me a new BFG 9800GTX+ instead. OK, i got to the...

    "Warning" about combining Antec P182 + 9800GTX + upper HDD cage

    "Warning" about combining Antec P182 + 9800GTX + upper HDD cage

    The 8800GTS is obviously smaller than the 9800GTX.. so you'll have the same problem as mine unfortunately.. I wanted to better cool my HDD using the front upper fan.. but i'll be getting another fan for the lower chamber and see how it goes.. BTW Can a small 92mm fan be mounted somehow...
